dc.description.abstract이 연구는 사하라 이남 아프리카 지역의 경제 발전에 대한 기타 공식 흐름 (OOF)의 효과를 연구합니다. 이 연구는이 지역의 일부 36 개국을 대상으로 18 년간 조사되었습니다. 분석에서 고정 효과 (고정 효과) 회귀 모델을 사용했다. 규제는 경제 성장에 미치는 영향을 알아 내기 위해 (OOF)와 상호 작용하는 흡수 변수로도 사용되었습니다.

이 연구는 OOF가 1 인당 GDP 성장에 약간 부정적인 영향을 준다는 것을 발견했다. 또한, 규제와 상호 작용할 때 증가했지만 여전히 부정적 상관 관계가있는 것은 1 인당 GDP 성장에 중요성을 부여합니다. 무역 개방은이 지역의 성장률에 긍정적으로 기여했다. 이는 무역이 성장에 긍정적 인 영향을 미치지 만 이러한 무역 자유화로 인한 활동과 투자가 신중하게 고려되어야 함을 의미합니다.

이 연구의 함축적 의미는 사하라 사막 이남의 아프리카 국가들이 더 나은 비즈니스 규제가 실행되면 그러한 투자로 얻을 수있는 혜택을 확인하는 것이다. 투자 및 규제에 관한 일부 정책 권고안은이 국가의 발전에 대한 이러한 흐름의 결과를 개선하는 데 도움이 될 수있는 본 논문의 마지막 부분에 제시되었습니다.

dc.description.abstractThis research studies the effectiveness of Other Official Flows (OOF) on economic development in the Sub Saharan Africa Region. The study spanned a period of eighteen (18) years on some selected 36 countries in the region. A fixed effects (FE) regression model was employed in the analysis. Regulations were also used as an absorptive variable interacting it with OOF to find its effect on economic growth.
The study found that, OOF has a slightly negative significant effect on per capita GDP growth. Furthermore, it's significance on per capita GDP growth increased when interacted with regulation but still was still negatively correlated. Trade openness was significantly contributing positively to the growth rates in the region. This implied that, although trade has positive effects on growth, activities and investments that spring out of these trade liberalisations must be carefully considered.

The implication of this study is thus to identify the benefits countries in Sub-Saharan African Countries can gain from such investments if better business regulations are implemented. Some policy recommendations on investments and regulations were presented in the final part of this thesis that can help to improve the outcome of these flows to the development of these countries.
