Abstract

This paper analyzes the dynamic interactions between income growth, inflation, and unemployment in Morocco over the period 1990–2025. Income growth is modeled as a stochastic process exhibiting both short-term persistence and potential long-memory effects, captured via an ARFIMA(p, d, q) specification. The estimated income growth series is then used to investigate its influence on inflation and unemployment, linking income shocks to macro-labor outcomes within a Phillips–Okun framework. By com- bining long-memory income dynamics with empirical macro-labor modeling, the study provides new insights into how persistent fluctuations in income growth shape price adjustments and labor market responses. These findings offer both theoretical and policy-relevant implications for emerging economies experiencing cyclical or structural growth variations.
