The Role Of Smart Logistics Corridors In Enhancing Non-hydrocarbon Exports In Algeria: An Empirical Assessment An Augmented Gravity Model Approach With Digital Infrastructure Indicators

Abstract

This study aims to explore whether smart logistics corridors can serve as a catalyst for the diversification of non-hydrocarbon exports in Algeria. With hydrocarbon exports exceeding 90% of total export revenues, the nation's economic structure is rendered fragile and vulnerable to fluctuations in global energy markets, which hinders the transition toward decarbonization. To achieve the study's objective, an augmented gravity model was employed using the Poisson Pseudo-Maximum Likelihood (PPML) estimator across 15 trading partners over the period from 2010 to 2023. The model incorporates the World Bank's Logistics Performance Index (LPI), a digital infrastructure index, and a post-implementation dummy variable for the Algerian Port Community System (APCS). The results demonstrate that a one-unit improvement in Algeria's LPI score corresponds to an approximately 307% increase in the volume of non-hydrocarbon exports, while the modernization of digital infrastructure exhibits the strongest impact among all explanatory variables. Furthermore, the Algerian Port Community System contributed to a 20.6% increase in port export throughput. Sectoral analysis reveals that manufacturing exports benefit disproportionately from logistics improvements, with customs efficiency and tracking and tracing capabilities emerging as the highest-impact dimensions. These findings establish smart logistics corridors as a primary determinant of successful export diversification, providing practical and actionable implications for Algeria and similar resource-dependent economies.
