Abstract

This study aimed to determine the impact of monthly oil price fluctuations on the annual economic growth rates in Algeria during the period 1990-2021 using the (MIDAS) model. Among the most important findings of the study is that annual economic growth in Algeria is positively affected by the monthly changes in international oil prices. The study also found that MIDAS models have a great predictive ability, allowing researchers to utilize all available information for high-frequency variables, instead of using annual average values that lose a lot of information. These models also help avoid converting low-frequency variables to match high-frequency variables, reducing econometric issues in model diagnostics and ensuring greater accuracy in results.
