A case of the Dutch disease: made in China?

My thesis uses a panel data fixed effects approach to analyse the effect of exporting commodities to China by two groups, namely total exporting countries and Sub-Saharan African countries, between 1996 to 2014. Four hypotheses are tested for evidence of: 1. The resource movement effect, 2. The spending effect, 3. a slowdown in economic growth, and 4. a correlation between less democratic countries exporting commodities to China, and worsening Dutch disease symptoms. Hypothesis 1 was rejected for Sub-Saharan African countries, i.e. there is no resource movement effect. I was unable to reject Hypothesis 2 for Sub-Saharan African countries and there is evidence of the spending effect. Hypothesis 3 was rejected as the results did not significantly differ from zero for either group, which was also the result for Hypothesis 4.
