AbstractA linear goal programming model for planning the exports of emerging countries is formulated in this paper. The model includes some economic factors which may affect the exports, e.g. industrial structure, labour force, value added in exports, capital efficiency, imports of raw material used for manufacturing goods designated for exports, investment plan, etc. An illustrative example is presented. A sensitivity analysis was performed in order to examine the effect of various changes made in the model on the results. It is felt that the model presented in this study would be useful to economic planners in emerging countries.
