dc.description.abstractThe purpose of this study is to identify the determinants of Malaysia's Electrical & Electronics (E&E) exports. Although literature on export determinants is bountiful, the available research done on E&E exports per se seems to be lacking. Since E&E exports has been and still is the pillar of growth for Malaysia's overall export growth, it only seems right to dedicate a purposeful research on this sub-sector. Using time series data from 1970-2010, the short run and long run relationships between the variables real effective exchange rate, foreign direct investments and world GDP with E&E exports are tested using the Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) and Johansen-Juselius cointegration test procedures respectively. The data are also tested using the Granger Causality test based on VECM to identify if these explanatory variables Granger cause E&E exports. The empirical results reveal that both short-run and long-run relationships exist among the independent and dependent variables with foreign direct investments and world GDP having a positive relationship with E&E exports while real effective exchange rate showed an inverse relationship with E&E exports. In fact, the results show that the effect of real effective exchange rate on E&E exports is very significant. Although this study focuses on a sub-sector of total exports, the findings are consistent with previous literature on the determinants of exports.en_US
