| dc.description.abstract | This study explored the impact of an oil boom on agricultural exports based on the gravity model and panel data for 1995 to 2013. We found that oil rent plays a major role in cross-border trade between Cameroon and other Economic and Monetary Community of Central Africa (CEMAC) countries including Nigeria (which falls outside this grouping). Results also support the view that intra-trade has a strong potential for accelerating regional integration in Central Africa. Estimates also indicate that economic size, market size and common border seem to drive the cross-border trade | en_US |
