Effect of transportation infrastructure on economic growth in Algeria using The VECM approach (1995-2013)‎

Abstract EN

This paper examines the effect of transportation (RAIL and ROAD) infrastructure on economic growth in Algeria over the period (1995-2013).

Using Vector Error Correction Model (VECM), the paper finds long run relationship between (RAIL and ROAD) transportation land and economic growth.

The paper suggests that expansion of transport infrastructure (both RAIL and ROAD) along with gross capital formation will lead to sub- stantial growth of the Algerian economy.

Therefore, The transportation infrastructure constitutes one of the main axles of an integration of the Maghreb countries; an integration that ensures a connection with the European countries thanks to the interoperability of the networks.
