Furthermore, Results of FMOLS confirms that out of all the variables included in the model, GDP, TRGDP and ER have significant effect on the exports. ECM panel unit root test were applied to confirm the stability of FMOLS. According to the unit root test of the residuals of FMOLS model, it can be confirmed that the long run results are not spurious.Results of Panel ECM show that out of all variables GDP and TRGDP are positively effect on exports.Finally, results of Granger Causality show that only CPI, GDP and TRGDP are cause exports in Malaysia.The government of Malaysia through understood the importance of exports with TPP member countries to boost economic growth.The latter not only contributes to economic growth through capital formation but also promotes trade activity by making financial resources available at lower cost; attracting foreign direct investment as well as facilitating development of advanced technology.
