The aim of the paper is to find out the “No Maghreb” cost as untapped opportunities of intra regional trade and to check the existence of comparative advantages in the Maghreb region. We use panel data with gravity model to study the relationship between total exports and factors affecting them, as well as, the exports by sector and their determinants for a sample of 57 countries, between, 1980-2007. The goal is to point out the total exports potential as a proxy of the “No Maghreb” cost. The study also allows establishing whether there are comparative advantages among the region countries. The results show the weak level of intra regional trade comparing to its potential. They also demonstrate that Maghreb countries have similarities and disparities according to some comparative advantages. This contributes to encourage intra regional trade and improve trade perspectives in Maghreb. |
