The relationship between openness to international trade and economic growth has been a subject of perennial controversy. This has paved the way for various theoretical and empirical investigations which has yielded inconclusive results, particularly in the case of developing countries. As a good case in point, the Moroccan economy has been subjected to a thorough analysis in order to determine and evaluate the impact of trade openness on economic growth covering the period from 1980 to 2019. To this end, the methodology adopted consists of a complementary approach of statistical and econometric tests using the ARDL bounds test of cointegration and the Toda-Yamamoto causality test. The results have shown that Morocco's openness to international trade positively impacts economic growth in the short term. Yet, it produces adverse effects in the long term, especially with the presence of bidirectional causal relationship between the two variables– i.e economic growth and international trade.
L’objectif du papier est de revoir la contribution de l’éducation dans le processus d’une croissance économique durable et performante. Sur le plan méthodologique, une exploration théorique sera avancée en premier lieu pour évaluer l’importance de l’éducation dans le développement des économies et en deuxième lieu, les spécificités du système d’éducation marocain vont être relativement analysées pour en dédier les forces et les faiblesses. En dépit des avancements notables, le système d’éducation marocain souffre encore aujourd’hui du manque de la qualité et des performances supposées acquises dans le processus de scolarisation et d’éducation malgré sa contribution à l’amélioration de la performance économique confirmée dans la phase théorique.
