This paper investigates the impact of Chinese development projects on the change of land covering in the African continent over the years 2000-2017 by means of a new gridded dataset. The geo-referenced panel dataset matches information on Chinese development projects with satellite data on the evolution of land surface. The econometric analysis shows that Chinese development projects have played a significant role in the transformation of the African land covering, and that the Chinese intervention in Africa has had a significant impact on the transition of land covering from natural to artificial surfaces.

Abstract
This paper investigates the impact of Chinese development projects on the change of land covering in the African continent over the years 2000-2017 by means of a new gridded dataset. The geo-referenced panel dataset matches information on Chinese development projects with satellite data on the evolution of land surface. The econometric analysis shows that Chinese development projects have played a significant role in the transformation of the African land covering, and that the Chinese intervention in Africa has had a significant impact on the transition of land covering from natural to artificial surfaces.
