This paper aims at proving empirically the superiority of an explanation for recent financial crises in emerging countries which combines endogenous and exogenous factors rather than focusing only on one of these two kinds of factors. To this end, we built our empirical analysis on estimations...

Dans ce papier, nous testons la présence de la contagion durant la crise financière asiatique. A cet effet, nous proposons une nouvelle procédure qui consiste à tester la non-linéarité des mécanismes de propagation des chocs estimés à travers un modèle d'interdépendance de long terme....

The agreement recently signed between Morocco and the United States foresees several modalities in dismantling tariffs. Our simulations show that the various modalities of trade liberalization may have different impacts on the welfare, the rate of growth and the sectoral trade balance of these...

Despite its important contributions to economic thought, namely in the field of spatial economics and economics of development, François Perroux, one of the most important French economists of the 20st century, remains today poorly appreciated and frequently unrecognized. This paper tends to...
