Abstract: This article examines the role of trade in growth spillovers from the major world economies (the EU, US, and China) and top trading partners to Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) countries. The period of analysis covers from 1981 to 2015. According to the findings, during the 1981 to 2000 period, only the EU had positive and significant growth spillovers to SSA countries. During the 2001 to 2015 period, only the US seemed to have a significant growth spillover effect. On the other hand, growth spillovers to SSA countries from their top 10 trading partners were significant in both periods.
