Croissance agricole, transformation locale des ressources naturelles et industrialisation au Togo

KPEMOUA, Palakiyèm (2016): Croissance agricole, transformation locale des ressources naturelles et industrialisation au Togo.

Abstract

This article aims to test empirically the relationship between agricultural growth, local natural resources transformation and the industrialization in Togo. The methodological approach is based on autoregressive distributed lag suggested by Mohammad H. Pesaran and al. (2001), using cointegration techniques. The data cover the period 1976 – 2014. The empirical results show a positive and significant correlation in the long-run between agricultural growth, the part of the value added of the industrial production due to local natural resources transformation by agriculture value added and the interaction between local natural resources transformation on the value added of the industry.
