Description 1 online resource (32 p.)
Summary Annotation This paper examines the empirical relationship between trade and total factor productivity (TFP) in South Africa. It uses (i) a time series approach where trade is defined in terms of aggregate outcomes, i.e., as the share of imports plus exports in GDP, and (ii) a cross sectional approach, where trade is defined in terms of trade policy, i.e., as actual trade protection across different manufacturing sectors. the results indicate that there is a significant positive relationship between trade and TFP growth both over time and across sectors
