Abstract: This study investigates how export to Japan affects economic growth in 8 African countries, namely: Algeria, Egypt, Morocco, Kenya, Liberia, Nigeria, South Africa and Tanzania for the period 2004 – 2016. For this purpose we employ Ordinary Least Squares (OLS), fixed effects (FE) and random effect estimations. The empirical evidence shows that export to japan positively affects economic growth of selected African countries. The above findings are broadly consistent with ELG hypothesis and most empirical studies.
