This is a book on international trade and economic growth in West Africa. The importance of this research cannot be doubted since it contributes to an area of study that has been scantily visited by scholars. The study provided a specific cross-country analysis of the impact of international trade on economic growth in all the ECOWAS member states. It would widen the knowledge of interested participants at the international market and the generality of the people of the ECOWAS member states in terms of recent developments and main growth effects in the region. The study is important to macro-economists, ECOWAS officials, financial experts, public policy makers and Central Bank officials of the individual ECOWAS member states in understanding the responsiveness of economic growth to international trade.
