Abstract

In this article, we use recently developed panel causality and cointegration techniques to examine the long-run relationship between inflation and economic growth of the 8 WAEMU countries. A panel of 256 observations was therefore constituted from the IMF (WDI) and BCEAO database. Our results highlight a unidirectional causality between inflation and economic growth and support the view that public spending controls can reduce inflation. Economic growth is the main channel through which economic policy can influence inflation. Furthermore, improving the quality of the workforce can further strengthen economic growth.
