Note(s): (1) All variables are in natural log format except for the exchange rate in columns 2 and 3; column 2 shows the exchange rate in log differences and column 3 shows average differences. (2) Figures in parentheses are the Standard Errors of the corresponding variables. (3)*significant at 0.01 level for a two-tailed test, 0.05 level for a two-tailed test and ***significant at 0.1 level for a two-tailed test. (4) ER, exchange rate; REP, relative export price; LP, labor productivity; RD, proxy for technology; DM, Overall demand for the manufacture of Ethiopia and Ln, natural log
