The estimated (OLS) results reveal that imports of intermediate goods have a significant positive impact on the growth and development of the manufacturing industries, and it would not be in Jordan's best interest to completely stop importing intermediate goods. While on the other hand, the cointegration analysis results show that imports of intermediate goods and growth in manufacturing industries in Jordan are not cointegrated.
