Although Botswana is Southern African Development Community (SADC’s) fourth largest economy, the number of peer-reviewed economic journal articles produced by the country are still low compared to other countries in the bloc and the African continent. These were the findings of the working paper by Obie Porteous, the Assistant Economics Professor at Middlebury College focusing on International Trade and Development Economics, with a focus on sub-Saharan Africa.
The working paper entitled “
Research Deserts and Oases: Evidence from 27 Thousand Economics Journal Articles” which reviewed all articles related to African countries published between 2000 and 2019 in peer-reviewed economics journals shows that Botswana still has “less overall research” per capita, and while SADC has made much progress and has seen an increase in the number of journal articles, economics research across the bloc is not evenly distributed.
