Relation éducation croissance économique au Maroc Long terme ou court terme?

bouoiyour, jamal (2000): Relation éducation croissance économique au Maroc Long terme ou court terme?

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to shed light on the relationship between education and growth in Morocco. Econometric tools (Granger-causality tests and cointegration) was used to evaluate the existence and direction of the relationship. The results show a significant short-term causality between education (proxied by enrollment rates in all three levels: primary, secondary and tertiary) and growth in both direction. However, no stable long-term could be found. This suggests that this relationship is indeed not mechanistic. Educational policies and functioning of the labor market explain this fact.
