“…Cadot, Carrere, and Strauss-Khahn (2011) showed that exports promote reduced production diversification. Ferreira and Harrison (2012) indicated that no long-run relationship was found between export diversification and economic growth. There is no consensus for that relationship.…”

This article examines whether openness of the economy promotes production diversification or production specialization and whether or not specialization/diversification spurs economic growth. International trade is important to stabilize and promote economic growth. However, promotion of international trade does not necessarily cause economic growth. This article focuses on the existence empirical patterns of production diversification/specialization between international trade and economic growth. The empirical results show that greater openness of the economy does not always mean the greater economic growth in emerging and developing countries. Economic conditions and market structures related to international trade must be considered carefully to achieve the economic growth.

“…The research of Bebczuk and Berrettoni [21] showed that the increase of export variety in Latin American countries did not lead to GDP expansion. Ferreira and Harrison [22] showed that there was no long-term relationship between Costa Rica's export variety and economic growth. Some other studies concluded that there was a "U"-shaped curve relationship between export variety and economic growth [23][24][25].…”

Which Export Variety Matters for Urban Economic Growth, Related or Unrelated Variety?

The relationship between export variety and economic growth has been paid much attention in academia. This paper discusses more deeply the relationship between export related and unrelated variety and economic growth, rather than mere export variety. This paper uses the entropy measurement method to measure the level of export variety of Chinese cities and use the concept of "proximity" proposed by Hidalgo to divide the related variety and unrelated variety. Using the panel data of 252 prefecture-level cities in China from 2000 to 2011, we attempt to explore the relationship between export variety, related and unrelated variety and urban economic growth. The empirical results show that it is not export variety as such, but related and unrelated variety that has effects on economic growth. Export related variety has a positive effect on economic growth, while unrelated variety has a negative effect. And there are obvious regional and size differences. The impact of export related and unrelated variety on eastern and coastal cities is greater than that on central and inland cities, and the impact on large-size cities is also greater than that on medium-size cities.

This paper addresses three issues (a) it attempts to estimate whether product and geographical export diversification has contributed to GDP growth during the 1972-2015 period, (b) identify the determinants of export diversification during this period and (c) ascertain whether a structural break in the export diversification-GDP growth relationshi p has occurred after 2000, since when policy of liberalization has been pursued. We find a significant though modest positive association between export diversification and GDP growth during 1972-2015 and some evidence that this relationshi p though remaining statistically significant, however, it somewhat weakened during the liberalization period 2000-2015. We also find that private sector credit and human capital growth and favorable movements in Pakistan's aggregate terms of trade are negatively associated with product export diversification. Export diversification is currently a policy priority; however, the government's emphasis has been geographical-not product-export diversification. Our estimations show no positive significant relationshi p between geographical export diversification and GDP growth. We therefore suggest that incentives should be provided to induce Pakistani exporters to attempt to penetrate global value chain in product areas in which they already have a presence by linking their business strategies to carefully selected leading global market players.
