dc.description.abstract | Despite owning the largest livestock resources in Ethiopia, the export performance of hides and
skins have not yet reached the desired stage of development due to several factors and
constraints. The major objective of this study is therefore to investigate factors that determine
hides and skins export performance of the country by analyzing data for the period from 1975-
2014G.C. This study also tried to review the export performance; trends and production of Hides
and skins export and examine the long run and the short run determinants of export performance
of Ethiopia. The data collected from NBE, CSA, ERCA and WB and WDI were analyzed for long
run and short run estimates using Johansson cointegration and Vector Error Correction
approaches. The findings of the study revealed that in the long run export performance has found
to be positively influenced by real effective exchange rate, RGDP of trading partner and
infrastructural development. The RGDP of Ethiopia has found to be negatively affecting this
sector. Hence, the long run elasticities of export performance with respect to real effective
exchange rate, RGDP of Trading partner, infrastructural development and RGDP of Ethiopia
were 2.9, 4.4, 2.4 and -1.25respectively. In the short run only last year RGDP of Ethiopia and
Expenditure on transport and communication has directly involved in enhancing export
performance of current year. improving livestock production mechanism, increasing demand for
meat, maintaining high and sustainable economic growth and improvements in infrastructural
facilities should due emphasis so as to improve Ethiopia's hides and skins products export
performance.
