OIL PRICES-GROWTH NEXUS IN ALGERIA USING THE MEDAS MODEL
Get PDFObjective: This Article aims to investigate the impact of oil price fluctuations on economic growth in Algeria using the Mixed Data Sampling (MIDAS) model during the period 1990-2022
Theoretical Framework: The theoretical aspect addressed the different time-frequency models by defining the Midas models and addressing the weighting functions used in estimating these models.
Method: Estimating the relationship between a high-frequency variable (oil price) and a low-frequency variable (economic growth rate GDP) using the MIDAS model using Almon's PDL Weighting Function.
Results and Discussion: The results of the study concluded economic growth in Algeria is directly affected by oil prices, The study also found that MIDAS models have a great predictive ability, allowing researchers to utilize all available information for high-frequency variables, instead of using annual average values that lose a lot of information. avoid converting low-frequency variables to match high-frequency variables, reducing econometric issues in model diagnostics.
Research Implications: Research Implications: It is suggested that rentier countries such as Algeria work to diversify their economy away from oil, and follow up the process of economic diversification and accelerate it during periods of high fuel prices by working to develop non-strategic sectors as agriculture, tourism and manufacturing industries.
Originality/Value: These results are expected to benefit policymakers in government, by urging them to invest in renewable energies as a crucial strategy for achieving sustainable development and a key factor in mitigating oil price shocks, particularly during recent recurring global crises. Future research directions include exploring existing gaps and promoting standardized studies

DA DESCONSIDERAÇÃO DA PERSONALIDADE JURÍDICA NO PROCESSO FALIMENTAR
Get PDFObjectives: The present work aims to analyze the application of the theory of piercing of the corporate veil in bankruptcy, and what will be the effects on the partners and affiliated companies.

With regard to the constitutional basis, the principles of free enterprise and the mitigated finalist theory, adopted by the Consumer Protection Code, were collated.
Method: The research was carried out mainly through the methodology of data collection contained in bibliographic survey and jurisprudential decisions.
Results: Through the study of the aforementioned sources, it was found that it is possible to extend the bankruptcy effects through the piercing of the corporate veil, however, it is necessary that the requirements be unequivocally proven, under penalty of prolonging the bankruptcy unduly for several partners and nearby companies indiscriminately, causing the ruin of the entire corporate chain.
Discussion: The problem identified consisted of verifying permission to extend the bankruptcy effects to partners and affiliated companies, and what are the requirements for this, in view of the need to protect companies, avoiding successive bankruptcies.

Originality/Value: Considering the non-confrontation of the problem of this article by other authors so far, the work started from an innovative approach, which will guide the interpretation and application of the rules inserted in the bankruptcy legislation by the changes that came into force from 2022.O presente trabalho analisou a aplicação da teoria da desconsideração da personalidade jurídica na falência, e quais serão os efeitos perante os sócios e sociedades coligadas. O presente estudo objetiva demonstrar como se dará a cumulação dos dois institutos e como a cadeia societária poderá ser responsabilizada. A problemática da pesquisa consiste na verificação de permissão para estender os efeitos falimentares para os sócios e sociedades coligadas, e quais os requisitos para tanto, tendo em vista, a necessidade de proteção das sociedades, evitando-se que ocorram sucessivas quebras. A pesquisa metodológica se deu principalmente através de doutrina e jurisprudência. Assim, através do estudo constatou-se que é possível estender os efeitos falimentares através da desconsideração da personalidade jurídica, todavia, faz-se necessário que os requisitos sejam inequivocamente comprovados, sob pena de prolongar a falência de modo indevido para diversos sócios e sociedades próximas de forma indiscriminada, causando a ruína de toda cadeia societária. Por fim, não há que se olvidar da aplicação dos princípios da função social e da preservação da empresa, que servirão para fundamentar a cautela no prolongamento da falência
