The effects of the fiscal pression on the economic growth were subject of proceedings for a long time between economists. For some, the fiscal pression affect negatively growth while for other, governments must appropriate taxes to finance the susceptible structuring projects of growth. In this article, we intended to examine the relation between the fiscal pression and growth.
Of this fact, we have borrowed for 12 Sub-Saharan Africa’s countries the generalized moment method in panel data and panel threshold regression for one active period of 1985 to 2012. We succeeded to the results according to which, the fiscal pression is bound to the economic activity and this relation is not linear. A threshold exists between the fiscal pression and growth. Below this threshold, the fiscal pression encourages growth but to over of this threshold, it becomes harmful of economy.
