Le Laboratoire d’Economie Appliquée ( LEA) de la Faculté des Sciences Juridiques Economiques et Sociales Rabat - AGDAL en partenariat avec le Policy Center for the New South, a le plaisir de vous inviter à participer à la table ronde organisée sous le thème «Les politiques économiques de relance Post Covid-19 : Regards croisés », qui se tiendra le vendredi 12 juin 2020 à 18h00 (Heure de Rabat). Les politiques économiques de gestion de la crise issue du covid-19 sont en rupture avec les pratiques antérieures. Elles sont audacieuses et révèlent au grand jour la capacité des pays, quand ils mettent en stand-by les prêts à penser- orthodoxes-, à gérer des chocs extrêmes. Il s’agit maintenant d’examiner la capacité des politiques économiques de relance post Covid-19 à l’échelle internationale et au Maroc, de saisir cet effet de révélation, de le traduire en stratégies innovantes à même de reconstruire un Maroc social inclusif et durable.

    Bien que l’IGAD (Autorité intergouvernementale pour le Développement) ayant initialement été conçue pour un mandat restreint de promotion de la coordination des approches nationales en matière de développement, pour atténuer l’impact de la sècheresse et de la désertification, les questions de paix et de sécurité ont finalement été intégrées comme piliers de l’Institution au nom de l’impact bénéfique de la stabilité et de la sécurité sur le développement des pays de la région.

    The maxim that in adversity we find unity has never truly materialized following the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). Despite fighting a common enemy, individual societies have turned inwards, moved by a self-preservation instinct that prioritizes individual over collective well-being. Outbursts and demonstrations of solidarity have punctuated national and international responses to COVID-19, but the virus has also often exacerbated structural inequalities, reopening ol ...

    This article was originally published on Bruegel  A recovery from the COVID-19 recession is underway though the suffering is far from over, especially for the most vulnerable. Inequality is both a consequence of the pandemic and a cause of its severity. Many countries need comprehensive policy change to address its worst effects. At the end of a tragic year marked by pandemic and increased poverty, the miraculously rapid arrival of vaccines stirs great hope. The COVID-19 ...

    After reaching a peak against other currencies in March this year, the dollar fell by almost 15% until the beginning of December. According to Bloomberg, asset portfolio managers have been assuming "short" positions against the dollar, that is, betting on its fall ahead. The dollar is expected to devalue against the euro, the yen, and the Chinese RMB in 2021. The peak last March, during the coronavirus financial shock, reflected the search for a safe haven in short-t ...

    We estimate the contents of services value-added incorporated in goods exports in different countries in Latin America, exploring the local dimension of the results. We use inter-regional input–output analysis to trace and map domestic value-added embedded in those countries' exports. We add to the discussion of global value chains the internal, within-country geography of trade in value-added, since the set of locational preferences that help understanding the spatial patterns of n ...

    Brazil is one of the countries hardest hit by COVID-19. Apart from the dramatic health implications, COVID-19 will also scar the Brazilian economy, including through a jump in its already high public-sector debt-to-GDP ratio in 2020. Moving forward—or not—with structural reforms aimed at lifting private investment will define whether a sustainableor unsustainable—growth-cum-debt trajectory will prevail in the next decade. The extent to which Brazil regains its attractiveness for for ...

    The COVID-19 pandemic has hit the Moroccan economy hard, as elsewhere in the world. A collapse in external demand and a lockdown lasting more than three months have profoundly altered economic activity in Morocco, causing its first recession since 1995. The implementation of the confinement and social distancing measures was strict and came two weeks after the detection of the first cases of COVID-19 in Morocco on March 2, 2020. The lockdown was extended three times and lasted aroun ...

    L’économie marocaine fait face à une année 2020 extrêmement difficile et complexe. La crise provoquée par le choc de la Covid-19 est singulière, multicanale et fondamentalement différente des crises précédentes. Elle altère le système productif par un double choc d’offre et de demande, amplifié, de passage, par une crise de confiance. Alors que l’année 2020 touche à sa fin, il est crucial de dresser une première évaluation circonstanciée des ramifications de cette crise, qui permett ...

    This paper explores the use of simulations in policy decision-making in the Brazilian State of São Paulo in fighting the COVID-19 pandemic. We propose a methodology for assessing the daily economic costs of control strategies for mitigating the effects of coronavirus. The method is based on the partial hypothetical extraction approach to input–output systems. Simulated daily scenarios based on different levels of compliance to the control measures are used to help guide the design o ...
