Abstract
The objective of this note is to compare the econometric performance of several different equations which attempt to model the behaviour of export volumes of manufactured goods. Such equations usually explain export volumes in terms of an index of world economic activity and an index of competitiveness. This note concentrates on the issue of competitiveness; namely, how should competitiveness be defined and measured when employed in an export volumes equation?Keywords
