Do higher exports lead to higher GDP growth?

We conclude that regression analysis used in this study to examine the relationship between GDP growth (Y) and exports of goods and services (X) in the US and Spain (1970-2015).Results showed that there is a positive and statistically significant relationship between exports and GDP growth in both countries. Thus increase in the exports of goods and services may result in an economic growth of a country. However, GDP and exports are not only the determinants of economic growth of any country
