Abstract

The aim of this study is to highlight the key competitiveness elements that promote trade flows between the BRICS countries of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa and those in Sub-Saharan Africa. To do so, we employ the econometrics of panel data during the period of study from 1995 to 2018. We apply the Blundell and Bond GMM estimator [1998] and we utilize Sargan’s [1958] over-identification test to confirm the validity of delayed variables in level and difference as instruments used in our estimations. The empirical findings of our study show that trade policy actions, high natural resource allocation and the evolution of gross domestic product (GDP) per capita of the participating countries promote this trade openness between BRICS and Sub-Saharan Africa economies. Additionally, African countries need to develop their industrial sector to export more high-value manufactured products.

贸易开放与竞争力:金砖国家和撒哈拉以南非洲国家

本研究的目的是强调促进巴西、俄罗斯、印度、中国和南非等金砖国家与撒哈拉以南非洲国家之间贸易流动的关键竞争力因素。为此，我们采用了1995年至2018年研究期间面板数据的计量经济学。我们应用Blundell和Bond GMM估计量[1998]，并利用Sargan的[1958]过度识别检验来确认水平和差异中的延迟变量作为我们估计中使用的工具的有效性。我们研究的实证结果表明，参与国的贸易政策行动、高自然资源配置和人均国内生产总值的演变促进了金砖国家与撒哈拉以南非洲经济体之间的贸易开放。此外，非洲国家需要发展其工业部门，以出口更多高价值的制成品。
