      abstract = {In this paper, I use a dynamic recursive computable  general equilibrium to evaluate, for the economy of  Senegal, the dynamic effects of an economic Partnership  Agreement between West African countries and the European  Union. In the simulation, the liberalization scheme is  designed in a way similar to the interim agreement signed  by Cote d’Ivoire and Ghana. The effects described are the  shifts from the baseline numbers. I found that the  production of agricultural goods will decrease, affecting  employment negatively, particularly in unskilled labor,  since this sector is very labor intensive. In fact,  employment drops at around 0.2 percent a year, during the  simulation period (2012-2030). GDP grows on average by 1.9  percent a year. The effects of the economic partnership  agreement closely mirror the results of a free trade  agreement between Senegal and the European Union, implying  that a customs union between West African countries is not  necessary to reap of the benefit of the former.},
