ABSTRACT

This study examined the influence of international tourism and foreign direct investment on economic growth in Morocco during the period 1983–2018. Using autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) approach and causality tests, the study analyzed the relationship between real GDP, tourist arrivals, foreign direct investment (FDI) flowing into the tourism sector and FDI in the others sectors. The results obtained indicate that there is a positive relationship between tourist arrivals and economic growth in the long-run. The results also show that non-tourism FDI has a positive and significant impact on economic growth, while tourism FDI has a negative effect on economic growth. In addition, long-run causality results show that the hypothesis of economic growth driven by tourist arrivals and foreign direct investment is significant at the 1% level. Similarly, our results show that in the long-run, the hypothesis of tourism demand driven by economic growth and FDI is significant at the 1% level. The Granger causality test reveals a one-way causal relationship from economic growth to tourist arrivals, FDI flows in the tourism sectors and FDI flows in the non-tourism sectors in Morocco. This study suggests that decisions-makers should align the tourism strategy with other sectoral plans in a global, coherent and integrated strategic vision to take full advantage of FDI and international tourism. Policy implications of this study and future research suggestions are also mentionned.

旅游业 FDI 和国际旅游业对摩洛哥经济增长的影响:来自 ADL 界限测试方法的证据

摘要

本研究考察了 1983 年至 2018 年期间国际旅游和外国直接投资对摩洛哥经济增长的影响。该研究使用自回归分布滞后 (ARDL) 方法和因果关系检验,分析了实际 GDP、游客人数、流入旅游业的外国直接投资 (FDI) 与其他部门的 FDI 之间的关系。研究结果表明,从长远来看,旅游人数与经济增长之间存在正相关关系。研究结果还表明,非旅游 FDI 对经济增长具有显着的正向影响,而旅游 FDI 对经济增长具有负向影响。此外,长期因果关系结果表明,由游客人数和外国直接投资驱动的经济增长假设在 1% 的水平上显着。同样,我们的研究结果表明,从长期来看,经济增长和 FDI 驱动的旅游需求假设在 1% 的水平上是显着的。Granger 因果关系检验揭示了摩洛哥经济增长与游客人数、旅游部门的 FDI 流量和非旅游部门的 FDI 流量之间的单向因果关系。本研究表明,决策者应在全球、连贯和综合的战略愿景中将旅游战略与其他部门计划保持一致,以充分利用外国直接投资和国际旅游业。还提到了本研究的政策含义和未来的研究建议。Granger 因果关系检验揭示了摩洛哥经济增长与游客人数、旅游部门的 FDI 流量和非旅游部门的 FDI 流量之间的单向因果关系。本研究表明,决策者应在全球、连贯和综合的战略愿景中将旅游战略与其他部门计划保持一致,以充分利用外国直接投资和国际旅游业。还提到了本研究的政策含义和未来的研究建议。Granger 因果关系检验揭示了摩洛哥经济增长与游客人数、旅游部门的 FDI 流量和非旅游部门的 FDI 流量之间的单向因果关系。本研究表明,决策者应在全球、连贯和综合的战略愿景中将旅游战略与其他部门计划保持一致,以充分利用外国直接投资和国际旅游业。还提到了本研究的政策含义和未来的研究建议。
