Abstract

Cet article a pour objectif d'étudier les effets de l'imperfection du marché du crédit sur la convergence des pays de la zone CFA vers la frontière de croissance mondiale. Afin de mettre l'accent sur le fait qu'un marché du crédit moins performant constitue une contrainte qui empêche ces pays de profiter pleinement du transfert de technologie et les pousse à s'écarter de la frontière de croissance, nous avons utilisé un modèle de croissance Schumpetérien avec transfert de technologie tel que développé par Aghion et al (2005). L'analyse empirique basée sur l'approche « System GMM » en panel dynamique révèle que les pays de la Zone CFA ayant un niveau de crédit privé inferieur à 8% du PIB divergent de la frontière de croissance représentée par la France. Par ailleurs, lorsque l'on considère les Etats-Unis comme le pays définissant la frontière de croissance, on constate qu'un bas niveau de développement financier peut ralentir considérablement la vitesse de convergence, mais n'empêche cependant pas ces pays de converger.
