Abstract EN

This study investigates the evidence of the Dutch Disease in Algeria by observing the structural change in the Algerian economy since independence.

The paper argues that the Dutch disease in Algeria may be hypothesised.

The main justifications behind it are the relative deterioration of manufacturing and agricultural sectors, and the relative improvement of service sector and oil sector performance.

Furthermore, the Algerian hydrocarbon exports still dominate the total exports and account for more than 98 percent of export receipts in the last fifteen years.

Key words: Dutch Disease; resource curse thesis; Oil; Algeria

Abstract FRE

Cette étude examine l’évidence du syndrome hollandais en Algérie en observant le changement structurel de l'économie algérienne depuis l'indépendance.

Le travail fait valoir que le syndrome hollandais en Algérie peut faire le sujet d’une analyse très approfondie.

Les principales justifications derrière ce sujet, sont la détérioration relative des secteurs industriel et agricole, et l'amélioration relative du secteur des services ainsi que la performance du secteur des hydrocarbures.

En outre, les exportations d'hydrocarbures algériens dominent toujours les exportations totales et comptent pour plus de 98 pour cent des recettes d'exportation au cours des quinze dernières années.
