Morocco's development policies, which were based on a strategy of import substitution and relied heavily on deficit financing, reached their limit early in the mid 1970's and early 1980's. The manifestation of this has been the eventual prevalence of chronic internal and external imbalances which have dimmed the prospects of economic growth. Bearing this in mind and the new entry of Spain, Greece and Portugal--direct competitors of Morocco--into the European Economic Community, the aim of this dissertation is to construct an aggregate econometric model in order to estimate the numerical values of various important parameters describing the behavior of several economic phenomena during the period from 1960 to 1984. / In designing the model, we drew on relevant theories including development theory, and took due consideration of actual structural and institutional peculiarities of the Moroccan economy and its policy making institutions. The dissertation describes how the model functions, cautions against its limitations, and outlines its potential policy uses. The model provides a sound quantitative framework for Morocco's macro and sectoral analysis. The study also provides a forecast and dynamic multiplier analyses. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 49-12, Section: A, page: 3798. / Major Professor: William J.
