آليات تقارب اقتصاديات الدول النامية في ظل العولمة : دراسة حالة مجموعة من الدول العربية باستعمال معطيات البانل خلال الفترة 1980-2018

Abstract EN

The aim of this study is to determine the mechanisms of economic convergence of developing countries in light of the changes imposed by globalization.

By applying to five Arab countries, including (Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, libya and Egypt), they represent a sample of developing countries during the period (1980-2018), using the Dynamic Panel Data Models, by applying the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM).

to achieve the purpose of the study we tested the olute convergence and conditional convergence through the effects of the rate of trade openness and the rate of foreign direct investment, which are considered one of the most important measures of globalization among the sample countries.

The results revealed that it's unworkable for olute convergence hypothesis consequently accepting conditional convergence hypothesis in the sample of countries, As for the mechanisms of economic convergence, they were represented in: population growth rate, physical capital, human capital and government spending rate.

However, in terms of globalization, the rate of foreign direct investment did not become conditional, and the rate of trade openness was significatif but it's not enough for economic convergence.
