| Summary: | The contribution of this paper is to investigate the impact of citrus exports on the economic
growth on Tunisia since it never been treated before. In order to achieve this purpose, annual
data were collected from the reports of Tunisian Central Bank for the periods between 1970
and 2016 was tested by using co integration analysis of Error Correction Model. According
to the result of the analysis, citrus exports do not influence on economic growth in the long
term. However, empirical results show that there is a positive unidirectional causality from
citrus exports to economic growth in the short run. These results provide evidence that citrus
exports, thus, are not seen as source of economic growth in Tunisia because the miserable
economic strategy. For this reason, it is very important to make new reforms and to create
robustness strategies to refine investment and trade strategy in this sector, so it can support
economic growth in Tunisia. |
