非洲正在发生的快速城市化正在导致大型城市群的出现。尽管在其他地方出现这种聚集会带来潜在和典型的经济利益,关于非洲的城市化,可以说不多。随着城市化预测的持续增加,有必要了解城市化和经济动态的关系,以便充分发挥这股浪潮的潜力。使用城市化率的面板数据集,贸易,经济增长,在1991-2019年期间,六个非洲国家的生产率和就业,我们使用来自六个非洲国家的数据,采用横截面增广自回归分布滞后(CS-ARDL)方法探讨了这种关系。研究结果表明,城市化与城市化之间存在显著的关系,国际贸易,经济增长,生产力,和就业。它们还显示了所研究变量之间的因果关系。此外,这项研究的结果表明,国际贸易有助于,显著,从长远来看,提高生产率,经济增长和就业,在短期内提高生产率和选定非洲国家的就业。这项研究研究,因此,非洲城市化和国际贸易具有巨大的经济潜力,因此需要得到鼓励和有效管理。这为规划者和决策者提供了证据,以支持旨在促进非洲国家结构转型的可持续城市化和多样化国际贸易的政策。
The rapid
urbanization taking place in Africa is resulting in the emergence of large urban agglomerations. Despite the potential and typical economic benefits associated with the emergence of such agglomerations elsewhere, not much can be said of Africa\'s urbanization. With
urbanization projections pointing to a continued increase, there is a need to understand the
urbanization and economic dynamics relationship in order to exploit the full potential of this wave. Using a panel data set of
urbanization rate, trade, economic growth, productivity and employment in six African countries for the period 1991-2019, we explore this relationship by adopting the cross-sectional augmented autoregressive distributed lag (CS-ARDL) approach using data from six African countries. The findings show that there is a significant relationship between
urbanization, international trade, economic growth, productivity, and employment. they also show a causal relationship between the variables studied. In addition, the findings of this study reveal that international trade contributes, significantly, to improving the productivity in long run and the economic growth and employment increase the productivity in short run and employment in the selected African countries. This research study, therefore, contributes to the critical argument that African urbanization and international trade have significant economic potential and therefore need to be encouraged and managed effectively. This provides evidence for planners and policy-makers to back policy geared toward sustainable
urbanization and diversified international trade that will contribute to the structural transformation of African countries.
