英文文献：Building Knowledge Economies in Africa: An Introduction-建立非洲的知识经济:导论
英文文献作者：Simplice A. Asongu,John Kuada
英文文献摘要：
Knowledge has emerged as a fundamental driver of economic growth and development by inter alia improving the effectiveness and efficiency of economic projects and boosting the process of finding new avenues of addressing developmental policy syndromes. Recent evidence suggests that Africa is on the threshold of significant and sustainable economic growth if its human and material resources can be effectively mobilised to support the process (Kuada & Mensah, 2017; Asongu & Tchamyou, 2019). Consequently, the World Bank???s Knowledge Economy Framework aims to explore and support the extent to which current policies in African countries affect the knowledge development process (and thereby competitiveness) on the continent. A knowledge economy is an economy in which economic prosperity largely depends on the accessibility, quality and quantity of information available, instead of the means of production (Asongu, 2017a, 2017b). This themed issue of Contemporary Social Science-???Building Knowledge Economies in Africa??? - consists of papers that focus on, but are not limited to, the four dimensions of the World Bank???s Knowledge Economy Index. These are: information and communication technology, education, economic incentives and institutional regime, and innovation (Tchamyou, 2017). The themed issue engages with high quality contributions which, taken together, address the drivers towards knowledge-based economies. This introduction provides a context for understanding the importance of building knowledge economies in Africa and summarises the main contributions to the themed issue. The paper ends by advising scholars and policy makers regarding the risks associated with a colonial view of knowledge- notably the importance of proposing knowledge-based policies while avoiding hegemonic paradigms and hierarchical constructs. In summary, the issue consists of a set of theoretically informed, empirically robust, policy-relevant and accessible articles for both specialists and non-specialists.
知识已成为经济增长和发展的基本动力，特别是通过提高经济项目的效力和效率，以及推动寻找解决发展政策综合问题的新途径的进程。最近的证据表明，如果非洲的人力和物质资源能够有效地调动起来支持这一进程，那么非洲正处于显著和可持续的经济增长的门槛上(Kuada & Mensah, 2017;Asongu & Tchamyou, 2019)。因此，世界银行知识经济框架旨在探索和支持非洲国家现行政策在多大程度上影响非洲大陆的知识发展进程(从而影响竞争力)。知识经济是一种经济，在这种经济中，经济的繁荣很大程度上取决于可用信息的可获得性、质量和数量，而不是生产资料(Asongu, 2017a, 2017b)。这个主题问题的当代社会公民的??建设知识经济Africaa??——由论文的关注,但不限于,四维世界的河岸??s知识经济指数。它们是:信息和通信技术、教育、经济激励和体制机制，以及创新(Tchamyou, 2017)。主题问题涉及高质量的贡献，综合起来，解决知识经济的驱动因素。本导言为理解在非洲建立知识经济的重要性提供了一个背景，并总结了对主题问题的主要贡献。本文最后建议学者和政策制定者关于知识的殖民观的风险-特别是提出基于知识的政策，同时避免霸权范式和等级结构的重要性。总而言之，这个问题由一组专家和非专家都可以阅读的理论信息、经验稳健、政策相关和可访问的文章组成。
