Analysis of the economic effect of the devaluation of the real exchange rate with a computable general equilibrium model : case study of Algeria

Abstract EN

This article aims to describe the effect of the policy of the devaluation of the real exchange rate on some variables of the Algerian economy such as domestic production and trade (importation, exportation), using the computable general equilibrium model.

The basic data of the model is the table of inputs and outputs of Algeria in 2014 which was identified using the social accounting matrix created using national accounts data.

The results of the study show that due to the devaluation of the real exchange rate by 10%, total production and imports increased while exports declined.
