FDI and Economic Growth in Côte d’Ivoire: An Empirical Analysis Based on the Service Sector

“…It is therefore important for Côte d'Ivoire set up mechanisms enabling the country to mobilize sufficient domestic savings to soundly finance the growth of its service sector. Savings play a very important role in any development process, whether urban or rural (Abdelkhalek et al, 2012), and the financing of healthy, sustainable economic growth depends on the mobilization of substantial domestic savings (Aglietta, 1991).…”

Poverty, income distribution and CGE micro-simulation modeling: Does the functional form of distribution matter?

“…This more complex model seems to reflect more appropriately the impact of economic fluctuations. As regards displaced lognormal, a generalization of the lognormal distribution, most of the literature available focuses on the difficulties linked to the estimation of its parameters and less on its fitting characteristics although Abdelkhalek and Chaoubi [2] state that the displaced lognormal, lognormal and Champernowne had similar fitting properties.…”

“…The main drawback of this approach is that it does not always fully take into account the feedback effect of the household behavior being modeled in the micro-simulation module and there is no guarantee that the hypothetical behaviors of the household model are compatible with the hypotheses of the CGE model. 2 To avoid this problem, Savard [55] proposed the CGE top down-bottom up approach, which was later applied by Aaberge et al [1], de Souza Ferreira Filho and Horridge [30], and Savard [56]. This approach draws from the CGE-MSS approach, but links the two modules (CGE and household micro-simulation) by incorporating the results of the CGE module into the household module.…”

“…See for example Kirman[39] for an exhaustive discussion 2. For example the decision to participate or not in the labor market (voluntary unemployment) could be introduced in the household model even if the CGE model is a full employment model.…”
