الملخص EN

The research paper targets the topic of government expenditure on education and the size of the informal economy in Algeria during the period 1970-2019, based on a simple standard regression model of two variables (the size of the informal economy as a dependent variable and the size of government expenditure on education as an independent variable).

after verifying the existence of a co-integration between the study variables and a long-term equilibrium relationship, the parameters of the vector error correction model were estimated and showed a negative significant effect of the volume of government spending devoted to education on the size of the informal economy, this complies with the results of many other previous researches and studies, and the findings confirm the role of a good quality education in realizing the risks that people may be exposed to when they violate the law, a point that must be taken care of by policy makers and decision makers in trying to integrate the activities of the informal economy.
