Abstract

Les cycles économiques des pays d’Afrique du Nord et du Moyen-Orient (MENA) sont-ils similaires ou non et quels sont les facteurs qui les con-ditionnent ? Notre méthode consiste à estimer plusieurs spécifications d’un modèle à facteurs dynamiques. Elle permet d'évaluer les poids respectifs des chocs idiosyncrasiques, des chocs communs et de la transmission des chocs spécifiques (effets "spillovers") dans l'explication des cycles économiques des MENA. Si l'on note un début de convergence au sein de cette région, les pays exportateurs de pétrole connaissent des cycles distincts des autres pays. Les épisodes de symétrie des MENA sont conduits par des facteurs extrarégionaux plus que par des interdépendances intra-régionales. La zone MENA est significativement affectée par les dynamiques économiques des grands pays industrialisés. En retour, le facteur spécifique à la zone MENA ne semble induire aucun effet significatif sur les pays du G7.
