Item Restricted The Effect of Oil Prices on GDP in Saudi Arabia.(Saudi Digital Library, 2020) Alomar, Norah Mohammed; Khawaja, Muhammad Junaidالملخص: This study examines the impact of oil prices on gross domestic product of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in the period between (1983–2018) using Johansen Cointegration and Engle-Granger Causality test. The results reveal that there is a long-term relationship between gross domestic product and price of oil in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and there is a causal relationship in two directions between the gross domestic product and the price of oil, as each of them effects the other. The results of the research confirm that the price of oil has an important and pivotal role in the Saudi economy and from here we conclude how dangerous it is to rely on it as a major source in the economy as it is a non-renewable and depletable source. Therefore, the study recommends the development of renewable energy sources, diversification of the economic base and turning to the industrial sector, the pharmaceutical sector and other renewable sectors so that the Kingdom does not become totally dependent on the oil sector.6 0Item Restricted The Causality Between Stock Prices, Exchange Rate and GDP in Saudi Arabia(Saudi Digital Library, 2019) Alotatibi, Amjad Mohammed; Khawaja, muhammad JunaidThe study aims to find if there is a causal relationship between Saudi gross domestic product, stock prices, and the exchange rate. The study contains the gross domestic product as a dependent variable in the first equation while the independent variables in the equation are the market index (TASI) and the exchange rate and the GDP for the previous period, in the second equation the exchange rate is the dependent variable. The research sample starts from the first quarter of 2010 to the first quarter of 2019. Three tests were used, starting from the Unit root test, the Co- integration test, and a Granger causality test for four hypotheses. The results show that there is no causal relationship between the variables. Which emphasizes the need to develop the Saudi market.4 0
