Abstract

Côte d’Ivoire has decided to boost private investment by increasing it to 30% of GDP, following a substantial reduction or even elimination of its debt. To achieve this, the authorities have opted to increase public investment through the construction of infrastructure and the development of Public-Private Partnerships (PPP). This strategy is based on the hypothesis of crowding-in effects, reflecting the positive impact of public investment on private investment. This article seeks to verify the existence of such effects in Côte d’Ivoire, within the framework of a dynamic analysis. The use of the Autoregressive Distributive Lag (ARDL) model, in the form of Error Correction Models (ECM), has made it possible to show crowding-out effects in both the short and long term. The results recommend redirecting public investment towards more productive sectors and call for caution in an increasing public investment.
