Zusammenfassung:This paper examines the impact of the economies of Kenya, Mauritius, Tanzania, and Zambia of a programme intended to enhance the economic growth of developing nations, the United States Generalized System of Preferences (US GSP). Economists and African political leaders have both argued that an expansion of nontraditional exports from the African countries is necessary if they are to make significant strides in economic development. A continuation of the granting of trade preferences for exports from African countries is viewed as an essential factor in the achievement of this goal. The aim here is to determine whether or not the evidence is consistent with the hypothesis that the US GSP programme has been a positive influence on nontraditional exports from sub-Saharan African countries. The study covers the period 1967-1987. The statistical results suggest that the beneficial effencts on this programme have been minimal in the past with respect to these countries.
