Abstract

L'objectif de cet étude est d'analyser l'état de la convergence dans l'UEMOA, de 1980 à 2001, à travers les critères de convergence définis dans son pacte de convergence. On utilise l'approche méthodologique de Haldane et Hall (1991) pour appréhender la dynamique des variables économiques du pacte.
