Abstract
This paper examines the relationship between exports, imports, and GDP in Palestine. To achieve this, annual data from 2000 to 2020 was utilized. Johansen's test for cointegration analysis was employed to estimate the VAR model and conduct Granger-Causality tests. Based on the results of the analysis, the least squares (OLS) regression test indicated that there is no causal relationship between exports, imports, and GDP, as demonstrated by Granger's test. Additionally, the VAR test revealed that exports do not affect GDP. However, it is expected that imports have a positive impact on the GDP of Palestine. These findings confirm that imports influence GDP, suggesting that they are one of the contributing factors to economic growth in Palestine.
期刊介绍:
Issues of governance, responsibility and accountability are becoming increasingly important as the world, simultaneously, becomes dominated by corporations, interconnected via forces of globalisation and transparent through heightened media attention and the rise in internet-led democracy. Companies, and in particular leaders of business, can no longer hide from their responsibilities to wider stakeholder community by claims of ignorance of corporate malpractices and of failure. Boards of directors are being increasingly made responsible for both the successes and failures of their companies, as well as their own conduct and behaviours. Actions of business have increasingly become a concern not just for shareholders but also for the wider community at large.
