Abstract

This study investigates the relationship among exports, economic growth, investments and employment in a former country of the Soviet Union such as Ukraine. The purpose of this study was to examine the long-run relationship between these variables using quarterly data for the period 1991:I-2000:IV and applying the cointegration analysis as suggested by Johansen and Juselious. Then a multivariate autoregressive vector model (VAR) is used to estimate the short-run and the long-run relationships of variations of this model. The results suggested that export growth in combination with the increase of investments and employment have a positive effect on Ukraine’s economic growth.
