The purpose of this research is to examine the bidirectional relationship between companies' financial distress and the business cycle in the Egyptian market, especially with the scarcity of research in this area. Based on a quarterly time series extended from the first quarter in 2002 to the fourth quarter in 2018, the researcher constructed an index of financial distress and used real GDP as a measure of the business cycle. The researcher employed a vector autoregressive (VAR) model, in addition to the impulse response function and variance decomposition methods to test the research hypotheses. The study reached a significant negative effect of financial distress on the business cycle, but it didn't support the effect in the opposite direction from the business cycle to financial distress. I.e., the study didn't support the bidirectional relationship between companies' financial distress and the business cycle in the Egyptian market. Granger causality and Wald tests confirmed this finding. Many parties can benefit from this finding to anticipate and prepare for business cycle fluctuations. The study recommended several future researches in that field.

Abstract
The research aims to know the types of shocks that can result from correcting or liberalizing energy prices in Egypt, and what are the effects of this correction on energy prices at the level of economic welfare of the family sector and the outside world sector, and the effect of this correction on the allocation of investment resources in the production sector And its effect on the government sector, as a study also aims to determine the effects of energy price correction on the overall economic performance in Egypt.The study concluded that the low energy prices in Egypt over the years and the government's heavy dependence on importing several types of different forms of energy have a high cost, whether on the government or taxpayers, and that low energy prices encourage excessive energy consumption which increases the speed of their depletion. In this regard, the DSGE model was designed based on the theoretical foundations of the New Keynesian School and according to the reality of the Egyptian economy.
