Abstract

The aim of this study is to clarify the importance of the transportation sector and the
extent of its contribution to achieving economic growth, and its impact on the national economy
through the policies followed by Algeria in this field as a strategic sector. In order to estimate the
relationship between the variables of this study for the period between (1980-2017) depending on
the model of joint integration according to ARDL approach, the study concluded that there is a
long-term positive balanced relationship between the transport sector (land, maritime and railways)
with economic growth, meanwhile there is an inverse relationship with the air transport sector.
