    We develop an interregional computable general equilibrium model to help assess the ex ante impact of transportation infrastructure policies in Egypt. The model is integrated with a GIS network. We illustrate the analytical capabilities of the model by looking at the domestic integration of the country. Improvements of transportation costs among Egyptian governorates and of their links to the broader world economy are considered in stylized simulations. The results provide quantitat ...

    Morocco’s 2014- 2020 Industrial Strategy and its potential implications for the structural transformation process

    Morocco is now more than ever threatened by the trap of middle-income economies. On one hand, it is caught between increased competition from low-income countries in low productivity and labor-intensive sectors and, on the other hand, the difficulty of accelerating its pace of structural transformation towards activities with higher value added and higher technological content. International experience shows that few countries have managed to climb to the status of an advanced econo ...

    In December 2015, a new international climate agreement was adopted, paving the way for increased mitigation and adaptation efforts. Governments firmly expressed the need for rapid action and 2016 will put the credibility of their commitments to the test. Climate policies are actually becoming more widespread, but they are also adjusting to local constraints and needs, suggesting that the establishment of a global emission regulation model is unlikely in the near future. While the l ...

    Mobilité interne et migration : état des lieux et impacts socio-securitaires
    Authors
    Abdelhak Bassou
    October 10, 2016
    Les personnes sont certes libres de choisir les lieux de leurs séjours dans le pays où ils résident, ce mouvement interne n’est pourtant pas sans impacts sur les politiques de l’Etat et sur ses stratégies. Les différences de peuplement sont à l’origine des disparités interrégionales qui à leur tour agissent sur la mobilité. Le dépeuplement de certaines régions peut les transformer en zones grises et incontrôlées, créant par là même des soucis sécuritaires et de défense. Si l’Etat n ...

    Le sommet de l’OTAN à Varsovie : clair-obscur du retour à l’endiguement

    October 7, 2016
    La réunion des chefs d’État et de gouvernement des pays de l’OTAN à Varsovie constitue une étape importante de la transformation structurelle et fonctionnelle de l’Alliance atlantique et de l’OTAN. Le Communiqué final et les trois déclarations confirment le retour progressif à l’endiguement, à travers le renforcement de la dissuasion et la défense de l’Alliance, et la mise à distance de la menace asymétrique et hybride. Cette dynamique contribue à la centralité de la défense collect ...
  • Brazil Needs an Honest Waste Loss

    Brazil has been suffering from anemic productivity growth. This is a major challenge because in the long run, sustained productivity increases are necessary to underpin inclusive economic growth. Without them, increases in real labor earnings tend to conflict with global competitiveness; collecting taxes in order to fund government expenditures on infrastructure and social policies becomes a heavy burden; returns to private investment becomes harder to achieve; and ultimately citize ...

    September 29, 2016
    L’objectif de ce travail est d’aborder la problématique de la transformation structurelle à travers une analyse par le concept de la complexité économique de Hausmann et Hidalgo, en se focalisant davantage sur les pays à revenu intermédiaire. Dans un premier temps, des régressions en données de panel utilisant la méthode des GMM en système, afin d’éviter les problèmes d’endogeneité, ont permis de mettre en évidence un lien empirique positif et significatif entre la complexité économ ...

    On July 15, Turkey’s tumultuous 2016 took a shocking twist as elements within the country’s military attempted a coup against the government of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. The putsch rapidly snapped at the seams, and a night that began with soldiers blocking bridges yielded a morning with those same soldiers flogged by civilians in the street. In the days following the attempt, Erdogan declared a three-month state of emergency and began purges of depth and breadth that extended ...
