非洲内部贸易及对中国的外贸政策启示

African Intra-trade and its Inspiration on China's Foreign Trade Policy

利用1995～2012年数据定量考察了非洲内部贸易的现状及其产生的原因。结论显示长期以来内部贸易在非洲整体贸易的份额仅占10％左右，远远低于世界其他地区。阻碍非洲内部贸易发展的原因可以归纳为：非洲的经济一体化程度不高、基础设施比较落后、区域内非关税壁垒不断增加、经济结构互补性差以及其他因素。对此，进一步研究了扩大内部贸易对非洲经济发展的积极影响以及中国为促进非洲内部贸易的外贸政策选择。

This paper uses the data from 1995 to 2012 to investigate the situation of African intra-trade and its underlying reasons. The results show that the ratio of African intra-trade to total African trade is only 10%, which is much lower than that of other areas in the world. The reasons restricting the development of African intra-trade can be concluded as the following： lower economic integration degree, backward basic infrastructure, more non-tariff barrier, poor economic structure complementarity and other factors. Besides, it also analyzes the positive influence of expanding African intra-trade on African economic development and the foreign trade policy selection of China to promote African intra-trade.
