Education investissements directs étrangers et croissance économique réflexions pour le maroc

Jellal, Mohamed and Bouzahzah, Mohamed (2012): Education investissements directs étrangers et croissance économique réflexions pour le maroc.

Abstract

We present an endogenous growth model with technological externalities emitted the presence of the foreign direct investments. We showed that the net positive impact on the growth of these investments may be if and only if the host country such as Morocco has reached a minimal level of human capital for the absorption and assimilation of advanced technologies. Our current work focuses on the empirical validity of these results for Morocco.
