摘要

摘要本研究对31个非洲国家进行了为期17年的调查，以评估这些国家之间的贸易一体化是否导致了其商业周期的同步。这是加入货币联盟需要考虑的一个重要问题。与以往的研究不同，本文采用时变指标来衡量经济周期的同步性。异质性面板估计揭示了这些非洲国家的两个变量之间的正相关关系。东非共同体(EAC)当局应考虑这一实证发现，以进一步讨论EAC货币联盟的准备情况。

Trade Integration and Business Cycle Synchronization among East African Community Countries

ABSTRACT This study uses a panel of 31 African countries for a period of 17 years to assess whether trade integration among these countries has led to the synchronization of their business cycle. This is an important issue to consider for entry into a monetary union. Unlike most previous studies, a time-varying index is applied to measure business cycle synchronization. The heterogeneous panel estimators reveal a positive relationship between the two variables among these African countries. This empirical finding should be considered by the East African Community (EAC) authorities for further debate on the readiness of the EAC Monetary Union.
