Abstract

Advanced regionalization, a cornerstone of Morocco's new development model, raises the crucial question of disparities in regional fiscal capacities. This paper aims to test the hypothesis of absolute and conditional convergence of per capita tax revenues among the twelve regions of Morocco over the period 2010-2022. Using a dynamic panel model estimated by the System Generalized Method of Moments (GMM-SYS), we control for endogeneity biases and account for the persistence of fiscal capacities. Our results reject the hypothesis of absolute convergence, indicating a widening of interregional fiscal inequalities. However, conditional convergence is evidenced: initially less endowed regions progress faster, subject to certain structural conditions. The urbanization rate, the concentration of industrial and tourist activities, and the quality of infrastructure appear as significant determinants of the convergence dynamic. These results call for a more targeted fiscal and transfer policy to foster convergence and ensure territorial equity within the framework of decentralization.

Abstract

This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the theoretical frameworks and quantitative effects of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in developing economies, commonly referred to as the Global South. By integrating robust methodological approaches Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) analysis—this research examines the multi-faceted impact of FDI on economic growth, environmental sustainability, and energy consumption. The findings indicate a complex, non-linear relationship between FDI and key economic variables, often mediated by local institutions, absorptive capacities, and sectoral characteristics. The results confirm a U-shaped relationship between FDI and renewable energy consumption globally, where initial effects may be negative but turn positive over time as economies develop and integrate advanced technologies . Furthermore, the analysis reveals that the interaction between FDI and economic growth significantly affects renewable energy consumption, aligning with the trade-off theory and race-to-the-bottom hypothesis rather than the conservation hypothesis . For policymakers, this integrated analysis offers valuable insights for designing strategic policies that maximize FDI benefits while mitigating potential negative externalities, particularly in environmental domains where the pollution haven hypothesis remains a contested framework

Abstract

This study investigates whether Morocco’s soft power assets its (cultural religious, economic, and diplomatic influence) translate into tangible economic benefits in the form of increased bilateral trade with African partners. Using an augmented gravity model of trade estimated with Poisson Pseudo-Maximum Likelihood (PPML) for a panel of 45 African countries over the period 2010–2024, we quantify the impact of various soft power proxies on Morocco’s trade flows. The results indicate that soft-power instruments, particularly cultural diplomacy, religious ties, and active peacekeeping contributions, exert a statistically significant and economically meaningful positive effect on trade volumes, even after controlling for traditional gravity determinants such as GDP, distance, and colonial links. The findings suggest that Morocco’s deliberate soft-power strategy in Africa is not merely a political tool but also a viable economic diplomacy that can enhance regional trade integration. Policy implications include the continued investment in soft-power channels as a complement to traditional trade liberalization measures.
