Popis: This study analyzed the impact of trade openness and institutional variables on GDP growth of Pakistan usingannual time series data for the period 1984 to 2010. This study follows the Johansen co-integration analysis anderror correction model to analyze the long run relationship among the variables. The result of Johansenco-integration indicates that there exists a long run equilibrium relationship among the variables in the model.There is a negative long-run relationship between real GDP and trade openness. The relationship betweengovernment stability (GOV_ST) and real GDP is found to be positive whereas the association between real GDPand corruption is found to be negative. The error correction term (ECT) is statistically significant at the 5% levelof significance suggests a moderate speed of convergence to equilibrium.
