Le Rôle des Exportations dans le Processus de Croissance Economique de la Côte d’Ivoire: Ses Implications pour des Stratégies de Création d’Emplois Durables

Abstract

Re´sume´: La pre´sente e´tude avait pour objectif d'analyser la relation de causalite´au sens de Granger entre l'expansion des exportations et la croissance e´conomique de la Coˆte d'Ivoire et de de´terminer ses implications en matie`re de cre´ation d'emplois. Cette analyse s'est faite sur la base des tests de stationnarite´, de cointe´gration et de causalite´a`la Granger. Il ressort des re´sultats de l'e´tude que malgre´l'absence de cointe´gration entre les exportations et la croissance e´conomique, il existe une relation circulaire entre elles. En outre, il n'y a pas de cointe´gration entre le facteur travail, les exportations, les de´penses publiques et la croissance e´conomique.Abstract: The objective of the present paper was to investigate Granger causality between export expansion and economic growth and draw implications for sustainable job creation strategies. Several statistical tests were undertaken (unit root, cointegration and Granger causality). The results suggest that despite the absence of cointegration between export and economic growth, there is a feedback relationship between export and economic growth. Moreover, the results also indicate no cointegration between the labour variable and export, public expenditures and economic growth variables.

An Empirical Analysis of the Link between Economic Growth and Exports in Côte d’Ivoire

“…This result suggests that there exists a long-run relationship between GDP and exports in Côte d'Ivoire and exports can be treated as "long-run forcing" variable for the explanation of GDP, which implies that there is a long term unidirectional causality that goes from exports to GDP. This result is contrary to that of N'Zué (2003), but it goes in the same direction as that of Al Mamun and Nath (2005). Note.…”

Effect of Agricultural and Non-Agricultural Exports on Economic Growth in Ivory Coast

“…Similarly , Jlidi (1996), in his study on exports, imports and economic growth, shows, after decomposing total exports into manufacturing exports on the one hand and raw materials on the other, that the first type of exports (manufacturing products) generates more externalities than the second. One of the probable explanations for the difference between the externalities generated by each type of export may be the fierce competition on the world market for finished goods.…”
