Global value chains (GVC) have propelled substantial expansion in international trade across the globe over the last two decades. Yet, the institution–GVC nexus in Africa suffers complete neglect in literature. Therefore, we evaluate the impact of different components of political and economic institutions on backward (BWDGVC), forward (FWDGVC), total GVC participation, and GVC position (upstreamness) in Africa. Using system-GMM with United Nations Conference on Trade and Development GVC database (UNCTAD-Eora MRIO) for 47 African countries over the period 2000–2018, the key findings show that the effects of the political and economic institutions on GVC participation are diverse. Specifically, property rights, government spending, monetary freedom, and tax burden negatively affect BWDGVC participation while government integrity, investment freedom, and financial freedom stimulate the BWDGVC. Also, all the components of institutional quality that propel BWDGVC, hinder FWDGVC participation and upstreamness, except investment freedom which promotes both BWDGVC and FWDGVC. Nonetheless, property rights, government integrity, monetary freedom, financial freedom, and tax burden engender total GVC participation, whereas government effectiveness, and investment freedom hinder the total GVC participation. Furthermore, good political institutions promote BWGVC and total GVC but reduce upstreamness. Thus, institutions are fundamental drivers of GVC participation in Africa.

非洲作为全球价值链餐桌上的服务员:机构对她的参与重要吗?

在过去的二十年里,全球价值链 (GVC) 推动了全球国际贸易的大幅扩张。然而,非洲的制度与全球价值链的关系在文学中完全被忽视。因此,我们评估了政治和经济制度的不同组成部分对非洲落后 (BWDGVC)、前进 (FWDGVC)、全球价值链参与度和全球价值链地位(上游性)的影响。使用 system-GMM 和联合国贸易和发展会议全球价值链数据库 (UNCTAD-Eora MRIO) 在 2000-2018 年期间为 47 个非洲国家提供的主要研究结果表明,政治和经济机构对全球价值链参与的影响是多种多样的。具体而言,产权、政府支出、货币自由和税收负担对 BWDGVC 的参与产生负面影响,而政府诚信、投资自由、和财务自由刺激 BWDGVC。此外,除了促进 BWDGVC 和 FWDGVC 的投资自由之外,推动 BWDGVC 的制度质量的所有组成部分都会阻碍 FWDGVC 的参与和上游性。尽管如此,产权、政府诚信、货币自由、财务自由和税收负担导致了全球价值链的全面参与,而政府效率和投资自由阻碍了全球价值链的全面参与。此外,良好的政治制度会促进 BWGVC 和总 GVC,但会降低上游性。因此,机构是非洲参与全球价值链的基本驱动力。尽管如此,产权、政府诚信、货币自由、财务自由和税收负担导致了全球价值链的全面参与,而政府效率和投资自由阻碍了全球价值链的全面参与。此外,良好的政治制度会促进 BWGVC 和总 GVC,但会降低上游性。因此,机构是非洲参与全球价值链的基本驱动力。尽管如此,产权、政府诚信、货币自由、财务自由和税收负担导致了全球价值链的全面参与,而政府效率和投资自由阻碍了全球价值链的全面参与。此外,良好的政治制度会促进 BWGVC 和总 GVC,但会降低上游性。因此,机构是非洲参与全球价值链的基本驱动力。
