Chinese import dominance and structural transformation in Africa
This study analyzes the effect of China’s import dominance on Africa’s structural transformation, measured through the Shapley decomposition approach. A pooled mean group Autoregressive Distributed Lag (PMG-ARDL) model is analyzed using panel data from 1995–2018 for 21 countries. We find that Chinese imports of goods and services, like those from the rest of the world, increase Africa’s structural transformation in the long-run. However, the magn…
Trade Margins and Firm‐Level Responses to Global Shocks
This study examines how the 2008/2009 global financial crisis (GFC) and the COVID‐19 pandemic differentially impacted Kenya's export and import performance at the firm level. Utilising monthly firm‐level customs data from 2006 to 2022, we decompose trade margins and identify determinants of the mid‐point export and import growth during the GFC and the COVID‐19 pandemic. Findings reveal distinct trade patterns between the crises, with the intensiv…
An analysis of value chain trade in Africa
Africa's participation in global value chains (GVCs) is not well documented compared with the developed world. Clearly understanding GVC participation levels is critical to enable evidence‐based policy. This paper uses two sources of data to assess Africa's GVC participation and empirically estimates determinants of GVC participation across the data sets. The analysis relies on databases based on customs‐level data (firm and country) and firm sur…
Energy Logistic Regression and Survival Model
The importance of environmental sustainability is becoming more and more obvious, so the rationale behind long-term usage of solely non-renewable energy sources appeared questionable. This study aims to identify, using Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and logistic regressions, the main determinants that affect the duration of Russian non-renewable energy exports to different regions of the world. Data were retrieved from the databanks of the World …
