Productivity and industrial development in sub-Saharan Africa
探讨撒哈拉以南非洲大规模工业部门的发展现状与前景,认为仅靠国际贸易自由化不足以成功发展,还需提升企业的技术能力以实现弹性供给响应。
This paper considers the current state and prospects for efficient development of the large-scale industrial sector in sub-Saharan Africa. It is argued that the liberalization of the international trade regime is unlikely to be sufficient for successful development unless the technological ability of firms is increased to allow an elastic supply response. Alternate modes for improving supply responsiveness are considered.
