Abstract

The study adds to the discussion on the necessity for Sub-Sahara African (SSA) countries to eradicate poverty, as outlined in SDG 1 and Africa’s Agenda 2063. This contribution was successful in achieving some key objectives. First, we examine the impact of Chinese FDI and institutional quality on the eradication of poverty in SSA. Second, we test empirically whether institutional quality can help Chinese FDI to reduce poverty in SSA. Using an annual dataset for 36 SSA countries for a 20-year period ending in 2020, our pooled OLS results showed that Chinese FDI does not reduce poverty unless there are strong institutions and good governance. Also, the results showed that strong institutions and good governance reduce poverty in SSA. As a result, we recommend that governments establish policies to develop systems and structures that encourage industrialization and attract foreign investors for SSA to reap the full benefits of Chinese FDI.

中国的外国直接投资流量和制度质量对贫困有影响吗？撒哈拉以南非洲的证据

该研究补充了关于撒哈拉以南非洲国家消除贫困的必要性的讨论，如可持续发展目标1和非洲2063年议程所述。这一贡献成功地实现了一些关键目标。首先，我们考察了中国FDI和制度质量对SSA消除贫困的影响。其次，我们实证检验了制度质量是否有助于中国FDI在SSA减贫。使用36个撒哈拉以南非洲国家截至2020年的20年年度数据集，我们汇总的OLS结果显示，除非有强大的制度和良好的治理，否则中国的外国直接投资不会减少贫困。此外，研究结果表明，强有力的机构和善政减少了SSA的贫困。因此，我们建议各国政府制定政策，发展鼓励工业化的制度和结构，吸引外国投资者参与SSA，以充分受益于中国的外国直接投资。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Asian and African Studies (JAAS) was founded in 1965 to further research and study on Asia and Africa. JAAS is a peer reviewed journal of area studies recognised for consistent scholarly contributions to cutting-edge issues and debates. The journal welcomes articles, research notes, and book reviews that focus on the dynamics of global change and development of Asian and African nations, societies, cultures, and the global community. Published articles cover: -development and change -technology and communication -globalization -public administration -politics -economy -education -health, wealth, and welfare -poverty and growth -humanities -sociology -political science -linguistics -economics JAAS adheres to a double-blind reviewing policy in which the identity of both the reviewer and author are always concealed from both parties. Decisions on manuscripts will be taken as rapidly as possible. However, while it is hoped that a decision can be made in 6-8 weeks, the refereeing process makes it impossible to predict the length of time that will be required to process any given manuscript.
