What do we know about intra-African trade?
With this dashboard, I want to offer an easy-access theme-indexed compilation of the published papers on intra-African trade from the 1990s to the current day. I continuously monitor the economics literature, as well as adjacent disciplines for newly released papers. For select papers, I also provide short commentary notes.
