title: The Influence of Chinese FDI on Structural Change in Africa
ispublished: pub
full_text_status: public
abstract: This explorative research aims to find out how Chinese investments are related to structural economic changes in African economies. This research has found that African countries that receive Chinese FDI perform stronger in all terms of structural economic change than countries that do not receive Chinese FDI. It appears that China selects better performing economies to invest in. FDI receiving countries show both positive and negative relations between Chinese FDI and employment, and between Chinese FDI and productivity. Between different sources of FDI, there are some differences found in this research. FDI that originates from other sources than China shows a larger positive effect on productivity in receiving countries than FDI from China. For the future, it is to be expected that the influence of Chinese money in Africa will increase as China is increasing its share as an investor in Africa.
