Abstract: This study provides empirical evidence in support of the hypothesis that imports of intermediate and capital goods are critical inputs in the export production of the country. Thus, any short-run divergence in trade balance due to these would lead to higher exportable surplus in the long-run. In this context, the study estimates a semi-reduced export equation, for a sample of 1973-2005 annual data, through Ordinary Least Square method. The results indicate that in Pakistan’s case, there is a long-run relation between exports and imports of intermediate and capital goods.
