Abstract

This paper investigates the inter-sectorial linkage of economic sectors and their contribution to economic growth using time series data from 1978-2014 and 1992-2014. This study employed a Johansen cointegration test and Ordinary Least Square (OLS) model. The Johansen cointegration and multiple regression results indicate that all economic sectors have strong, positive, and significant long-run and short-run relationship with economic growth during the study period in both countries. The result revealed that the MNF giant is an engine for Chinese economic growth, while agriculture took the lion's share of the Ethiopian economy. The MNF has a bi-directional Granger cause with economic development, agriculture, and SRV for China, while GDP and AGR are Ethiopia's only bi-directional Granger cause variables. Therefore, from a policy perspective, Ethiopian policymakers need to formulate agro-processing industries to ensure the transformation of the AGR to the MNF, maintain inter-sectorial linkage, and sustain the country’s economic growth.
