Do Exports Promote Savings in African Countries?
Posted: 16 Nov 1998

Abstract
Maizels (1968) hypothesizes that exports contribute more to savings than the non-export part of GDP. In this paper, we study the Maizels' hypothesis for 17 African countries using time series data. The study finds general support for the Maizels' hypothesis.
