Abstract: The growth in regionalism in recent years has been reflected in a renewed interest within sub‐Saharan Africa in regional trade arrangements, and the recent adoption of the East African Cooperation agreement has continued a long tradition of trade cooperation between the economies of Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda. Using a gravity model approach, this paper examines the pattern of trade over the past three decades of regional trade cooperation in East Africa. The results suggest that regional trade cooperation has had a positive effect on the growth of trade between the three economies.
