Does It Matter for Africa with Whom It Trades? Estimations of the Impacts of Africa's Trade with the EU and China on Corruption

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This research builds upon theoretical assumptions regarding the relationship between openness to international trade and corruption. It seeks to answer the question of whether it matters for Africa with whom it trades. Specifically, our goal is to estimate and compare the impacts of Africa&apos;s trade with two key entities: the European Union (EU), its traditional primary trading partner whose share in Africa&apos;s bilateral trade has recently declined, and China, its emerging trading partner whose share in Africa&apos;s bilateral trade has been steadily increasing. This assessment will be focused on impacts on corruption. Our research utilizes a panel dataset comprising twenty-eight African countries for the period spanning from 2002 to 2016. We employ regression models including pooled OLS, fixed effects, and random effects, drawing upon data from the International Trade Centre, International Country Risk Guide, and the World Bank. Our findings suggest a weak but positive correlation between Africa&apos;s rising trade activity and corruption. However, this correlation is more pronounced in the case of trade with the EU, where the impact is estimated as positive, as opposed to trade with China, where it is estimated as negative. Additionally, while higher natural resources rents tend to have a negative impact on corruption in Africa, our results indicate that this is not the case of rents derived from trade with the EU.
