The article aims to study the relationship between governance and economic growth in Tunisia. For this, we have integrated governance indicators into a growth model. Based on VAR modeling, the estimation of the model thus developed, using data from the World Bank for the period 1996-2017, made it possible to show that certain indicators of governance such as political stability, rule of law and regulatory quality have a positive influence on economic growth in Tunisia. Thus, the fight against corruption can further boost economic growth in countries rich in natural resources and applying democratic principles. On the other hand, other governance indicators such as government effectiveness and the voice of accountability do not produce expected effects on economic growth. As a result, political authorities need to improve governance indicators, including political stability, and control of corruption.

Abstract
The article aims to study the relationship between governance and economic growth in Tunisia. For this, we have integrated governance indicators into a growth model. Based on VAR modeling, the estimation of the model thus developed, using data from the World Bank for the period 1996-2017, made it possible to show that certain indicators of governance such as political stability, rule of law and regulatory quality have a positive influence on economic growth in Tunisia. Thus, the fight against corruption can further boost economic growth in countries rich in natural resources and applying democratic principles. On the other hand, other governance indicators such as government effectiveness and the voice of accountability do not produce expected effects on economic growth. As a result, political authorities need to improve governance indicators, including political stability, and control of corruption.

Abstract: (french)
L’article a pour objectif d’étudier la relation entre la gouvernance et la croissance économique en Tunisie. Pour cela, on a intégré les indicateurs de gouvernance dans un modèle de croissance. Sur la base d’une modélisation VAR, l’estimation du modèle ainsi développé, à partir des données de la banque mondiale pour la période 1996-2017, a permis de montrer que certains indicateurs de la gouvernance tels que la stabilité politique, l’état de droit et la qualité réglementaire exercent une influence positive sur la croissance économique en Tunisie. Ainsi, la lutte contre la corruption peut davantage booster la croissance économique dans les pays riches en ressources naturelles et qui appliquent les principes démocratiques. Par contre, les autres indicateurs de la gouvernance tels que l'efficacité du gouvernement et la voix de responsabilité ne produisent pas d’effets escomptés sur la croissance économique. En conséquence, les autorités politiques doivent améliorer les indicateurs de gouvernance, y compris la stabilité politique, et le contrôle de la corruption.
Author Keywords: gouvernance, croissance économique, VAR, causalité corruption, stabilité politique, état de droit, qualité réglementaire.
