The paper estimates the long-run elasticities of import demand in Jordan over the period 1980-2004. The Engle-Granger test of co-integration, fails to find favor of a long-run relationship among variables associated with an import demand. Furthermore, the recently prescribed Stock-Watson Dynamic...

This paper examines the stability of import and export demand functions for the United States over the 1975q1-2001q2 period. Using the Johansen maximum likelihood approach, an export demand function is readily identified. In contrast, there appears to be a structural break in the import demand...

This paper estimates disaggregated import demand function for Nigeria using annual data from 1970 to 2019. The study employs the Zivot-Andrews unit root and Gregory-Hansen cointegration tests to account for the role of structural breaks and the error correction mechanism for shortrun analysis,...
