The present paper examines the links between international trade, capital and economic growth in Thailand from 1950 to 2000 in an applied growth model including exchange rate as a control variable. Prior to 1980 the elasticity of per capita income with respect to trade was -0.2% switching to 0.07% in 1980 in line with the change from resource exports and import substitution to manufactured exports. The exchange rate elasticity of per capita income prior to 1980 was 0.4% switching to -0.2% consistent with the move to a floating exchange rate. Results confirm the overriding theoretical importance of investment to economic growthDownloads
