Abstract

 

As part of this research work we are interested in studying the effect of financial development and trade openness on economic growth.
It seems important to consider the method used to achieve the objectives set.
The technique used the ARDL on annual data covering the period 1970-2015.
The results of our estimate suggest that the financial sector and trade openness have no significant effect on Algerian economic growth in the long and short term.
