Algeria's Economic Complexity And Export Competitiveness: What Can Algeria Gain Knowledge From Industrial Nations' Experiences?

Authors : Laib Walid .

Abstract

Economic complexity can be defined as the composition of a country's production output and represents the structure that emerges for holding and combining knowledge. In terms of product categories and their complexity, the most complex products include machinery, chemicals, and metal products. The main exporters of the most complex products are developed countries. This means that these countries are highly export-competitive. Looking at the share of high-tech exports, Algeria's appears to be lower than it should be. This results in Algeria's relatively low economic complexity index and poor export competitiveness. According to the findings of the econometric studies carried out for this study, changes in the logistic performance index have a special influence on the economic complexity index. Countries must consequently pay more attention to invest more money in the logistics sector in order to reach a given level on the economic complexity index.
