Well-being And The Regionalization Of Trade Exchanges

Abstract
This research quantifies the economic impacts of a preferential agreement with the European Union on Algerian households, employing a static computable general equilibrium framework based on a 2012 Social Accounting Matrix. The simulation of a unilateral removal of tariff barriers on European products reveals counter-intuitive results: contrary to classical free trade predictions, household surplus contracts, as evidenced by the negative equivalent variation metric. This erosion of welfare is primarily explained by massive trade diversion favoring European flows, generating a compression of available resources, savings capacity, and real purchasing power. The analysis demonstrates that discriminatory regionalism generates net costs in the Algerian context, imperatively requiring compensatory policies – targeted investments and redistributive mechanisms – to mitigate transitional adjustments and foster sustainable and equitable improvement in collective welfare.
