The research results confirmed unidirectional Granger causality from the exports of goods and services to gross domestic product. Following the Engle-Granger approach to cointegration, long-term equilibrium as well as short-term correlation between the observed variables was identified. Exports of goods and services and gross domestic product (GDP) in Croatia move together. If the two observed variables move away from equilibrium, they will return to their long-term equilibrium state at a velocity of 24.46% in the subsequent period. In accordance with the results, we found evidence supporting the export-led growth hypothesis in Croatia. As the outcomes indicated, to recover the economy, Croatia should put more emphasis on the development of exporting sectorsV članku preverjamo povezanost bruto domačega proizvoda in izvoza blaga in storitev na Hrvaškem v obdobju med letoma 1996 in 2012. Izsledki raziskave potrjujejo enosmerno Grangerjevo vzročnost od izvoza blaga in storitev do bruto domačega proizvoda. Skladno z Engle-Grangerjevim pristopom h kointegraciji smo ugotovili dolgoročno ravnovesje in kratkoročno korelacijo med opazovanimi spremenljivkami. Izvoz blaga in storitev in bruto domači proizvod se na Hrvaškem gibljejo skupaj. Če se gibanje opazovanih spremenljivk odmakne od ravnovesja, se v naslednjem obdobju vrnejo v dolgoročno stanje ravnovesja s hitrostjo 24,46 %. Skladno z izsledki smo potrdili hipotezo o izvozno podprti rasti na Hrvaškem. Rezultati nakazujejo, da bi morala Hrvaška za okrevanje gospodarstva večji poudarek dati razvoju izvoznih sektorjevTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverza v Mariboru, Ekonomsko-poslovna fakulteta
