تشخيص أعراض المرض الهولندي : حالة الجزائر 2000-2020

Abstract EN

The study aimed at verifying the hypothesis of the Dutch disease theory in Algeria using the descriptive analytical approach.

in the process of detecting the symptoms of the phenomenon, a set of economic indicators was used, represented in : the index of relative importance of the sectors contributing to the formation of the gross domestic product, the inflation index, the exchange rate index, and the labor force index.

the study revealed a set of results denoting the existence of some symptoms that appear through the clear development and expansion of the non- tradeable sector and the inflation index, since the source of inflationary pressures is the prices of non-tradeable commodities, it further concluded that the exchange rate does not act as a channel for the transmission of the symptoms of the Dutch disease to the economy in Algeria.

the reason for this is attributed to the nature of the followed exchange rate system, as well as to the absence of labor transfer between the different sectors, the study recommends the need to adopt a policy of economic diversification and sterilization of incomes before integrating them into the national economy through the application of financial and monetary policies and the encouragement of direct foreign investment in the tradeable sector as well as investment in human capital.
