The nexus between knowledge-based economy and economic growth in North Africa region

Abstract

This paper aims to understand the interaction between knowledge-based economy and economic growth in North Africa economies. We apply panel data analysis from the period of 2013-2018, including selected North Africa countries. We use the GMM estimators introduced by Arellano and Bond. The results suggest that human capital and research, institutions, knowledge and technology outputs and creative outputs have significant influence on economic growth in North Africa region.
