 Le capital humain est-il important pour la diversification des exportations ?: L’expérience des économies d’Afrique Sub-Saharienne(ASS)Does human capital matter for export diversification? The experience of the economies of Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA)Georges Dieudonné Mbondo, Duclo Bouwawe and Romuald Fernand Awoutcha Tchieuzing MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany Abstract: This paper examines the varied effects of human capital on export upgrading in Sub-Saharan African economies. It uses a dynamic panel model by the method of generalized moments in system applied over the period 1995 2018 to a sample of 30 SubSaharan African countries. While the results reveal that human capital has a positive effect on diversification, they also show that the estimated effects are varied: the accumulation of human capital serves as a capacity for absorbing knowledge from abroad, which improves export diversification. However, although the results reveal the negative effect of the human capital-IDE interaction on diversification, the interconnection between human capital and the foreign trade of states shows a positive effect and therefore constitutes a key vector in export diversification strategies.
