Africa’s Trade with China: Good for Growth?
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Trade between China and African countries has dramatically increased in recent years, at an unprecedented rate. At the same time, robust economic growth in Sub-Saharan African countries has accompanied this trade boom. The question remains however, whether or not trade with China has actually induced this growth. Furthermore, recent media reports have suggested that Africa’s trade with China may instead be detrimental to Africa’s development. This study examines the impact of Chinese trade alone on African growth. Controlling for endogeneity issues and institutional effects, it finds that evidence to suggest that Chinese trade has had a positive impact on African growth.
