Abstract
Exports assist economic development via the creation of jobs. The present study specifies and estimates a time-series model in order to quantify relationships between state exports and employment. The export elasticities of employment in both the short run and the long run are estimated on a state basis. The results suggest that state government policies that affect state exports will ultimately affect state employment. Further, the results indicate there is much diversity among states for the relationships estimated.
