Abstract:
This paper investigates the linear asymmetric impacts of oil price shocks on the Algerian
economic growth during the period (1990-2015), using the ARDL approach. The results show that
there is insignificant positive effect of oil price fluctuations on the Algerian economic growth in the
long run and the short run. finally the study recommends that the Algerian government, and in order
to reduce its dependency on the petroleum sector, should adopt a prudent fiscal policy toward oil
prices, further more it should use its oil revenues and the financial Surpluses to develop the other
economic sectors.
