العولمة، التقارب و النمو الاقتصادي : دراسة حالة الدول النامية و المتقدمة باستعمال معطيات البانل خلال الفترة (1980-2018)‎

Abstract EN

The present study revolves around examining and evaluating the connection between globalization, convergence, and economic growth involving 17 countries.

Namely North African countries (Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, Egypt and Libya) as a sample of developing countries and 12 OECD countries, as a sample of developed countries: France, Italy, Germany, Canada, Belgium, Japan, United States of America, Netherlands, Denmark, Portugal, Sweden, and Norway during the period (1980-2018).

To test the extent of importance of globalization as a variable that contributes in the economic growth and probability of minimizing revenue dissimilarity among countries and realizing economic convergence process, we tested the conditional convergence hypothesis and the olute convergence hypothesis using the dynamic panel data analysis approach.

The results revealed that it's unworkable for olute convergence hypothesis consequently accepting conditional convergence hypothesis, and demonstrating that globalization does not work implicitly on approaching to the countries' economy in spite of being reviewed to be a driving force that facilitate the economic improvement.
