摘要

本研究探讨了非洲大陆自由贸易区(AfCFTA)从 2014 年到 2021 年对 43 个非洲国家的信息和通信技术(ICT)及数字技术(DT)部门的区域贸易的影响。报告采用增强引力模型和置信度估计,强调了非洲大陆自由贸易区在促进非洲大陆 ICT&DT 贸易方面的中介作用。通过对包含 5,160 个观测值的面板数据集进行分层回归分析,研究结果表明,贸易开放度和生产能力不仅促进了 ICT&DT 部门的贸易,而且还在各个经济部门产生了积极的溢出效应。本研究完善了引力模型的应用,以满足对具体部门进行分析的需要,从而解读贸易的制度动态和不利因素,为国际商业文献做出了贡献。研究指出,非洲自由贸易区是全球贸易格局中的一个关键要素,但尚未得到充分探索,随着非洲寻求在全球舞台上发挥更加突出的作用,研究强调了非洲自由贸易区的潜力。研究强调了数字赋权和政策改革对非洲自由贸易区区域一体化利益最大化的重要意义。

African Continental Free Trade Area and Regional Trade in ICT and Digital Technologies

This study examines the impact of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) on regional trade in the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and Digital Technologies (DT) sector across 43 African countries from 2014 to 2021. Employing the augmented gravity model and confidence-level estimations, it highlights AfCFTA's mediating role in enabling ICT&DT trade on the continent. Using hierarchical regression analysis of a panel dataset comprising 5,160 observations, the findings imply that trade openness and productive capacities not only facilitate trade in the ICT&DT sector but also result in positive spillover effects across various economic sectors. This study contributes to the international business literature by refining the application of the gravity model to capture the need for sector-specific analyses to unpack institutional dynamics and dis-enablers of trade. It identifies AfCFTA as a pivotal yet underexplored element in the global trade landscape, highlighting its potential as Africa seeks a more prominent role on the global stage. The research stresses the significance of digital empowerment and policy reforms to maximise the benefits of regional integration under AfCFTA.
