“外贸对广州经济增长贡献”一直是一个被忽视的问题,有必要讨论该问题。研究该问题的方法较多,本文运用联立方程模型,利用有关宏观经济变量,对外贸与广州经济增长的关系进行了实证研究,对广州经济增长的外贸贡献率和外贸拉动度进行了计算。表明,在1990~2011年期间,广州的出口弹性平均值为0.17,即出口每增长10%可以促进GDP增长约1.7%。 “Foreign trade contribution to Guangzhou’s economic growth ” has always been a neglected issue, it is necessary to discuss the issue. There are many ways to study this problem. By using the simultaneous equations model and the relevant macroeconomic variables, this paper conducts an empirical study on the relationship between foreign trade and Guangzhou’s economic growth, and calculates the contribution rate of foreign trade to Guangzhou’s economic growth and the degree of foreign trade’s pull. Shows that in 1990 to 2011, Guangzhou’s average export elasticity of 0.17, that is, for each 10% increase in exports can promote GDP growth of about 1.7%.
