    During his run for President of the United States, Mr. Trump called the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), “the worst trade deal ever approved by this country”. His target is Mexico, which runs a $ 50 billion surplus of trade in goods and services with the United States. Trade with Canada, the third NAFTA party, is essentially balanced. However, NAFTA’s provisions cannot be changed without affecting Canada and without Canada’s consent, and the Foreign Ministers of Canada a ...

    March 6, 2017
    La grande question qui interpelle les Africains, dans le domaine de la sauvegarde de la Paix et de la sécurité, reste celle de savoir si l’organisation panafricaine qui ambitionne de mener le continent vers la paix et la prospérité auxquelles le prédisposent ses potentialités de ressources humaines et matérielles, peut assurer la réalisation de ces ambitions avec ses propres institutions ? Autrement dit l’Union Africaine peut-elle gérer les crises africaines avec des moyens africain ...

    March 6, 2017
    The big question for Africans on safeguarding peace and security is whether the Pan-African organization, which aspires to lead the continent towards peace and prosperity and to which the continent’s predisposed human and material resource potential, is able to ensure the fulfillment of these ambitions through its own institutions? In other words, can the African Union manage African crises with independent African means? This fundamental question calls for other more intermediate ...

    Les liens du Maroc avec l’Afrique à travers différentes composantes n’ont jamais été rompus. Point n’est besoin de montrer leur enracinement dans l’histoire profonde. Mais les récents développements constituent un événement marquant et sans doute lourd de signification. Est-ce un élément de déclic, une victoire qui conclut un épisode diplomatique parmi d’autres, une normalisation, la réponse à des difficultés conjoncturelles, un booster, un point d’inflexion, un événement majeur ? ...

However, the recent developments constitute a major event of important significance. Is it a turning point, a victory that concludes a diplomatic episode among others, a normalization, a response to cyclical difficulties, a booster, an inflection point, or a major event? ...

    Central banks of large advanced and many emerging market economies have recently gone through a period of extraordinary expansion of balance sheets and are all now possibly facing a transition to less abnormal times. However, the fact that one group is comprised by global reserve issuers and the other by bystanders receiving impacts of the former’s policies carries substantively different implications. Furthermore, using Brazil and the U.S. as examples, we also illustrate how the re ...

    This paper discusses the development of a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model with detailed specification for land use. The model considers two aspects of land use: land as a measure of production cost and land as a physical entity that can be used in a variety of ways. To analyze the economic effects of climate change, we integrated the CGE model and an econometric model. The results based on this model, which captures how land allocation responds to changes in temperature a ...

    Despite the sustained growth in the bilateral trade observed at the beginning of the Century, Moroccan – Brazilian economic relations are still going through what could be called the ‘shallow’ phase of relations between two middle-income countries. Trade is concentrated in a few products – those where both countries enjoy long lasting and natural comparative advantages – and face strong difficulties to diversify in terms of products and to upgrade towards more complex models of lin ...
