Abstract

The distinction between entrepreneurship and rent-seeking is acknowledged, highlighting the significant role that entrepreneurship education plays in fostering employment opportunities, productivity, economic growth, innovation, and competitiveness. This approach ultimately enhances a country's standing in the global market. This study aims to evaluate the effect of entrepreneurship on Algeria's economic development. Using annual data from 2006 to 2020, the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) co-integration methodology is used to accomplish this. The analysis's main conclusions show that the variables of interest have a consistent, long-term relationship. Furthermore, the findings show that tertiary education (as a percentage of gross enrollment), new business density, and school enrolment all positively influence GDP growth over the short and long terms. These results offer strong proof of the beneficial impact of entrepreneurship on economic growth.

Ii. Literature Review

The majority of empirical study has been done to explain how entrepreneurship in Algeria contributes to economic progress; many academics believe that entrepreneurship effectively plays a role in emerging nations' economies, as follows (Klapper, Amit, Guillén, & Quesada, 2009): According to The World Bank Group Entrepreneurship, this database contains cross-country, time-series data on the total and newly registered businesses in 101 countries for the maximum period of 2000 to 2008, which is used in this paper to provide new evidence on entrepreneurship and firm formation across countries. The quality of the legal and regulatory framework, governance, and measures of economic and financial development and growth have substantial correlations with entrepreneurial activity in this study. The data demonstrates how crucial electronic registration processes are to promoting more business registration. These findings can inform wise policy decisions and provide fresh tools for evaluating the effects of changes. SMEs, which stands for small- and medium-sized enterprises, are likely to be the most susceptible to economic hardships (Khalil, Abdelli, & Mogaji, 2022). However, they tend to focus on low-value products and services instead of high-value ones (Arabeche Z, Soudani A, Brahmi M, Vinci CP, & MEA., 2022). In Algeria, various incubators have been established across the country to support the development of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) (Zina Arabeche & Abdelli, 2021).
