Abstract

L'espace européen souffre d'une intégration insuffisante des réseaux de transport et d'une congestion croissante, surtout dans le domaine routier. Cette publication fait le point sur ces problèmes et soulève, en particulier pour les régions périphériques et les pays d'Europe centrale et orientale, les questions de l'enclavement et de la nécessaire amélioration des réseaux. Face à ces problèmes, les réponses actuelles paraissent inadéquates. Les données statistiques et les outils d'analyse sont insuffisants, les approches nationales très diverses et les analyses et les concepts utilisés, assez rudimentaires, sont trop souvent sectoriels. Cette publication présente, pour 30 pays européens de la CEMT, une analyse homogène des infrastructures de transport intérieur, des investissements projetés et des principaux courants d'échange. Cette présentation comparative est une première réponse au manque d'information trop souvent constaté.

Abstract

Les routes créent-elles de la mobilité ? Une telle question est a priori surprenante. Pourtant, le fait que la présence de nouvelles routes -- ou infrastructures -- puisse inciter les usagers à les emprunter et, partant, à être plus mobiles, n'a rien de surprenant. Si la question continue de faire l'objet de débats animés, aucun expert ne doute plus de l'existence d'un phénomène de mobilité induite. En revanche, il s'avère difficile de mesurer ce phénomène, faute de données et d'expériences adéquates. Cette Table Ronde rassemble précisément les informations disponibles à ce jour sur la mobilité induite par de nouvelles infrastructures. A partir de rapports introductifs et des débats de la Table Ronde, on peut mesurer les progrès accomplis en quelques années. En effet, il y a dix ans à peine, le phénomène de la mobilité induite aurait été nié par beaucoup de spécialistes. Aujourd'hui, un consensus émerge, cette Table Ronde permet de le découvrir.

Abstract

This paper addresses whether parallel market exchange rates in Africa behave in the long run in a manner consistent with the purchasing power parity (PPP) hypothesis. A recent econometric method, the panel co-integration test, enables us to examine the long-run PPP hypothesis by pooling the time-series data of several countries. This approach is particularly useful when analyzing African countries, which often do not have long time series. Using pooled data for 16 African countries, the study concludes that the behavior of parallel market exchange rates in Africa is consistent with the long-run PPP hypothesis.

Abstract

The preponderance of evidence from the empirical literature on aid effectiveness suggests that development aid has not had a significant impact on growth in recipient countries. However, there is some evidence that aid has had positive effects when the policy environment has been conducive to growth. Regarding the relationship between aid and the main channels through which its impact on growth could flow—investment and domestic saving—the evidence is mixed, with some indication that aid has had a positive impact where adjustment efforts have been sustained.

Abstract

This paper estimates an empirical model for investment in the West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU), a region with relatively low investment shares, using annual data for the period 1970-95. Cross-country and time-series evidence shows that openness to international trade, competition in the domestic market, freedom of international capital transactions, and low dependency ratios are positively correlated with investment in the WAEMU region.

Abstract

In a case study of Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Uganda, this paper finds that bilateral real exchange rates revert to a long-term equilibrium in line with purchasing power parities, implying that these countries constitute an integrated trading zone, their markets are interdependent and arbitrage works efficiently, and intraregional competitiveness is preserved. These findings are partly explained by the flexibility of nominal exchange rates and prices and the absence of long-term productivity differences among these countries. To strengthen market integration, foster private sector development, and enhance growth prospects, the paper emphasizes the importance of increased trade, competitive labor markets, flexible exchange rates, and convergence of macroeconomic and structural policies.
