Contribution of Infrastructure to Economic Growth in Africa

发布时间：2021-06-08 11:13

　　非洲是一个拥有许多资源的大陆,但与其他大陆相比,发展落后。非洲发展的希望面临诸多挑战。非洲政府已经采取了一些措施,努力发展和使他们的国家摆脱贫困,提高经济。发展农村部门（农业部门）和使更多的人摆脱绝对贫困是大多数国家的首要目标之一。另一个目标是将这些国家从农业主导经济转变为工业主导经济体。为了达到这些目标,必须有许多先决条件。由于文化差异、全球化和历史差异,这些先决条件可能不同于其他发达国家在经济转型时期需要的。实现工业革命的一个重要先决条件是基础设施在不同地点之间移动资源、劳动力和终端产品的实效性。从经验上看,很明显,如果产业绩效超过基础设施承载产业的能力,就会对经济产生困境,这将对社会产生负面影响。许多非洲国家的基础设施很差。研究问题背后的故事解释了非洲经济是新兴经济体,在大多数情况下,它们缺乏必要的基础设施,如全天候道路。这是经济增长的瓶颈。在分析这一问题的过程中,本文共分为六章,即绪论、背景和研究问题、文献综述、基础设施的作用和理论框架、实证分析和结论。本文探讨非洲转型过程中存在的差距和应该采取的措施。研究发现,基础设施在经济增长中起着非常重要的作用,因为它在发展模式中起着非常...
