Rent and economic growth in Morocco: Descriptive study

Abstract

The relationship between rent and economic growth in Morocco is an important subject that merits in-depth analysis. The concept of rent generally refers to income derived from natural resources or monopolies, while economic growth represents the positive evolution of a country’s production and economic activities over a given period. In Morocco, this relationship has been shaped by various historical, political, and economic factors, which have influenced how rent has been generated, distributed, and invested.

The methodology adopted in this article is mainly descriptive, providing a detailed overview of the relationship between rents and economic growth in Morocco. This article begins by presenting the conceptual and theoretical framework of the rent - economic growth duo. It then examines how rent, particularly artificial rent (as opposed to natural rent, which resembles a Natural gifts), can influence the country's economic growth.

This paper also discusses measures taken by the government to combat this phenomenon. By better understanding this complex relationship, we will be able to propose solutions to stimulate economic growth while reducing dependence on rent.
