An empirical analysis study of inflation and import of foods in Algeria (2001-2019)‎

Abstract EN

Through this article, we have attempted to study the effect of the index of inflation transfer via food imports (ITM) on the Algerian consumer price index (CPI), during the period 2000-2019, and to do so.

We used one of the dynamic modeling methods which are vector autoregressive models (VAR).

The results showed a positive and significant impact of ITM on the Algerian consumer price index (CPI).

Through the results of the co-integration test, there is a long-term relationship between the inflation transfer index via food imports (ITM) and the Algerian consumer price index (CPI), the relationship is a one-way relationship.
