Abstract
⺠This paper investigates causality relations among real GDP, exports and FDI in LDCs. ⺠Growth-led export hypothesis holds true in countries rich in natural resources. ⺠Export-led growth hypothesis holds true in manufacturing and services exporters. ⺠FDI does not have a “crowding out” effect on national output in LDCs. ⺠FDI is trade-creating in manufacturing LDCs, while market-seeking in oil-rich LDCs.
