This collaborative research study assesses the export performance of the SEACEN countries; their involvement in designing and implementing export promotion strategies; as well as the problems and issues faced by them. The study also examines empirically the export-led growth hypothesis as well as the major factors in determining export demand for the SEACEN countries. As shown in the study the empirical tests are more significant in those country cases where the promotional activities have been undertaken earlier and hence with a good track record of industrialization and higher per capita income.
