ABSTRACT: Senegal and Morocco
have significant advantages to develop bilateral trade. Trade between the two
countries is in favor of Morocco. The estimation of the trade potential of the
two countries based on an augmented gravity model reveals that this potential
is underexploited vis-à-vis African trade partners and other parts of the World
(Europe, Asia, and Latin America). The trade performances of Senegal and
Morocco should be improved through the implementation of a supply policy and
targeted support to exporting firms.
