Additionally, the paper will explore persisting challenges and the policies that contribute to limiting the prevalence and size of women-owned businesses in this region. The subsequent sections will scrutinize the laws and practices both supporting and hindering women's entrepreneurship. The paper will conclude with recommendations for rephrasing the issues and advocating for legal changes.

This article aims to develop a methodology in which alternative projects are prioritized and selected using appropriate methods of multi-criteria decision-making in organizations responsible for managing and developing transportation modes. This study addresses a particular gap in implementing a systematic methodology for prioritizing and selecting transportation modes for investment. The developed methodology proposes an approach based on the multi-criteria decision support method AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process). The problem was implemented using the ExpertChoice software, which allows for the effective integration of decision-makers in the decision-making process to identify potentially profitable and beneficial transportation modes for the community.

Measuring the impact of the knowledge economy in promoting the economic and environmental dimension of sustainable development The case of Algeria for the period (1980-2021)

2026-10-08T06:53:22+00:00

This study aimed to analyze the reality of sustainable development in Algeria and the changes in indicators of the knowledge economy, as well as standard modeling of the impact of the knowledge economy on the economic and environmental dimension of sustainable development in Algeria, and to address the problem of the subject and test its hypotheses as well as achieve this goal. The study used annual data for a time series during the period (1980-2021) for each of the indicators of the knowledge economy and the indicators of sustainable development as follows: primary school enrollment, fixed telephone subscriptions (per 100 persons), mobile phone subscriptions (per 100 persons), foreign direct investment, net inflows as indicators of the knowledge economy, and gross product growth and arable land as indicators of sustainable development (the economic and environmental dimension), and the Eviews 10 economic measurement program was used to estimate the model and use unit root tests to study stability and test co-integration according to the autoregressive distributed deceleration (ARDL) approach to test the existence of a relationship in the long and short term among the variables under study.

Through the aforementioned tests, the results proved the existence of a relationship in the long and short terms between the indicators of the knowledge economy included in the model and the indicators of sustainable development, including economic and environmental, in Algeria during the studied period.

Econometric Study of How Exchange Rate Fluctuations Affect Economic Growth in Algeria (1990-2022)

2026-10-08T06:33:57+00:00

This paper does an econometric analysis to investigate the relationship between changes in exchange rates and Algerian economic growth from 1990 to 2022. This paper examines previous data to determine how exchange rate swings affect Algeria's economy, emphasizing its export dependency. The research examined immediate and long-term exchange rate- Gross Domestic Product (GDP) connections using an Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model. The model's stability and optimal time delay are assessed in the early tests. The ARDL limits testing method confirms a cointegrating connection, demonstrating a stable long-term balance between variables. An initial study shows that the exchange rate negatively impacts economic development, exposing the difficulties of imported inflation and currency instability. The study reveals no significant effects, proposing separating nominal and real aspects over more extended periods. These results help policymakers understand how exchange rate policies affect economic growth.
