The objective of this research is to reexamine the constraints to export supply in ECOWAS countries, mainly in intra-regional trade. To achieve this objective, we use gravity model estimated with the Pseudo-Poisson Maximum Likelihood (PPML) techniques. Our results show that the number of...

This paper investigates the impact of the digitalization on intra Africa export. We construct panel data model for 53 African countries covering the period 2005 to 2017 and estimates the model with GMM technique. The results show positive and significant effect of digitalization variables on...

This study explores the extent to which regional integration can be a viable tool in driving energy sustainability in the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) sub-region of Africa, and vice versa. It examines the existing opportunities and the attendant challenges for improved...

Global value chains (GVC) have recently become an important developmental issue and have become prominent within the development community. Empirical studies on the peculiar nature of firms (small-scale) in the GVC are sparse, especially in Africa. Thus, the present study empirically examines...

The objective of this paper is to access the effect of the digitalization on intra Africa export. We construct panel data with 53 African countries covering the period 2005 to 2017. The method of GMM is used to estimate our econometric model. The results showed a positive and significant effect...

The global economic crisis of 2007/2008 that threatened the economic/financial fabrics of most countries has brought again the essence of strong institutional quality to the fore. This is particularly interesting as it impacted on trade outcomes in many countries including those in Africa. For...
