In this report we propose to study the Tunisian path to economic development in four stages. First, we trace the history of economic development in Tunisia over the period 1961-2001, describing the different economic policies that were adopted and their consequences on factor accumulation and well being. We distinguish three phases of economic development: the socialist period from 1961 to 1970, the mixed economy period from 1971 to 1986, and the structural adjustment period from 1987 to 2001.
