Trade Integration and Global Value Chains in Sub-Saharan Africa

The book provides an in-depth analysis of trade integration among sub-Saharan African countries within the global economy, emphasizing four key concepts: trade openness through import and export flows, the importance of centrality in global and regional trade networks, gravity model estimates that consider specific determinants of bilateral trade, and the integration into global value chains. This comprehensive approach highlights the complexities and dynamics of trade relationships in the region.
