The study has used econometrics methods, such as Time series stationarity test, Johansen cointegration test, Fully modified least squares, and Dynamic least squares.

The study found that the Algerian economy is characterized by Bars curve.

It suggested that the optimal government spending in Algeria, which contributes in increasing economic growth to achieve its higher level, must adjusted between 23.6% - 34.9%.

According to the results, the government spending to GDP ratio in Algeria has exceeded the optimal point of government spending over the last ten years, which affected negatively the economic growth.
