dc.description.abstractThe development of the African continent remains one of today's greatest economic challenges. Focusing on the apparel sector, this paper uses firm-level data from several Sub-Saharan African countries and from eight Latin American and Asian countries for comparative purposes to investigate the impact of the AGOA apparel provision on African apparel firms. The paper seeks three main objectives: (i) to investigate the importance of access to imports to African firms; (ii) to evaluate the statistical significance and magnitude of the export supply response to AGOA; and (iii) to determine the impact of AGOA's Rule of Origin requirement on the composition of African clothing exports.en_ZA
