Abstract
Abstract. The aim of this research paper is to analyze the key factors that influence the export flows between Tunisia and sub-Saharan African countries. The study focuses on the impact of five institutional measures, namely government effectiveness, regulatory quality, control of corruption, rule of law, and political stability, on Tunisia's total export volume to these countries. We employ an augmented gravity equation and use the Poisson Pseudo-Maximum Likelihood approach to estimate the model using annual bilateral exports data between Tunisia and 42 sub-Saharan African countries. After carrying out various sensibility analysis, the paper finds that government effectiveness, regulatory quality, and the rule of law are the major obstacles to trade between Tunisia and its SSA partners.
