Abstract:This paper analyses changes in the balance of trade of 33 sub-Saharan African countries for the period 1970-1985 by decomposing the balance of trade into three components: a terms of trade or relative price component, a volume component and a general price level component. Movements in the volume of trade were found to be considerably more influential in their effect upon the trade balance than were either movements in relative price level or the general price level.
