This preprint examines the empirical relationship between tourism and economic growth in Tunisia from 1975 to 2018, using control variables selected from theoretical and empirical work on economic growth determinants. The authors apply ARDL modeling and report interpretations for both short-term and long-term associations, aiming to draw lessons relevant to a potential tourism sector development strategy. A major caveat is that the study is a Research Square preprint and is explicitly not peer reviewed by a journal. The paper does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.

Abstract

The objective of this work is the empirical investigation of the relationship between tourism and economic growth in Tunisia over the period from 1975 to 2018. Using control variables chosen during a reading of the theoretical and empirical review of the determinants of economic growth in the context of responding to the problem posed for the case of Tunisia. In the first step, it is appropriate to present the methodology of analysis that we will adapt in our study, where the identification of the theoretical and empirical bases combined with the specification of our empirical model occupies a place of honor. The second step consists in gathering the empirical results with the help of the ARDL modelling, the interpretations of this study in Short term (ST) as well as in Long term (LT) accompanied with some lessons for a possible development strategy of the tourist sector. JEL classification : C23, O16.
