| Summary, etc. | Une nouvelle dimension du commerce international est apparue depuis ces dernières décennies avec l’essor du commerce Sud-Sud mené par la Chine. L’intérêt grandissant et réciproque entre la Chine et l’Afrique est l’une des principales caractéristiques de ce phénomène dans l’économie mondiale. Ce papier cherche donc à explorer les déterminants du commerce bilatéral entre l’Afrique sub-saharienne (ASS) et la Chine tout en portant une attention particulière au rôle des institutions africaines. Pour ce faire, nous appliquons un modèle de gravité structurel fondé théoriquement et robuste à partir d’un échantillon monde couvrant la période 1996-2012. Nous avons construit des variables d’interaction afin d’étudier comment le commerce sino-africain est influencé par la dimension institutionnelle des pays africains qui est mesurée à la fois par le type de régime politique et la qualité de la gouvernance. Les principaux résultats indiquent qu’un régime démocratique en ASS encourage la hausse des flux commerciaux bilatéraux entre l’ASS et la Chine tandis que l’amélioration du contrôle de la corruption en ASS tend à les détériorer. De manière générale, la qualité institutionnelle en ASS (sauf pour le contrôle de la corruption) est un facteur important dans l’explication du développement des exportations de la Chine vers l’ASS, contrairement aux exportations africaines vers la Chine. |

| Summary, etc. | A new dimension of international trade has appeared in past decades with the awakening of South-South trade, mainly driven by China. The so-called “Chinese move into Africa” phenomenon is one of the main characteristics of this economic mutation. This paper aims at exploring the determinants of the upsurge of bilateral trade between sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and China but with a special focus on the role of institutions. To this regard, we applied a theoretically consistent structural gravity model to a worldwide database covering the period 1996-2012. We built specific interaction variables to study how the sino-African trade is influenced by the institutional channel of African countries both measured by the political regime and the governance quality. The main results indicate that in the context of China-SSA trade flows, a democratic regime is pro-trade but surprisingly an improvement in control of corruption leads to deteriorate trade. More generally, institutional quality (except for control of corruption) is important to boost Chinese exports to SSA but does not seem to be a necessary requirement for African exports to China. Accordingly, in the extent that institutional reforms take time to operate, trading with China could be an interesting medium-run opportunity for SSA to pursue its growth and development process.
