It aims to evaluate how these trade partnership influence export diversification within Africa. Using network analysis, it develops three indices to measure the degree, closeness, and prestige of trading partners across 54 African countries from 2000 to 2020. These indices, along with traditional estimators, reveal two key findings. Firstly, the quality of trade partnerships, focusing on ‘who’ a country trades with, holds more significance than quantity. Secondly, there is a geographical imbalance, where the effect of trade partnerships turns negative for countries with higher product diversification. In conclusion, while intra-continental trade diversification shows promise, more advanced African nations may experience diminishing returns, suggesting a need for expanding trade networks beyond the continent for sustained export diversification</dc:description><dc:description xml:lang="sl">Študija raziskuje potencial sporazuma o afriškem celinskem prostotrgovinskem območju (African Continental Free Trade Area – AfCFTA) pri spodbujanju raznolikih izvoznih košaric s povečanim trgovinskim partnerstvom znotraj celine. Njen namen je oceniti, kako ta trgovinska partnerstva vplivajo na diverzifikacijo izvoza znotraj Afrike. Z uporabo analize omrežij razvija tri indekse za merjenje stopnje, bližine in prestiža trgovinskih partnerjev v 54 afriških državah od leta 2000 do 2020. Ti indeksi, skupaj s tradicionalnimi ocenjevalci, razkrivajo dve ključni ugotovitvi. Prvič, kakovost trgovinskih partnerstev, ki se osredotoča na to, s kom država trguje, ima večji pomen kot količina. Drugič, obstaja geografsko neravnovesje, kjer je učinek trgovinskih partnerstev negativen za države z večjo diverzifikacijo proizvodov. Skratka, medtem ko diverzifikacija trgovine znotraj celine obeta, utegnejo naprednejše afriške države doživeti zmanjšanje donosov, kar kaže na potrebo po razširitvi trgovinskih mrež zunaj celine za trajno diverzifikacijo izvoza</dc:description><edm:type>TEXT</edm:type><dc:type xml:lang="sl">znanstveno časopisje</dc:type><dc:type xml:lang="en">journals</dc:type><dc:type rdf:resource="http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q361785" /></edm:ProvidedCHO><ore:Aggregation rdf:about="http://www.dlib.si/?URN=URN:NBN:SI:doc-IZLOGGAU"><edm:aggregatedCHO rdf:resource="URN:NBN:SI:doc-IZLOGGAU" /><edm:isShownBy rdf:resource="http://www.dlib.si/stream/URN:NBN:SI:doc-IZLOGGAU/5355abae-bd9c-4fa4-a9e8-67348c8df589/PDF" /><edm:rights rdf:resource="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/" /><edm:provider>Slovenian National E-content Aggregator</edm:provider><edm:intermediateProvider xml:lang="en">National and University Library of Slovenia</edm:intermediateProvider><edm:dataProvider xml:lang="sl">Univerza na Primorskem, Fakulteta za management</edm:dataProvider><edm:object rdf:resource="http://www.dlib.si/streamdb/URN:NBN:SI:doc-IZLOGGAU/maxi/edm" /><edm:isShownAt rdf:resource="http://www.dlib.si/details/URN:NBN:SI:doc-IZLOGGAU" /></ore:Aggregation></rdf:RDF>
