Abstract
This paper analyzes the determinants of exports of textiles of Amritsar and Ludhiana in wake of phase-out of ATC. Panel Regression models using log linear form have been estimated. Effect of phasing-out of ATC or end of quota restrictions has been analyzed on sample firms of both Amritsar and Ludhiana. It is found that abolition of quota did not have significant impact on exports of textiles in Amritsar and Ludhiana. However, when the data were analyzed, the removal of quotas had significant impact on the textile exports of both Amritsar and Ludhiana. Also, the coefficient of location showed that firms located in Amritsar were significantly different from Ludhiana.
