摘要

尽管政策制定者做出了许多努力，但非洲国家之间的贸易仍然惨淡。在本文中，我们研究了民主是否会影响非洲内部的货物贸易。利用 2000 年至 2018 年期间 48 个撒哈拉以南非洲国家双边贸易的引力模型，我们发现民主促进了非洲内部的货物贸易。这种效应在制造业更为明显。然而，专制的逆转会对非洲内部的贸易流动产生不利影响。因此，我们的论文强调民主发展是加速非洲国家间贸易的重要渠道。

Democracy and Intra-Africa Trade.

Despite numerous efforts by policymakers, trade among African countries remains abysmal. In this paper, we investigate whether democracy influences intra-Africa trade of goods. Using the gravity model on bilateral trade among 48 Sub-Sahara African countries over the period 2000 to 2018, we find that democracy fosters intra-Africa goods trade. This effect is more pronounced in the manufacturing sector. Reversals to autocracy, however, adversely impact intra-Africa trade flows. Our paper therefore highlights democratic development as an important channel for accelerating trade among African countries.

期刊介绍： Comparative Economic Studies is a journal of the Association for Comparative Economic Studies (ACES). It aims to publish papers that address several objectives: that provide original political economy analysis from a comparative perspective, that are an accessible source for state-of-the-art comparative economics thinking, that encourage cross-fertilization of ideas, that debate directions for future research in comparative economics, and that can provide materials and insights that are relevant for teaching, public policy debate and the media. Comparative Economic Studies welcome both submissions that are explicitly comparative and case studies of single countries or regions. The journal is interested in papers that investigate how economic systems respond to economic transitions, crises and to structural change, brought about by globalization, demographics, institutions, technology, politics, and the environment. While maintaining its position as an important outlet for work on Central Europe and the Former Soviet Union, the scope of Comparative Economic Studies encompasses other areas as well (European Union, Asia, Latin America, and Africa).
