- Abstract
-
The aim of the study was to asses the nexus between agriculture and economic growth in
Zimbabwe. In so doing, the study used time series data spanning for the period 1990 to 2019. The
ARDL model by Pesaran, Shin and Schmidt (2001) was adopted in order to estimate the model’s
unknown parameters. Interest rate, capital accumulation and labour force were used as control
variables. The study found out that agriculture has a positive impact on economic growth only in
the shortrun. The study therefore recommended the government to devise agriculture policies like
input subsidies that can stimulate agriculture output. - Date
