Abstract

This paper investigates the relationship between foreign trade and economic development in Guangdong Province, aiming to explore how Guangdong promotes economic development through foreign trade. Various econometric methods such as stationarity tests (ADF test), cointegration tests, Granger causality tests, and VAR models are employed to empirically analyze the data of Guangdong Province's GDP and total import and export volumes (Export and Import) from 2000 to 2023. The results indicate a significant positive correlation between foreign trade and economic growth in Guangdong Province. Export trade has a positive impact on high-quality economic development, while import trade shows a negative impact. This study provides theoretical references and empirical evidence for the future economic development of Guangdong Province.
