Abstract
- Using the Chinese Agriculture Technology Demonstration Center (ATDC) in Africa as a quasinatural experiment, we examine the causal impacts of China's aid on crop production in Africa. The data pertain to African country-by-crop panel data from 2000 to 2018. Leveraging the triple difference-in-differences method, we find that the ATDC leads to increased crop production and improved trade dependence. The positive effects are more pronounced for free-standing technical support and ATDCs operated by state-owned enterprises. Lastly, the ATDC has profound implications for local agriculture and rural development. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
