How does the pricing policy affect clean fuels consumption (GPL C)‎ in Algeria ? : a dynamic model approach (ARDL)‎

Abstract EN

The transportation sector is essential in Algeria's national assessment of energy consumption.

because it is an important vehicle for economic and social development and a source of greenhouse gas emissions, this sector unquestionably requires serious attention.

furthermore, its importance has prompted the Algerian public authorities to adopt tariff policies with the aim of directing demand towards relatively clean energy products in accordance with commitments to the various international protocols.

this study aims to evaluate the short-and long-term impacts of this policy on Algeria's fossil fuel consumption (LPG / C).

to determine this dynamic, we used the ARDL model from 1995 to 2020.

the findings show that, in the short term, consumption of LPG / C depends positively on its past value, average oil prices, and GDP and negatively influenced by gasoline prices.

however, there is always a positive relationship between LPG / C consumption and the average gasoline price in the long term ; despite the variables, diesel fuel and gasoline prices have a negative impact on LPG / C consumption.
