Abstract

L’article propose dans un premier temps une estimation sur la période 2012-2019 des multiplicateurs de revenu-demande finale des investissements publics pour les différentes régions marocaines, à partir d’un système d’équations mobilisant des données de panel spatio-temporel et tenant compte des interactions régionales. Les estimations font apparaître une forte hétérogénéité spatiale des multiplicateurs budgétaires locaux, révélant un effet non neutre de la localisation des investissements publics sur l’économie marocaine. Dans un second temps, l’article examine les déterminants de l’efficacité de l’investissement public régional afin de pouvoir saisir les effets multiplicateurs issus aussi bien des effets de demande en conjoncture que des gains de productivité induits.
