The reality of corruption and its impact on economic growth in Algeria for the period 2003-2021: An ARDL approach

Abstract

 This study aims to identify the reality of corruption in Algeria through the Corruption Perceptions Index, and to measure its impact on Algeria's economic growth in the short and long terms for the period 2003-2021, using the ARDL model. According to the results of the Bounds Test, the results indicate that a long-run equilibrium relationship exists between the variables. The results showed that there is a significant negative effect in the long-run for each of the public sector contribution and human capital formation on economic growth, and a non-significant positive effect for each of physical capital formation and corruption perceptions index on economic growth in Algeria.
