N2  - The study aims primarily at investigating the determinants of export diversification in Egypt. It starts with exploring why export diversification matters by finding out the different channels through which it can affect economic growth. Then it explains its determinants according to theoretical literature and empirical studies. Applying time series econometric techniques of co-integration, VECM and VAR over the period 1974-2010 indicates that the long run determinants of export diversification in Egypt are domestic investment, FDI and trade openness, where domestic investment and FDI increase export diversification and trade openness increases concentration.
