Summary:A new theoretical model is developed to explain these controversial relationships. The a priori model receives support from a structural equation analysis of data from 107 countries. Exports are found to have a direct positive effect on an economic dimension and a direct negative effect on basic needs. Imports are shown to have the opposite direct effects. Indirect and total effects also are explored.
