The Effect Of Economic Growth On The Environmental Pressure Of Water Consumption In Algeria. Using Autoregressive Distributed Lag Analysis For The Period (1980-2019)

Résumé

This paper aims to try to investigate the impact of
economic growth on the environmental pressure
of water consumption within the framework of
the Kuznets environmental curve in Algeria, both
in the short and long term, by conducting a formal
study in Algeria during the period 1980-2019,
The ARDL self-regression methodology was
used to verify this study using variable the water
consumption as a dependent variable and
explanatory variables represented in real GDP
and the population..
Based on the study variables, the study found that
growth positively affects the environmental
pressure of Algeria's water consumption in the
short and long terms. This is different from the
assumptions of Kuznets environmental curve.
