    This paper focuses on a proposed development corridor in Egypt, a main component of which is a desert-based expansion of the current highway network. The main beneficial features of this proposed transport investment are travel time reductions and improved accessibility. We use a spatial computable general equilibrium (SCGE) model to estimate the economic impacts of changes in transportation costs from this new roadway. To effect this, we integrate the model with a stylized geo-code ...

    Les fonds souverains africains sont pour certains d’entre eux des fonds anciens, comme le Pula Fund du Botswana créé en 1994, d’autres fonds vont suivre, dont les plus importants en actifs sous gestion sont les fonds algériens et libyens. Et si la majeure partie d’entre eux, huit sur les onze analysés ici, sont financés par des recettes provenant d’hydrocarbures, tel n’est pas le cas du fonds botswanais (diamant), du fonds sénégalais (actifs transférés de l’état) et du der ...

    After a strong rising tide starting in the 1990s, financial globalization seems to have reached a plateau since the global financial crisis. However, that apparent stability has taken place along a deep reshaping of cross-border financial flows, featuring de-banking and an increasing weight of non-banking financial cross-border transactions. Sources of potential instability and long-term funding challenges have morphed accordingly.      Financial globalization is morphing after its ...

First, it provides a set of employment-GDP elasticities for a sample of emerging and developing economies, including 11 sub-Saharan countries, based on the GGDC 10-sectors database. Second, it assesses the extent to which manufacturing activities are inclusive compared to the rest of the economy, in terms of employment creation. Third, it explores the determinants of c ...

    Dual transitions are under way in Cuba. The island is slowly opening its economy, and a new crop of younger political leaders, potentially more open to democratic norms, waits in the wings. A third transition, the rise of digital access, is also in an early stage. But it is this third transition that arguably has the most momentum and could significantly accelerate the first two. Cuba’s digital transition has largely been bottom up. The citizenry’s curiosity and ingenuity have push ...

    Endowed with half of the world’s known oil and gas reserves, the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region became – particularly during the second half of the twentieth century – a cornerstone of the global energy architecture (Yergin, 1991, 2011; Maugeri, 2006). This architecture is currently undergoing a structural transformation, prompted by two different forces: decarbonisation policies and technological developments. The adoption and quick entry into force of the Paris Agreem ...

    Les dynamiques économiques, politiques et géostratégiques actuelles, centrées sur les grands ensembles régionaux, annoncent une reconfiguration de l'ordre international dans lequel l'Afrique est appelée à jouer un rôle important et ce, à travers sa principale institution continentale qui est l'Union africaine (UA). Erigée de plus en plus comme l'interlocutrice du continent vis-à vis des partenaires étrangers, l'UA reste confrontée à des problèmes de dépendance, de gouvernance et de ...
