Estimation of the Impact of Monetary Policy on Economic Growth: The Case of Cote d’Ivoire in Line with SVAR Methodology

This paper investigates the impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows on economic growth in Cote D’Ivoire during the 1975-2011 period. The selection of this African nation is motivated by the rapid inflows it has experienced over the past decade. Using unit root and cointegration analysis, the resulting error correction model (ECM) suggests that gross fixed capital formation (GFCF) has a short-run positive impact on economic growth, while FDI, the repatriation of net income abroad, and periods involving structural breaks, have a negative effect on economic growth in Cote D’Ivoire. In addition, the negative error correction term indicates that deviations from long-run per capita growth during the current year are corrected relatively quickly in the following year, ceteris paribus. The unexpected negative effect of FDI on economic growth may be due to the significant repatriation of profits and dividends the country has experienced in recent years.

The Impact

This paper assesses human capital development policies and their impact on economic growth and households’ well-being in Côte d'Ivoire. A dynamic computable general equilibrium model was used to measure the impact of public spending on education and health policies as predicted by the government and then the effects of a larger increase of those spending on economic growth and household welfare in Côte d'Ivoire. The simulations results show that public spending in education and health has positive impacts on education and health demands, on the improvement of labor’s factor quality and on the productive capacities of poor and vulnerable households. The results also show that there is a positive correlation between public expenditures on education and health, economic growth and welfare in Côte d'Ivoire.

The Impact

There is a lack of consensus on the impact that population growth has on economic growth, even though this issue continues to be of utmost importance for policymaking, particularly in developing economies. This paper examines the causality between population growth and economic growth in Africa, using Johansen and Granger-causality models. Our results show that the variables are cointegrated, implying the existence of a long run relationship in Nigeria but not in Cote d’Ivoire. We also found a negative, long run causal relationship between the two variables in Nigeria: population growth negatively affects economic growth in the long term. In Cote d’Ivoire, our results show that population growth causes economic growth in the short run.

The Impact

Abstract Writing about Zophopetes cerymica (which they considered more common) and P. laufella combined, Mariau and Morin (1974) state that attacks can be on palms of all ages, including young palms recently planted out. At this age, defoliation of the plants delays their subsequent development. Outbreaks on older trees are rarer, and the damage often less important; these attacks are generally localized at the edge of plantations. Mariau et al. (1981) add that the highest fronds are the most often damaged. Herder et al. (1994) refer to regular outbreaks of P. laufella on oil palm in southern Côte d'Ivoire. There are no more substantive reports on the impact of the feeding damage by these hesperiids.
