An empirical approach to economic growth and financial development: case of Algeria

الملخص EN

In our study, we focus on short-term and long-term relationship between economic growth and financial development.

we use a multi-step methodology, namely the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) approach and the vector error correction model (VECM) approach to evaluate this relationship in Algeria from 1980 to 2020.

our results show that there is a bidirectional causal relationship, long-term and short-term, of the type: validated but degenerate cointegration relationship, between the GDP per capita and the financial development index in Algeria.

our study is different in that it investigates the nature of the long-term relationship between economic growth and the financial development index over a 40-year period.
