  • The Impact of China-Burkina Faso Trade on Burkina Faso Economic Growth
    Journal of Economics and Sustainable Development www.iiste.org ISSN 2222-1700 (Paper) ISSN 2222-2855 (Online) Vol.11, No.22, 2020 The Impact of China-Burkina Faso Trade on Burkina Faso Economic Growth Lionel Ulrich Ouedraogo * Diping Zhang School of Science, Zhejiang University of Science and Technology, 310023, China Abstract The impact of trade expansion of China on Burkina Faso's economy is analyzed in this work through these two channels: trade in goods and services, foreign direct investment. To capture the direct and indirect effects of Chinese trade, a computable general equilibrium model is used. The different simulations that have been used are gathered in groups. The first group includes an increase of the transfers from China to Burkina Faso by 10%, an increase of 5% of the stock of productive capital, an increase of 2% in the total factor productivity. The second group includes an expansion of the exports from Burkina Faso to China by 5%w; a decrease of international export prices of manufactured products plus an increase in international prices of export commodities; and a decrease of the international import prices of products from China. The simulation results show that the simulations of trade expansion have led to an increase of domestic prices, exports and imports from China. In addition, the effect on economic growth, value added and household’s welfare is low. Regarding the first group of simulations, the results show a decline of domestic prices, and an increase of exports and a decrease of imports. More FDI inflows induce a raise of economic growth equal to 1.90%, of total labor demand 0.08% and an increase of the average well-being of household by 1.41%.

  • Role of Agriculture in Economic Development: Case of Burkina Faso
    ISSN 2394-7322 International Journal of Novel Research in Marketing Management and Economics Vol. 3, Issue 3, pp: (91-104), Month: September - December 2016, Available at: www.noveltyjournals.com Role of Agriculture in Economic Development: Case of Burkina Faso 1Wendkouma İssa TRAWİNA, 2Pr. Dr. Nurettin ÖZTÜRK 1Master's student, Department of Economic Development and Growth, Gazi University of Ankara/ Turkey 2Professor of Economics, Department of Economics, Gazi University of Ankara/ Turkey Abstract: This study examines the agricultural sector impact into Burkina Faso’s economic development and its interactions with other sectors using time-series co-integration techniques. We used annual data from 1970-2015 to estimate a Vector Auto regression (VAR) model that includes GDP per capita and added values of agriculture, industry and service sectors. The result of the estimate indicates that it does exist no causal relationship between agricultural GDP and GDP per capita. The agricultural sector has no positive impact on the economic development in Burkina Faso. As for non-agricultural sectors, the only causal link is that found between industry and agriculture. The total independence between the agricultural sector and the services sector shows that the agricultural sector has not yet played its role as an upstream sector from other sectors. I.e. the sector that by its expansion can induce the development of other sectors, which subsequently will favor the development of the economy as a whole. Keywords: Agricultural Sector, Burkina Faso, Co-integration, GDP, Economic Development, Vector Auto Regression (VAR). 1. INTRODUCTION The agricultural sector continues to play a crucial role for development, especially in low-income countries where the sector is large both in term of aggregate income and total labor force.

  • New Alliance for Food Security & Nutrition in Burkina Faso
    Cooperation Framework to Support the New Alliance for Food Security & Nutrition in Burkina Faso G8 Cooperation framework to Support the “New Alliance for Food Security and Nutrition” in Burkina Faso Three years after the G8 Summit at L’Aquila, Italy, the international community recognizes the importance of food security to development, inclusive economic growth and the dignity of all women and men. In that spirit, we welcome the success of the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Program (CAADP) in demonstrating African ownership and leadership, its call for expanded public and private investment in agriculture and desire to build on the progress that African governments have made in advancing a vision for agricultural development in Africa. In January 2011, the Government of Burkina Faso drafted and adopted a new development strategy known as “Strategy for Accelerated Growth and Sustainable Development” (“Stratégie de croissance accélérée et de développement durable” - SCADD) for the period 2011-2015, with the overall aim of achieving strong, sustained and quality economic growth with multiplier effects on income and the standard of living of Burkinabè and respectful of the principles of sustainable development. Over the period 2011-2015, the SCADD aims at fast-tracking growth and continuing the efforts toward achieving the MDGs. A 10% average annual growth rate of real GDP is targeted. The Government opted for an accelerated growth model focusing on the private sector as a driving force, relying on an innovative approach with an emphasis on: (i) promoting growth poles; (ii) developing promising value chains, business niches and clusters; (iii) encouraging a pro-poor growth to effectively alleviate poverty1.
