  1. ***,**,* Significance levels at 1%, 5% and 10%, respectively. DHT Difference in Hansen Test for Exogeneity of Instruments Subsets, Dif Difference, OIR over-identifying restrictions test. The significance of italic values is twofold. (1) The significance of estimated coefficients and the Fisher statistics. (2) The failure to reject the null hypotheses of: (a) no autocorrelation in the AR(1) and AR(2) tests and; (b) the validity of the instruments in the Sargan and Hansen OIR tests. Gov’t Government, nsa not specifically applicable because the estimated model is not valid, na not applicable because at least one estimated coefficient required for the computation of net effects is not significant. The mean value of imports is 40.422 while the mean value of exports is 28.459. Constants are included in all regressions
