Impact of the Road-Rail Bridge on African Integration

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: The aim of this study is to analyse the impact of the Road-Rail Bridge (RRP) project on the Tripoli-Windhoek (Cape Town) corridor and African integration over the period 1980-2020. It uses a macroeconomic approach to achieve its objective, based on a gravity model with the panel of Tripoli-Windhoek corridor countries. The results obtained from the econometric modelling (gravity model) show a positive and significant effect of the road-rail bridge (RRP) on exports from the countries of the Tripoli-Windhoek corridor. The road-rail bridge therefore has a positive impact on the Tripoli-Windhoek corridor and integration in Africa.
