يتفحص هذا الموجز السياسي البحث الاقتصادي في إفريقيا بناءً على معطيات من منصة ورقات بحث في الاقتصاد. ويدرس إنتاجية الباحثين المنتسبين إلى المؤسسات الإفريقية، حيث أن بعضها غزير الإنتاج، بينما يظل المعدل الملاحظ على المستوى القاري أقل من المعايير الدولية. ونتيجة لذلك، لا تزال مساهمة إفريقيا في البحوث الاقتصادية العالمية متواضعة على الرغم من التحديات الاقتصادية الكبيرة التي تواجهها القارة. ثم تتناول الورقة مواضيع البحث الغالبة من خلال تحليل شفرات دراسات اقتصادية جديدة ومجلة الأدبيات الاقتصادية، بالإضافة إلى فحص العناوين والكلمات الرئيسية المرتبطة بالمنشورات. ويكشف أن الباحثين الاقتصاديين في إفريقيا لديهم أولويات بحثية متباينة وفقاً لانتماءاتهم المؤسساتية، فالبعض منهم يركز على القضايا الإفريقية، بينما يركز البعض الآخر على الموضوعات ذات الأهمية العالمية.

    La généralisation de la protection sociale est une réforme sociétale très louable et constitue un pilier fondamental de l'État social au Maroc, ainsi qu'un levier essentiel pour améliorer le fonctionnement de l'État providence. Une des grandes forces de cette initiative réside dans la prise de conscience collective et l'engagement ferme des autorités publiques que nous observons aujourd'hui, en vue d'étendre la protection sociale à tous les citoyens pour promouvoir une i ...

    Carbon trading have long been touted as a silver bullet to channelise climate finance to African countries lacking the capital to support climate mitigation and adaptation efforts.

    As the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) enters its fifth year, the rules of origin for trade in goods are still being finalised, but the institutional architecture is nearly complete with increased capacity, technical committees and new supporting instruments.
