Infrastructure and Manufacturing Value Added in Sub-Saharan African Countries

Article scientifique 2020 Anglais

Résumé

Abstract This paper examines the nexus between infrastructure and manufacturing value added (MVA) in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). It employs panel data for 34 SSA countries spanning 2003 to 2018. The empirical results obtained from the static and dynamic panel estimation techniques applied suggest that infrastructure is essential for the improvement of manufacturing value added in SSA. Furthermore, our findings reveal that the infrastructure-MVA nexus varies by infrastructure types (electricity, transportation, information and communication technology (ICT) and water and sanitation) and across the different sub-regions that make up SSA. This study therefore posits that massive investment in infrastructure is a viable policy option for enhancing the growth and development of the manufacturing sector in SSA.
