The Belt and Road Initiative aims to increase China ́s integration with the world economy
through infrastructure projects and investment. We want to assess whether the Belt and Road
Initiative (BRI) has contributed to increase Chinese trade with Sub-Saharan Africa. While the
literature has covered the trade effects of the BRI, most of the studies try to measure the gains
of trade derived from decreased transportation costs. While this remains as one of the most
important features of the BRI, we wanted to measure how countries receiving BRI related
investments trade with China. To achieve this goal, we built a Gravity model of trade for Chinese
exports to 16 Sub-Saharan countries. If BRI investments are effective, China should trade more
with these countries. [--]
