Abstract
Purpose
This paper aims to test the political-economy hypothesis that country sizes are related with constraints associated with Chinese trade.
Design/methodology/approach
This study applies a generalized linear mixed approach on panel data of Southern African (henceforth SADC) economies from 2001 to 2014 to observe common Chinese trade patterns among SADC countries.
Findings
Empirical results support the hypothesis that structural differences exist and smaller SADC countries are disadvantaged in their trade relations with China.
Research limitations/implications
This paper is exploratory by nature. Its scope and the depth of analysis is constrained by data availability.
Originality/value
The manuscript has been approved by the author and has never been published, or has been considered for publication elsewhere.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Chinese Economic and Foreign Trade Studies (JCEFTS) negotiates China''s unique position within the international economy, and its interaction across the globe. From a truly international perspective, the journal publishes both qualitative and quantitative research in all areas of Chinese business and foreign trade, technical economics, business environment and business strategy. JCEFTS publishes high quality research papers, viewpoints, conceptual papers, case studies, literature reviews and general views.
