Masters II Economics Research Dissertation

By Salifou Essessinou

This thesis determined the relationship between exports and the growth of production in Benin and analyzed the role of export diversification on the economic growth of Benin. He showed that export diversification has a significant effect on economic growth. So to achieve this result, we used the data, annual time series covering the period 1980 to 2019 on which the stationarity test (ADF test) was carried out. Then we used the autoregressive model with distributed delays (ARDL) following a test of Co integration. This study shows that export diversification is very important in the short term and in the long term. But we find that export diversification makes a weak contribution to Benin's economic growth. This calls on the government of Benin to design and implement long-term and short-term development strategies and institutional reforms to foster export diversification that will lead to economic transformation. So we have suggested some steps in that direction.
