Abstract

The aim of this paper is to test for franc zone the hypothesis that public expenditures in education can act negatively on political instability, and by way, can be positively correlated with economic growth, even on the short run. To do so, a rebellion model is estimated econometrically and introduced in a computable general equilibrium model (CGE) calibrated for franc zone.
