for the period from 1980 to 2021, using the joint integration method.
Each of the concepts, types of exports and imports are dealt with. The relationship between them, and
based on Bounds Test slowing to distinguish the long-term relationship and Analysis of short-term
exports' dynamic behaviour and adjustment in the short term to maintain long-term balance.
We have found that exports and imports have a long-term complementary relationship, and there is an
unilateral relationship between exports and imports in the short term, which suggests that fluctuations
or changes in exports have an impact on imports, and vice versa.
