- W3136245589 abstract "Theoretically, proponents of traditional trade theories argue that trade openness can enhance economic growth by providing access to goods and services, achieving efficiency in allocation of resources through comparative advantage, creation of employment opportunities and generation of capital that leads to better living standards in terms of higher level of GDP per capita,trade openness may strengthen economic growth through different channels such as efficient allocation of resources. However, owing to the fact that there are limited studies on trade openness, various studies indicate divergent views on the effect of trade openness on economic growth. For this reason, it is not clear whether or not trade openness affect economic growth in Sub-Saharan Africa. The main objective of this study was to investigate the effect of trade openness on economic growth in Sub-Saharan Africa. Control variables used in the regression included oversees development assistance, population growth rate, domestic credit and foreign direct investment. Trade openness, inflation and capital stock were explanatory variables and economic growth the dependent variable. This study was modeled using the Neoclassical Growth theory. One- step difference Generalized Method of Moments results revealed that trade openness had a positive and significant effect on economic growth, capital stock positive and insignificant relationship, while inflation had positive and insignificant relationship with economic growth in SSA.The study thus recommends that there is a need for improving balance of trade by increasing exports diversification and balanced growth and the policy makers of SSA countries should have to give a priority for trade and investment policies which requires some reforms to adjust with changing economic environment. The study concluded that extra-regional trade spurs higher output than intra-regional trade. This may be due to lack of efficiency in the implementation of trade agreements among the intra-regional constituent countries such as Sub-Saharan African countries and lack of full commitment by the member states governments to trade more intensively.
