Measuring the Effect of Fixed Capital Formation in the Non-Oil Sector on Economic Growth and the Crowding-Out of Current Expenditure in the Public Budget in Ksaan Empirical Study for the Period (1974-2014)
This study aimed in principle to measure the long-run effect of Fixed Capital Formation of the Non-Oil sector on the economic growth in kingdom of Saudi Arabia and whether the crowding-out of the current Expenditure to the capital Expenditure in KSA exists. To this end, the author based his research on the Johansen Co-integration Test, the Error Correction Model (ECM) and the Granger Causality Test. The results of the study have shown that there's a long-run equilibrium relationship between the growth rate of the Gross Fixed Capital Formation in Non-oil Sector (NOI) and changes that occur to the growth rate of the Gross Domestic Product at constant prices in Non-oil Sector (NOGDP). In addition, the study has reached the conclusion that a long-run change in the growth rate of the Non-oil Gross Fixed Capital Formation (NOI) by 1% will lead to a change in the growth rate of the Non-oil Gross Domestic Product (NOGDP) by 0.169%. The results made it clear that the relationship between changes in the constant- price NOI growth rate and changes in the (NOGDP) growth rate in the long run is a direct proportional relationship (the elasticity coefficient is positive; as the rise in the (NOI)growth rate will result in a rise in the (NOGDP) growth rate and vice versa. Moreover, the causality test results indicate that there's a two-way causal relationship between the growth rate of the Gross Fixed Capital Formation in Non-oil Sector (NOI) and changes in the growth rate of the constantprice GDP in Non-oil Sector(NOGDP). The results confirmed the the existence of crowding –out where the ratio of current Expenditure reached an average of 72.15% over the period 1974-2014. Capital Expenditure constituted only 28.85% of the total actual Expenditure for the same period. Usually sizable portion of the budget is allocated to this current Expenditure to meet an increasing wages and salaries of the public sector and other payments which asserts the imbalance in relative distribution of current and capital Expenditure which entails that Saudi authorities should take important decisions to increase the ratio of capital Expenditure at the expense of the current one specifically on wages and salaries. The researcher has offered a number of recommendations, among which the most significant ones are: The primary focus of the endeavour to stimulate and accelerate economic growth rates in the KSA should be based on achieving greater capital accumulation (i.e. increasing fixed capital formation), which the study proved to have a higher degree of elasticity with relation to economic growth in the long term, Another important recommendation is the need to direct a greater deal of government Expenditure in the KSA towards higher investment Expenditure, along with rationalizing current Expenditure.
This document summarizes several research papers on the relationship between capital markets and economic growth in various countries. The papers find mixed results. Some papers find a positive relationship between stock market development and economic growth in countries like India, while others find no significant or even a negative relationship in countries like Romania, Western Balkan nations, and Nigeria. Recommendations include encouraging more companies to access capital markets to increase market size and liquidity, and improving market regulation and transparency to boost investor confidence.
The document discusses fiscal policy and taxation policy in Bangladesh. It provides details on:
1) Bangladesh's fiscal policy is expansionary, causing large budget deficits that the government funds through borrowing. The main reasons for deficits are tax avoidance and corruption.
2) The taxation system in Bangladesh relies heavily on indirect taxes like import duties. Direct taxes only make up 19% of total taxes.
3) The government spends most on subsidies, education, interest payments, social services, and defense. Infrastructure like transportation and energy are also priorities.
The document summarizes Bangladesh's monetary policy between 2011-2015. Key points include:
- The central bank (Bangladesh Bank) used both expansionary and restrictive monetary policies by increasing or decreasing interest rates, cash reserve ratios, and repo/reverse repo rates to balance inflation, growth, and strengthening the economy.
- Between 2011-2012, policies aimed to lower inflation and support growth. In 2013, an expansionary policy pursued growth while aiming to lower inflation to 7%. 2014 policies initially restricted money supply to control rising food prices.
- In 2015, policies focused on moderate inflation, unemployment reduction, inclusive growth, and increasing domestic lending through digital technology and lowering costs of funds for projects. Inflation
The document summarizes monetary policy, which is carried out by central banks to control money supply and promote economic growth and stability. The main objectives of monetary policy are price stability, economic growth, and stable exchange rates. Central banks use tools like interest rates, reserve requirements, and open market operations to implement expansionary or contractionary monetary policy depending on economic conditions.

SBP faces challenges in balancing objectives of inflation, growth, and payments stability but aims to improve forecasting, understand policy transmission, and increase transparency.
Indian economy current problems and future prospectsKulandaivelu GfK
This document provides an overview of the current state of the Indian economy and prospects for the future. It notes several paradoxes, including high fiscal deficits despite low inflation and interest rates. While the current account is in surplus and foreign reserves are high, this situation is unusual for a developing country which typically relies on capital inflows to finance domestic investment. The document compares India's economic integration and performance to China's, and argues India could experience sudden capital outflows if interest rates rise abroad. Overall it suggests the economy is in an unhealthy state and private investment may be crowded out by large government deficits.
This document summarizes recent trends in capital flows to South Korea. It finds that capital inflows have increased substantially since the 1980s, driven primarily by surges in portfolio investments. Large capital inflows have contributed to rising asset prices and currency appreciation in Korea. The document empirically analyzes the effects of capital inflows on asset prices and exchange rates using a VAR model. It also discusses policy options for managing capital flows and their impacts.
The effects of monetary policy on inflation in ghana.Alexander Decker
This document summarizes a study on the effects of monetary policy on inflation in Ghana. The study used annual data from 1985 to 2009 to estimate a model relating the interest rate, exchange rate, and money supply to inflation. The results showed a long-run positive relationship between money supply and inflation, and a negative relationship between interest rate and inflation, but a positive relationship between exchange rate and inflation. The study recommends that monetary policy alone should not be used to control inflation and that fiscal and other non-monetary measures are also needed.
This document discusses a study examining the impact of monetary policy on the financial performance of banks in Pakistan from 2007-2011. It uses interest rates set by the State Bank of Pakistan as a measure of monetary policy. The study finds that higher interest rates, representing a tighter monetary policy, have a significant negative relationship with banks' financial performance as measured by their return on assets and return on equity. The document provides background on monetary policy, its tools of expanding or contracting the money supply, and how interest rates can affect bank risk-taking and performance. It also reviews prior literature finding that higher capitalized banks may increase risk-taking less in response to lower rates than other banks.
The document discusses monetary policy in Pakistan. It defines monetary policy as the process by which a central bank controls money supply to influence economic growth and stability. The objectives of monetary policy in Pakistan are to ensure price stability, promote economic growth, and maintain exchange rate stability. The key tools used are open market operations, discount rates, and required reserve ratios. Recently, the State Bank of Pakistan raised its key interest rate by 50 basis points to 10.75% to tighten monetary policy.

The research found that all independent variables have a significant effect on dependent variables both partially and simultaneously. Simultaneously it was found that leadership style and organizational culture affected organizational commitment by R2 = 0.77 with the most significant factor was on organizational communication. This result shows that there are still 43% of other factors that affected on organizational commitment. The next result was also gathered simultaneously which is the effect of leadership style, organizational culture and organizational commitment on employees ’performance with R2 = 0.79 with the most significant factor was on organizational commitment. This result shows that there are still 51% of other factors thataffected on employees 'performance that needs to be looked into in further research.
Since more than a decade, theoretical research on ontology evolution has been published in literature and frameworks for managing ontology changes have been developed. However, there are less studies that analyze widely used ontologies developed in a collaborative manner to understand community-driven ontology evolution in practice.
We performed an empirical analysis on how four well-known ontologies (DBpedia, Schema.org, PROV-O, and FOAF) have evolved through their lifetime and an analysis of the data quality issues caused by some of the ontology changes.

Este documento describe el realismo y naturalismo en la segunda mitad del siglo XIX. El realismo reflejaba la vida tal como era y se convirtió en la expresión de la burguesía, clase dominante en esa época. Autores como Galdós, Clarín y Pardo Bazán destacaron el realismo en España. Más tarde, el naturalismo de Zola enfatizó el determinismo y la influencia del ambiente en los personajes. Aunque menos desarrollado en España, el realismo capturó la vida cotidiana y las tensiones sociales y políticas de la época
Similar to Measuring the Effect of Fixed Capital Formation in the Non-Oil Sector on Economic Growth and the Crowding-Out of Current Expenditure in the Public Budget in Ksaan Empirical Study for the Period (1974-2014)
The document analyzes the effects of savings and investments on economic growth in Turkey from 1975-2010. It finds that in the long run, savings and investments are statistically correlated with economic growth based on cointegration and error correction modeling. However, in the short run neither savings nor investments significantly impact economic growth as expected, according to Wald test results. The study uses various econometric methods like unit root testing, lag length determination, Johansen cointegration testing, and Granger causality testing to analyze the relationships between GDP, savings, and investments.
Financial development and economic growth in nigeriaAlexander Decker
The document discusses the relationship between financial development and economic growth in Nigeria. It analyzes previous literature on the topic which shows mixed findings on the direction of the relationship. The study aims to contribute new evidence on how financial development impacts economic growth in Nigeria using time series data and econometric modeling. Preliminary results suggest a long-run relationship between financial development indicators like bank credit and economic growth as measured by GDP. However, some variables like lending rates did not have the expected effect. The paper concludes with recommendations for policies to strengthen this relationship and foster growth.
Crude oil price, stock price and some selected macroeconomic indicatorsAlexander Decker
This document analyzes the impact of crude oil prices, stock prices, and macroeconomic indicators like interest rates and exchange rates on Nigeria's economic growth from 1980-2010. Using techniques like Johansen cointegration, unit root tests, and error correction modeling, the study finds that crude oil prices, stock prices, and exchange rates have a significant influence on economic growth in Nigeria. Specifically, GDP growth is positively associated with stock prices and exchange rates, but negatively associated with crude oil prices and interest rates. The study recommends that Nigeria diversify its economy away from oil reliance and ensure transparency in financial markets to boost growth.
The study is on the effect of Net capital inflow on inclusive growth in Nigeria. This study seeks to deepen the understanding on how capital inflow creates opportunity for inclusive growth in Nigeria through increase in GDP per capita. The objective of the study were to : determine the effect of Net capital inflow , Net foreign direct investment and trade openness on inclusive growth in Nigeria. The study employed the time series data in its analysis. The period of analysis spanned through 1980-2015 and the dataset required for the analysis were sourced from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Statistical Bulletin and National bureau of statistics publications. The study conducted trend analysis, descriptive analysis. The data were also tested for stationarity using the Augmented Dickey Fuller (ADF) unit root test and Ordinary Least Square (OLS) analytical techniques, cointegration test and error correction mechanism. It was evident from the unit root test that the variables were fractionally integrated while the cointegration test reveals that long run relationship exists among the variables. The findings equally reveal that capital inflow exerts significant negative influence on GDP per capita. This could be attributed to the problem of managing external capital flows which has been sub-optimal in most developing economies including Nigeria. The implication of this finding is that the perceived benefits that are associated with capital inflows tend not to hold sway in Nigeria over the sampled period which may be attributed to institutional and governance failure. Owing to the findings, this study recommends for the adoption of investment friendly policies and ensure transparency and good governance, appropriate economic management practices capable of supporting reforms in the Nigerian financial system and guide international capital inflows to ensure that the associated economic turnarounds are people-centered.

This document summarizes a journal article about the impact of interest rates on the development of emerging markets, using Nigeria as an empirical case study. It acknowledges people who assisted with the research. The abstract indicates that interest rates are difficult to forecast and impact borrowing costs for businesses. While higher rates could encourage savings in the long-run, current high rates in Nigeria of 12% are negatively impacting growth. The literature review discusses how inflation can stimulate or deter human capital formation and how interest rates influence savings, investment, and financial intermediation. It recommends Nigeria adopt pragmatic policies to reduce lending rates to single digits to boost the economy.
FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT AND BALANCE OF PAYMENTS IN LATIN AMERICA (1990-2011)pkconference
This document analyzes foreign direct investment (FDI) and its impact on the balance of payments in Latin America from 1990-2011. It discusses how FDI flows increased in Latin America in the 1990s as the region became reintegrated into the global financial system. However, some authors argue that high levels of FDI may actually constrain economic growth by putting pressure on countries' balance of payments through payments like profits, interest, and royalties sent abroad. The document aims to empirically test this theory using a panel data methodology to determine if GDP growth in Latin America was constrained by balance of payments issues related to FDI inflows.
This document summarizes a study on how the global financial crisis has impacted Bosnia and Herzegovina's financial stability and whether Islamic banking principles could help. The study used interviews and secondary data analysis to address 5 research questions. Results found that Bosnia's dependence on foreign banks, rising unemployment, and debt leave it vulnerable. The study concludes that incorporating aspects of Islamic banking like profit/loss sharing and linking finance to real economic activity could help reduce risk and stabilize Bosnia's financial system over time. More research is still needed to fully evaluate the impacts of applying Islamic financial principles in Bosnia.

This document summarizes a study that empirically assessed the effect of corporate restructuring in Nigeria's banking industry on economic growth from 1990-2009. The study found that foreign direct investment, aggregate capital to the private sector, pre-tax profits for all banks, and number of bank employees significantly influenced economic growth in Nigeria. It recommends that the Central Bank of Nigeria encourage banks to invest profits in the real economy to boost productive capacity and growth. The introduction provides background on banking industry restructuring through mergers and acquisitions in Nigeria and their theoretical drivers of economic growth.
Are there enough resources for financing an Arab Development Transformation?UNDP Policy Centre
The fundamental development challenge in the Arab region is one of economic transformation or, more pertinent, a lack thereof. Heavy sectoral weights of extractive industries lead to dependence on global oil prices, even in oil-producing countries. The structure of production limits employment generation for skilled and semi-skilled labour. Low-skill services and informal activities then absorb the labour force, with corresponding harm to aggregate productivity and living standards. The slow emergence of manufacturing capacities distinguishes the economies of the Arab region from other developing countries. Compared to suitable aggregates or, more poignant, the successful Asian emerging economies, manufacturing exports from the Arab region do not contribute sufficiently to growth. Concurrently, growth is volatile and saving and investment rates are significantly below what is required to undertake this economic transition. This paper by the International Policy Centre for Inclusive Growth (IPC-IG) approaches fiscal space by asking: What barriers to the creation and use of such fiscal space must be removed in order to undertake such a transformation? In posing this question, the paper seeks to clearly demarcate its treatment of the fiscal space issue from that of the fiscal fundamentalist: its concern is to ensure that fiscal space is created

The document outlines the AK model of economic growth proposed by Frankel in 1962 and evaluates its relevance to developing countries like Zimbabwe. The AK model emphasizes capital accumulation and assumes technological progress occurs endogenously through learning by doing. It predicts capital accumulation will increase productivity and growth. The model is relevant for developing countries in promoting industrialization and reducing unemployment. However, it may fail to achieve desired results as it does not consider other important factors like political stability and strong institutions. It is also too general and does not provide specific policy prescriptions tailored to individual country contexts.

The Impact of Oil Price on Economic Development of Kurdistan Region of Iraq f...IJAEMSJORNAL
This article analyzes the impact of oil price on economic development in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq from 1997-2019. It finds that oil price and oil production value have a statistically significant positive relationship with GDP. As the Kurdistan Region relies heavily on oil exports, changes in international oil prices can significantly impact economic growth. The findings suggest economic development in the region is strongly influenced by factors affecting oil prices and production levels. The article concludes more efforts are needed to utilize other resources besides oil revenues to increase income and stabilize the economy.
This document discusses endogenous and exogenous growth theories. Endogenous growth theory views technological progress as endogenous to the economic system and driven by factors like investment in human capital and ideas. Exogenous growth theory sees technology as an external factor determined outside the economic system. The Harrod and Domar models emphasize the role of capital accumulation in driving growth, and define actual, warranted, and natural growth rates. Steady growth requires the actual and warranted rates to be equal, and the natural rate puts an upper limit on growth. Disequilibriums can cause inflation or overproduction.

Comparative analysis between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquapon...bijceesjournal
The aquaponic system of planting is a method that does not require soil usage. It is a method that only needs water, fish, lava rocks (a substitute for soil), and plants. Aquaponic systems are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Its use not only helps to plant in small spaces but also helps reduce artificial chemical use and minimizes excess water use, as aquaponics consumes 90% less water than soil-based gardening. The study applied a descriptive and experimental design to assess and compare conventional and reconstructed aquaponic methods for reproducing tomatoes. The researchers created an observation checklist to determine the significant factors of the study. The study aims to determine the significant difference between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquaponics systems propagating tomatoes in terms of height, weight, girth, and number of fruits. The reconstructed aquaponics system’s higher growth yield results in a much more nourished crop than the traditional aquaponics system. It is superior in its number of fruits, height, weight, and girth measurement. Moreover, the reconstructed aquaponics system is proven to eliminate all the hindrances present in the traditional aquaponics system, which are overcrowding of fish, algae growth, pest problems, contaminated water, and dead fish.

This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.

The proper function of the integrated circuit (IC) in an inhibiting electromagnetic environment has always been a serious concern throughout the decades of revolution in the world of electronics, from disjunct devices to today’s integrated circuit technology, where billions of transistors are combined on a single chip. The automotive industry and smart vehicles in particular, are confronting design issues such as being prone to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Electronic control devices calculate incorrect outputs because of EMI and sensors give misleading values which can prove fatal in case of automotives. In this paper, the authors have non exhaustively tried to review research work concerned with the investigation of EMI in ICs and prediction of this EMI using various modelling methodologies and measurement setups.
DEEP LEARNING FOR SMART GRID INTRUSION DETECTION: A HYBRID CNN-LSTM-BASED MODELgerogepatton
As digital technology becomes more deeply embedded in power systems, protecting the communication
networks of Smart Grids (SG) has emerged as a critical concern. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3)
represents a multi-tiered application layer protocol extensively utilized in Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA)-based smart grids to facilitate real-time data gathering and control functionalities.
Robust Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are necessary for early threat detection and mitigation because
of the interconnection of these networks, which makes them vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks. To
solve this issue, this paper develops a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model specifically designed for intrusion
detection in smart grids. The proposed approach is a combination of the Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) and the Long-Short-Term Memory algorithms (LSTM). We employed a recent intrusion detection
dataset (DNP3), which focuses on unauthorized commands and Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks, to
train and test our model. The results of our experiments show that our CNN-LSTM method is much better
at finding smart grid intrusions than other deep learning algorithms used for classification. In addition,
our proposed approach improves accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, achieving a high detection
accuracy rate of 99.50%.
Using recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) for pavements is crucial to achieving sustainability. Implementing RCA for new pavement can minimize carbon footprint, conserve natural resources, reduce harmful emissions, and lower life cycle costs. Compared to natural aggregate (NA), RCA pavement has fewer comprehensive studies and sustainability assessments.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed in principle to measure the long-run effect of Fixed Capital Formation of the
Non-Oil sector on the economic growth in kingdom of Saudi Arabia and whether the crowding-out of the
current Expenditure to the capital Expenditure in KSA exists. To this end, the author based his research on the
Johansen Co-integration Test, the Error Correction Model (ECM) and the Granger Causality Test. The results
of the study have shown that there's a long-run equilibrium relationship between the growth rate of the Gross
Fixed Capital Formation in Non-oil Sector (NOI) and changes that occur to the growth rate of the Gross
Domestic Product at constant prices in Non-oil Sector (NOGDP). In addition, the study has reached the
conclusion that a long-run change in the growth rate of the Non-oil Gross Fixed Capital Formation (NOI) by
1% will lead to a change in the growth rate of the Non-oil Gross Domestic Product (NOGDP) by 0.169%. The
results made it clear that the relationship between changes in the constant- price NOI growth rate and changes
in the (NOGDP) growth rate in the long run is a direct proportional relationship (the elasticity coefficient is
positive; as the rise in the (NOI)growth rate will result in a rise in the (NOGDP) growth rate and vice versa.
Moreover, the causality test results indicate that there's a two-way causal relationship between the growth rate
of the Gross Fixed Capital Formation in Non-oil Sector (NOI) and changes in the growth rate of the constant-
price GDP in Non-oil Sector(NOGDP). The results confirmed the the existence of crowding –out where the ratio
of current Expenditure reached an average of 72.15% over the period 1974-2014. Capital Expenditure
constituted only 28.85% of the total actual Expenditure for the same period. Usually sizable portion of the
budget is allocated to this current Expenditure to meet an increasing wages and salaries of the public sector
and other payments which asserts the imbalance in relative distribution of current and capital Expenditure
which entails that Saudi authorities should take important decisions to increase the ratio of capital Expenditure
at the expense of the current one specifically on wages and salaries. The researcher has offered a number of
recommendations, among which the most significant ones are: The primary focus of the endeavour to stimulate
and accelerate economic growth rates in the KSA should be based on achieving greater capital accumulation
(i.e. increasing fixed capital formation), which the study proved to have a higher degree of elasticity with
relation to economic growth in the long term, Another important recommendation is the need to direct a greater
deal of government Expenditure in the KSA towards higher investment Expenditure, along with rationalizing
current Expenditure.

I. INTRODUCTION
Achieving a long-term economic growth is considered one of the most important goals sought after by
both developed and developing nations alike. Economic theories differ substantially as to defining the
determinants of economic growth. As the process of economic growth is associated with several economic
variables, then defining the source of growth is highly important for stimulating and maintaining economic
growth through adopting the appropriate economic policies, and initiating the required structural changes.
Consequently, economic growth has become the focus of interest for several economic studies, whether they
were theoretical or empirical studies. Sometimes growth is attributed to the growing exports while at other times
it's attributed to financial development. On the other hand, some models ascribe economic growth to the positive
role of government Expenditure, while others ascribe it to the formation of capital in both government sector
and private sector, among other factors. Given the importance of the formation of fixed capital in non-oil sector
for stimulating economic growth, and the growing role it plays under the policies adopted by the Saudi Arabian

government which aim to diversify income sources and expand production base, the study will examine the
influence of Non-oil Fixed Capital Formation on the long-term economic growth in Saudi Arabia, using the Co-
integration Test. In addition, the study will examine the presence of a short-run relation, and will define the
causal relationship trend, between Non-oil Fixed Capital Formation and economic growth using the Error
Correction Model.
II. THE RESEARCH PROBLEM:
The research problem lies in the attempt to answer the following key question:
What is the long run impact of Non-oil Gross Fixed Capital Formation (NOI) growth rate on the
constant-price Non-oil Gross Domestic Product (NOGDP) growth rate in the KSA?and whether the
crowding-out of the current Expenditure to the capital Expenditure in KSA exists?
In addition to this main question, we may pose several other sub-questions that we deem necessary, as follows:
• What are the most important indicators of progress on the economic growth and the gross fixed capital
formation in the KSA?
• Is there a long run equilibrium relationship between the growth rate of the Non-oil Gross Fixed Capital
Formation (NOI) and the growth rate of the constant-price Non-oil Gross Domestic Product (NOGDP)?
• Does the growth rate of the Non-oil Gross Fixed Capital Formation (NOI) has an influence on the growth
rate of the constant-price Non-oil Gross Domestic Product (NOGDP) in the KSA in the short run?
• What are the proposed policies and measures that should be adopted by the Saudi economic authorities,
through which the study would contribute to stimulating and sustaining economic growth, and bringing
about the structural changes required to diversify sources of income and expand production base in the
KSA?
III. THE RESEARCH OBJECTIVES
By answering these questions, the study endeavours to achieve the following goals:
• To recognize the most important indicators of progress for the fixed capital formation and the economic
growth in the KSA.
• To define the impact of the growth rate of the Non-oil Gross Fixed Capital Formation (NOI) on the the
growth rate of the Non-oil Gross Domestic Product (NOGDP) at constant prices in the KSA in the long run.
• To define the impact of the growth rate of the Non-oil Gross Fixed Capital Formation (NOI), in the long
run, on the growth rate of the Non-oil Gross Domestic Product (NOGDP) at constant prices in the KSA in
the short run.
• and whether the crowding-out of the current Expenditure to the capital Expenditure in KSA exists?
• To offer a set of suggested procedures and policies that must be adopted by the economic authorities in the
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, through which the study seeks to contribute to the endeavor to achieve the
structural changes required to diversify the sources of income, and to expand the production base and the
investment base in order to stimulate and maintain economic growth in the KSA.
IV. THE THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
Economists have had great interest in searching for the key determinants of economic growth. In his
‘The General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money’, Keynes asserts that investment, rather than saving,
is the engine of economic growth. Moreover, Keynes believes that planned investment isn't equal to saving, and
that income is the variable that strikes a balance between the two. He also attributes the occurrence of economic
cycles to the fluctuations in the marginal efficiency of capital. Proceeding from the Keynesian assumption that
investment equals savings within a closed economy, whereas growth in the model developed by
Harrod(Harrod,1939:pp.14-33),and Domar (Domar, 1946: pp. 47-137), is related directly to savings, and
indirectly to the output-capital ratio, on the assumption that there’re no substitutions between factors of
production; in case there exists positive saving, it would include investment, the thing which expands the
productive capacity of the economy. However, Harrod-Domar's assumption that the output-capital ratio is
constant was unacceptable for a number of economists, including the 'Neoclassical' economists who haven’t
assumed a constant output-capital ratio. The Solow growth model (Solow, 1596: pp. 65-94) is considered one of
the most well-known neoclassical models which assume that the economy tend to ultimately get close to a
steady-state growth rate. The Solow model also assumes that there is a potential for substitution between factors
of production, that laboursupply grows at a constant rate and that savingis a portion of revenue that is to be
invested. Instead of assuming a fixed output-capital ratio, Solow used a linear homogeneous production function
that allows for substitution between capital and labour. The neoclassical models are different from Harrod-
Domar's model. Besides not presuming a fixed output to capital ratio, the neoclassical modelsassume that higher
savings rates will lead to a higher income per capita, but they won't lead to a permanent increase in the
economic growth rates. Therefore, macroeconomic policies may influence individual income, but it

don'tinfluence the long-run growth rate. In general, the neoclassical models consider that the rise of population
at a constant rate is an important determinant of growth with regard to real individual incomes. Furthermore,
these models usually focus on the importance of technology advancement to compensate for the negative effects
of diminishing marginal productivity of capital, hence determining long-run growth.
Then came the theorists who developed the Endogenous Growth Theory; particularly Lucas (Lucas,
1988: pp. 3-32) and Romer, (Romer, 1986: pp. 1003-1037), who introduced dynamic models of growth that
concentrate on technological advancement; as growth according to this theory depends on the stock of physical
and human capital, as well as the level of research and development.
Modern theories of economic growth can be divided into two categories:
First: Research and development models, which agree with the Solow model in their focus on
knowledge accumulation as a determinant of economic growth, and on the method of knowlede production as
afactor of production, and their definition of the determinants of allocating the resources needed for knowledge
production.
Second: Physical & human capital accumulation models, which conflict with the Solow model in their
focus on explaining effective labour, and their emphasis on the importance of physical & human capital
accumulation, which have major effects on economic growth(Suzan, 2013: pp.104-127).
Below we are going to explain modern growth theories in some detail:
First: Reseach and Development Models (Knowledge Accumulation)
In these models, Romerstatedthat all types of knowledge share a common characteristic as they’re all
non- competing and they aren’t fully subject to market forces. The research and development models were
developed by (Aghion, Phelippe and Howitt, 1992: pp. 323-351) the research and development models are
based on the fact that effective labour (knowledge/ high technology) is a determinant of economic growth, and
that it is considered as a given (endogenous) variable (Romer, 1990: pp. 1187 – 1211).
The determinants of growth in the knowledge accumulation models are:
A- The growing returns of capital and labour
The knowledge production function presumes that there is a potential to increase returns on the factors
of production. The greater the allocations devoted to research, development and production inputs (capital and
labour) are, the higher positive effects on the rate of economic growth there will be. The function also presumes
that the population growth rate and the savings rate are exogenous and fixed variables (just as in the
assumptions of the Solow model), i.e.:
-K'(t)=SY(t) , l(t)=nL(t) n≥ o
However, the models of knowledge accumulation are different form the Solow model in that the former
consider knowledge and capital as endogenously growing (self-growing) variables. On the assumption that the
stock of fixed capital is constant, then the rate of economic growth in that case will be determined by the stock
of knowledge (A), i.e.:
gA(t)=B ay

A(t) Ø - 1
The knowledge growth rate (A g) depends on the attitude of human capital accumulation and
knowledge accumulation (Ly AØ - 1
). Thus, knowledge growth rate will decrease if the rate of new knowledge
growth is less than one whole, and it will increase if it is more than that. When both the knowledge growth rate
and the new knowledge growth rate are on a par, then an equilibrium state is reached. In this case, the stock of
knowledge and the national economic growth both increase at a constant rate, and consequently the state of
economic equilibrium is achieved.
(B) The Fixed Capital Stock
Upon introducing the capital factor into the model, there will be two self-growing variables (labour and
capital); and on the assumption that these two factors are growing and the production function is used, then the
new capital stock in the economy will be K'(t), which is equivalent to:
K'(t)=S(1-ak)oc
(1-aL)1- oc
k(t)oc
A(t)1- oc
L(t)1- oc
And the increase in the capital stock gk(t) equals:
gk(t)= k/
(t)/k(t) = ck(A(t)L(t)/K(t) 1- oc
i.e. the change in the increase rate of fixed capital stock (gk) depends on the attitude of the capital
coefficient for skilled labour(AL/K) which equals (gA+n-gk) (knowledge growth rate + population growth rate
+ capital stock growth rate). If the value of this function is positive, the capital stock increase rate will be rising.
If negative, it will be diminishing. If zero, it will be static, and it will be equivalent to the knowledge stock
growth rate (A) in this case. Moreover, the knowledge stock growth rate, ga(t), equals:
gA(t)=AK(t) B
L(t) y
A(t) Ø - 1
The change in the stock of knowledge growth rate g(A), depends on the value of the function :

Knowledge growth rate rises if it's a positive value, it decreases if it's a negative value, and it becomes static
when the value is zero.
Second: Physical & Human Capital Accumulation Models
According to these models, the determinants of economic growth are:
A- Stocks of physical and human capital. To examine the influence of human capital and natural capital
on economic growth, we use the Cobb–Douglas production function, in the same way as in the Solow model.
The outcome is calculated as follows:
Y(t)=k(t)oc
H(t)B
(A(t) L(t))1-oc-B
Whereas α>0 0<B , α +B<1 ,
i.e. economic growth is determined by the stock of human capital (H) and the volume of employment
(L), while the returns of production factors (LKH) are assumed to be constant, and the technology advancement
is constant and out of the model (the Solow model assumptions). The dynamics of physical capital can be
derived, taking human capital into consideration, using this function:
y(t)=k(t) oc
h(t) B
where the capital coefficient for knowledge equals: K=K/AL, and the human capital coefficient for knowledge
equals: h=H/AL, and the output coefficient for knowledge equals: Y/AL, consequently the fixed capital stock
K(t) is:
K(t)=(sk/(n+g)) 1/(1-α)
K1-α
=(sk/(n+g))hB
As the stock of physical capital is an increasing function of h ,the stock of human capital will be as follows:
H(t)=sHK(t)α
, h(t)B
- (n+g)h(t) , SHK α
hB
=(n+g)h
K= ((n+g)/ SH)1/α
h(1-B)/α
i.e. the human capital stock is determined by the value of physical capital, human capital, technology
and labour (KHAL). In a state of equilibrium the growth rate will be constant for the output and for the stocks of
fixed physical capital and human capital, and it will be increasing at a rate equivalent to the output growth rate,
whichis equivalent to (n+g).
B- The Effect of Savings Rate:
The increase in the savings rate will lead to an increase in the net capital stock, and the economy will
be moving towards a new state of equilibrium, which results in human capital stock growing until a new
equilibrium point (E) is reached. The output per labour unit (Y/L) is equivalent to: A (Y/AL) which is AK α
h B
;
The output increases as a result of increased knowledge stock (A) and technology advancement (Al),
and with growing human and physical capital (Kh), as a result of increased savings rate, the growth rate will
consequently increase at a higher rate than (g) until the economy reaches the new equilibrium, and economic
growth will be achieved at a constant rate (g) and the physical and capital stocks will rise at a constant rate; i.e.
the increase in the savings rate leads to a temporary rise in the economic growth rate (almost the same effects as
in the Solow model). In a state of equilibrium, the net stocks of physical capital and human capital are equal,
and they are equal to zero, i.e. (Romer, 1990: pp. 1187 – 1211):
sk k*α
h*B
= (n+g)
K*
Sk K*α
h* B
= (n+g)h
Iny*=(α/1-α-B)insk+(B/1-α-B)insH-(α + B/1 α B)in(n+g)
where B denotes to the output elasticity of human capital. The elasticity of the factors of production can
be estimated (like the production function in the Solow model); then a change in the savings rate and in the
population growth rate will lead to a change in the logarithm of equilibrium output for a unit of labour:
iny*s.low=(α/1-α)insk-(α/1-α) in (n+g)

VI. THE PROGRESS OF ECONOMIC GROWTH AND GROSS FIXED CAPITAL
FORMATIONIN THE KSA
1. Economic Growth Progress in the KSA
The rate of growth in the constant-price GDP is one of the most important parameters used to measure
the economic performance. The most key developments in economic growth in the KSA can be demonstrated
using the data included in the 51st
Annual Report of the Saudi Arabian Monetary Agency.Through the data
included in the said report, referred to in Table (1) attached hereto, and through Figures (1), (2) & (3), we come
to the following conclusions:
- That the growth rate of the constant-price GDP (1999=100) in the KSA amounted to 4.32 % as a general
average for the period (1974-2014). It's also notable that the same rate was negative in many years during
the study period, especially during the 1980s, due to the large fluctuations in the real oil prices during this
period (according to the 2005 prices), as it decreased from 76.09 US dollars per barrel in the early 1980s to
21.47 US dollars per barrel in the late 1980s. It's a known fact that oil, since it was commercially discovered
in the KSA in the 1920s, has kept playing a strategically important role in the Saudi economy. Oil
contributes to the Gross domestic Product, the national income, the overall exports and the national budget.
In addition, oil leads the economic development in the country, as its revenues constitute the major resource
allocated for financing the country’s comprehensive development programs. In conclusion, the Saudi
economy heavily relies on oil, being an oil-based economy in the first place; cosequently, oil revenues
provide the Saudi budget with a key portion of its resources, and they help build up monetary reserves for
the national economy.
- The growth rate of the constant-price GDP in the non-oil sector(1999=100) amounted to 6.18 % as a
general average for the period (1974-2014). It's also notable that the value of the growth rate was negative
in a number of years during the study period, which is attributed, as we previously noted, to fluctuations in
the real oil prices. The percentage ratio of the constant-price GDP in the non-oil sector to the constant-price
GDP amounted to 64.9% as a general average for the period (1974-2014).

2. Progress of the Non-oil Gross Fixed Capital Formation in Saudi Arabia
Given the great importance of the gross fixed capital formation in stimulating economic growth in the
KSA, and given the growing role it plays under the Saudi government’s policies aimed at diversifying sources
of national income and expanding the country’s production base, the researcher hereinafter is going to deal with
the development of the fixed capital formation in the non-oil sector based on the data included in the 51st
Annual
Report issued by the Saudi Arabian Monetary Agency. From the data contained in the said report, which is
displayed in Table (2) in the attachments section, and also through figures (4) and (5), it becomes clear that the
growth rate of fixed capital formation in non-oil sector (NOI) amounted to 9.86%, as a general average for the
period (1975-2014), while the same rate is noted to have a negative value for many years during the study
period. This can be attributed, as mentioned before, to the extreme fluctuations in the real oil pricesdurig the
period, as the oil sector is overdominating the macroeconomic scene and the financial statements in the KSA.

3. The crowding-out of current Expenditure upon capital Expenditure in the Public Budget
The crowding-out of current Expenditure to capital Expenditure of the KSA public budget can be
showed via relative importance of current Expenditure and capital Expenditure to the total actual Expenditure of
the kingdom, since KSA has non-diversified economic structure depends on oil revenues, its general budget has
been subject to instances of instability due to revenue volatility caused by fluctuations in oil prices. This, in turn,
has led to changes and fluctuations in government Expenditure, whether it was capital Expenditure or current
Expenditure, as the KSA faced many challenges over decades with regard to the process of financial risk
management, due to the dominance of the oil sector over the country's macroeconomic affairs and financial

accounts. The relative importance of the actual capital Expenditures compared to the country's total actual
Expenditures in the KSA can be demonstrated, in conformity with the data containedin the 51st
annual report
issued by the Saudi Arabian Monetary Agency. From the data included in that report, and referred to in Table
(3) in the attachments section herein, and also from figures (6) & (7), it becomes clear that despite the
importance of investment Expenditure in the long-run influence on the economy, and in creating an effective,
productive and diversified economy; unfortunately, we find that the percentage ratio of the actual capital
Expenditures to the country's total actual Expenditure amounted to 27.85 % only, as a general average for the
period (1974-2014), whereas the percentage ratio of the actual capital Expenditures to the country's total actual
Expenditures amounted to 72.15 % as a general average for the same period. Usually, a large portion of these
Expenditures is allocated for payment of the growing salaries and wages in the public sector, among other
payables.

VII. MODELS AND METHODOLOGY:
In the present study, the researcher analyses the relationship between the Non-oil Gross Fixed Capital
Formation (NOI) growth rate and the constsnt-price Non-oil GDP (NOGDP) growth rate in the KSA, using the
Johansen Co-integration Test, the Error Correction Model (ECM) and the Granger Causality Test, in order to
define and calculate the relationship between the two variables in the long run, using the E-VIEWS.7 statistical
package. The paper relies on the time-series annual data of the (NOI) growth rates and the (NOGDP) growth
rates in the KSA during the period (1974-2014) issued by the Saudi Arabian Monetary Agency. In our study of
the relationship between the formation of fixed capital in the non-oil sector and the economic growth in the
KSA, we will employ the following quantitative tools:
- As for the independent variable, it is: the Non-oil Gross Fixed Capital Formation (NOI) growth rate.
- As for the dependent variable, it is: the Non-oil GDP (NOGDP) growth rate (1999=100).
- Applying the Johansen Cointegration test and the Error Correction Model (ECM) with the purpose of
testing the long-run and short-run relationship between the formation of fixed capital in the non-oil sector
and the economic growth in Saudi Arabia, after proving the presence of a co-integration relation, in order to
study the long and short run equilibrium relationship between the two variables. The co-integration analysis
is intended to define the real relation between the study variables in the long run, unlike the other classical
statistical models. That said, the notion of co-integration is based on the idea that in the short run the two
time series of the independent variable and the dependent variable may be non-stationary but they tend to
integrate in the long run; meaning that there exists a long run steady relation between the two variables,
called a co-integration relationship. To express the relationships between these different non-stationary
8. Measuring the Effect of Fixed Capital Formation in the Non-oil Sector on Economic Growth and…
www.ijbmi.org 8 | Page
variables, the issue of non-stationarity must be overcome in the first place through performing the unit root
tests and using the error correction models. The stages of the co-integration analysis can be demonstrated as
follows: In the first stage, the Unit Roots test is performed in order to recognize how far the time series used
in the research are stationary. To avoid spurious results caused by non-stationarity of the variables, we’ll
conduct the Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) test, the Phillips-Perron (PP) test and the Kwiatkowski
Phillips Schmidt Shin (KPSS) test. After proving that the two series of the study variables are stationary and
have the same rank order; we then, in the second stage, perform the co-integration tests on the variables
using the Engle- Granger method or the Johansen test (in addition to the Gragner Causality Test required by
that test). In the third stage of the analysis procedure, we use the Error Correction Model (ECM) to know
when the series approach equilibrium in the long run, and to recognize the short run dynamic changes on
the series; i.e. that test has the power to examine and estimate the long run and short run relationship
between the variables included in the model, and it also has the ability to evade the problemofspurious
correlation (William, 2003: p.654).
Now, we’ll proceed forward to demonstrate the methodological procedures adopted in the empirical
analysis:
1. The Unit Roots Test:
To decide onthe non-stationarity characteristics for the variables’ time series in their levels, or in their first
differences, the Dickey-Fuller (DF) test, or the Augmented Dickey- Fuller test, is employed, with or without the
"time trend". The equation of the DF test is:
As for the Augmented Dickey-Fuller test (ADF), it is evolved from the (DF) test, with the addition of
the "lagged values" of the dependent variables included in the estimation of the mathematical formula of (DF).
The ADF equation is:
Although this test is widely used in econometric analyses, it still suffers from some issues, as it doesn't
take the problem of heteroscedasticity and the normal distribution test into consideration; therefore, an
additional test is employed to test the presence of a unit root, i.e. the Phillips- Perron (PP) test, which has a
better and more accurate testing power than the ADF test. That is especially the case when the sample size is
small and when (DF) results are contradictory and inconsistent. The mathematical formula of the PP test is:
: Δ stands for the first difference
The critical values (t) for the null hypothesis test in all the above tests depend on the MacKinnon (1991) values
(Patterson, 2002: p.265) (In general, the (ADF) test and (PP) test are used in the unit roots test). This test starts
from the following basic relation: , (Patterson, 2002: p.267).
2. The Johansen Cointegration Test:
This test is much more reliable than the Engle- Granger test because it better fits small samples, and it’s
also more suitable when the independent variables are more than one. This test can discover existence of unique
co-integration i.e. the co-integration exists only in case of dependent variable regressed on independent
variables. This is important in the theoryofcoi-ntegrationbecausein case of none existence of unique co-
integration, the long run equilibrium relationship between the variables will still be suspected and questionable.
The existence of long run equilibrium is tested between the two stationary series from the same rank
order, in spite of the presence of disequilibrium in the short run –such test can be done via the Johansen method
and the Johansen &Juselius method, which are usually used in the models that have more than two variables,
end even they’re better in case of two variable models, because they allow for mutual influence across different
variables under study. Such advantage presumably doesn’texist in the Engle –Granger two-step method.
The "Johansen" and "Johansen and Juselius" methodology is designed to test the rank of matrix II. The
presence of a co-integration between the time series requires a non-full rank matrix II ( 0 < r () = r < ).In
order to determine the number of co integrating vectors, two statistical tests based on the Likelihood Ratio Test
(LR) are used; i.e. the Trace Test ( trace
) and the Maximum Eigenvalues Test ( max
).
The Trace Test is defined as: )log(
1
n
ri
itrace
T
9. Measuring the Effect of Fixed Capital Formation in the Non-oil Sector on Economic Growth and…
www.ijbmi.org 9 | Page
The null hypothesis that the number of co-integration vectors is ≤ r is tested versus the alternative hypothesis
that co-integration vectors = r (where r =0,1,2). The Maximum Eigenvalue Test is defined as:
)1(logmax i
T
The null hypothesis that the number of co-integration vectors = r is tested against the alternative hypothesis that
the co-integration vectors = r + 1. (Elkadeer, 1425: p.198).
3. The Error Correction Model (ECM):
If YtXtwere co-integrated asper definitionut~I(0), hence the relationship between YtXt can be expressed inthe
error correction model as follows:
∆Yt = a0 + b1∆Xt − πut−1 + et
The advantage of the above model is that it contains all information about long run and short run
relationship. In this modelb1is the double (short run) effect which measures the short run immediate impact of
changes inXt on changes inYt. On the other hand, the πis the reaction effect or adaptation effect which explain
how much of disequilibrium will be corrected- that’s the extent to which any equilibrium from the period before
correctionaffectsYt.
Of course:
ut−1 = Yt−1 − β1
− β2
Xt−1
whereβ2
stands for the long-run response.
The error correction model is preferred to the Engle Granger model as it separates the long run
relationship from the short run one. Moreover, it has better characteristics in case of small samples. The
estimated parameter in the model is more consistent than in other models as Engle- Granger (1987) and
Johansen (1988). To test the extent to which co-integration exists between variables under ECM, Pesaran (2001)
introduced a modern approach for testing how far a (short run/ long run) equilibrium relationship exists between
variables under ECM, which can be implemented whether the explanatory variables are integrated of order zero
I (0) or of order one I (1) ,or whether they are co-integrated of the same order. In addition, this approach can be
implemented in case of small samples unlike the previous classical methods In effect, this model can be applied
only if the Johansen co-integration test succeeds. (William, 2003, p654).
4. The Gragner Causality Test:
Gragner(1988) stated that if there are two co-integrated time series, there must be one-way causal
relation at least between them. According to Granger, a change in (Xt) must cause a change in another variable
(Yt); i.e. (XtYt) that's when prediction of Yt's current values based on Yt's past values is better compared to
its current value prediction without using past values.Thisimplies that changes in Xt precedes changes in Yt. In
order to measure causalityin the short run between terms of trade and current account, the following formula of
the Granger's Causality method was used:
Yt = αiYt-i+ ΣβjXt-j+Ut
Ho :j o (X Y)
HA :j o (X Y)(Engle & Granger,1987)
VIII. ANALYSIS AND TEST RESULTS:
1. Stationary test for the two time series of the independent and dependent variables:
First: Using the Augmented Dickey-Fuller Test (ADF):
A- As for the independent variable (NOI): It is clear from table (1) that the unit root for the time series of
(NOI) has been tested in its levels (before taking the first difference) using the Augmented Dickey-Fuller
Test (ADF). The test results reveal the non-existence of unit root, as the ADF Test Statistic calculated value
(-4.323384) is more than the Critical Value (-2.933158) at 5% level of significance. This means rejection of
null hypothesis; 0
H i.e. rejection of time series non-stationararity for (NOI);andhence we reject the null
hypothesis and consequently the (NOI) variable is stationary.
B- As for the dependent variable (NOGDP): It's clear from table (1) that on testing the unit root for the variable
(NOGDP) time series in the level, the test results clarified the existence of unit root, as the ADF Test
Statistic calculated value (-2.764405) is less than the Critical Value (-2.933158) at 5% level of significance
i.e. acceptance of the null hypothesis 0
H
, i.e. accepting non-stationarity of the time series for the (NOGDP)
variable. After we take the first difference and repeat the test again, the results show that unit root doesn't
exist, as the calculated ADF Test Statistic value (-6.201130) is greater than the Critical Value (-2.935001)
at 5% level of significance and hence we reject the null hypothesis 0
H
i.e. rejecting non-stationarity of the

Second: Using Phillips–Perron(PP) Test:
A- As for the independent variable (NOI) : It is clear from table (2) that the unit root for the time series of
(NOI) has been tested in its levels (before taking the first difference) using the Phillips-Perron Test (PP).
Test results reveal non-presence of unit root, as the PP Test Statistic value (-22.90721) is more than the
Critical Value (-2.936942) at 5% level of significance. This means rejection of null hypothesis; 0
H i.e.
rejection of time series non-stationarity for the (NOI) variable; and hence the (NOI) variable series is
stationary and steady in its level. This confirms results reached by using the Dickey-Fuller test with relation
to the independent variable (NOI).
B- As for the dependent variable (NOGDP): It is clear from table (2) that the unit root for the time series of
(NOGDP) has been tested in its levels (before taking the first difference). Test results reveal non-presence
of unit root, as the PP Test Statistic value (-6.791470) is more than the Critical Value (-2.938987) at 5%
level of significance. This means rejection of null hypothesis; 0
H
i.e. rejection of time series non-
stationarity for the (NOGDP) variable; and hence the (NOGDP) variable series is stationary and steady in
its level.

2. The Johansen Cointegration Test:
After conducting the stationary tests on the time series under study, the results revealed stationarity of
the data in the first difference.When we conducted the co-integration test using the Johansen method, the results
included in table (3) in the first row denote rejection of the null hypothesis 0
H
i.e., rejection of non-presence of
co-integration between the two variables (NOGDP) and (NOI ) as the Trace Satistic calculated value (35.62943)
is more than the Critical Value (15.49471) at 5% level of significance; which means that there's co-integration
between the two variables (NOGDP) and (NOI). Moreover, the data in the second row denote the presence of
two equations that achieve co-integration between the study variables; as the Trace Statistic calculated value
(10.38684) is more than the Critical Value (3.841466), at 5% level of significance.
From the above, we conclude that there exists a long run equilibrium relationship between the growth
rate of Non-oil Gross Fixed Capital Formation(NOI) and the constant-price Non-oil GDP growth rate in the
KSA. The results of the study reflect the great importance of fixed capital formation as a key stimulator and
catalyst of economic growth in the KSA. These results are in agreement with what is stated by Keynes in his
general theory of employment, interest and money; and also they are consistent with the concepts put forward
by those who developed the endogenous growth theory, in particular Lucas(Lucas, 1988: PP. 3-32) and Romer
(Romer, 1986: PP. 1003-1037).Lucas and Romer introduced dynamic models of growth that focus on
technological advancement, the stocks of physical and human capital, and the level of research and

development. However, despite the importance of investment Expenditure in terms of its long-term influence on
supporting the economy, and on creating an effective, productive and diversified economy, we nonetheless find
that the percentage ratio of the KSA’s actual capital Expenditures to the country's total actual Expenditures only
amount to 27.85%, as a general average for the period (1974-2014); while the percentage ratio of the KSA’s
actual current Expenditures to the country's total actual Expenditures is 72.15% as a general average for the
same period. A large portion of these current Expenditures is often allocated to settle growing salaries and
wages in the public sector, besides settling other current payables.

3. The Error Correction Model: The error correction model
After the variables under study have been subjected to the unit roots tests, which proved that the
variable series are stationary after taking their first differences; thenperformingthe co- integration tests, which
revealed that a co-integration is present, the following step in the analysis procedure is derived from the Engle
and Granger methodology, which includes designing an error correction model, as demonstrated in Table (4).
The results in the table show the following:
1. From the results, we note the model's acceptable explanatory power, as the value Adj. R-squared amounts
to 67.2 %, meaning that 67.2% of the variations in the dependent variable can be explained by changes in
the independent variable. The results also show that the F- statistic 28.3018 is significant at level 5%,
meaning that the model as a whole is significant and has an explanatory power.
2. There exists a long-run equilibrium relationship between the Non-oil Gross Fixed Capital Formation (NOI)
growth rate and the change that may occur in the constant-price Non-oil Gross Domestic Product
(NOGDP); as the results reveal that the elasticity coefficient of the variable (NOI) in the long run is
equivalent to 0.169585, which means that a change in the NOI growth rate in the long run by 1% will lead
to a change in the NOGDP growth rate by 0.169%.
3. Also, the long run results show that the relationship between change in the Non-oil Gross Fixed Capital
Formation (NOI) growth rate and change in the constant-price Non-oil GDP (NOGDP) is directly
proportional (elasticity coefficient is positive); consequently, a rise in the NOI growth rate leads to a rise in
the NOGDP growth rate and vice versa.
4. On the other hand, the results indicate that in the short run a change in the (NOI) growth rate by 1% will
lead to a very minimal change in the (NOGDP) growth rate by -0.02%. These results can be explained by
the response lag between the independent variable (NOI) and the dependent one (NOGDP), as the economic
return on investment in fixed capital formation (i.e. producing a GDP increase) isn't directly demonstrated
in the short run; however, such return is demonstrated clearly in the long run.
5. As for the equilibrium correction factor, it equals (-0.155) indicating that if any disequilibrium occurred
between dependent and independent variables, then within a period that is equivalent to (1/-0.155) six years
and a half approximately, the variables would go back to their equilibrium state again.
These resultsreflect the importance of fixed capital formation as a key stimulator and catalyst of
economic growth in the KSA. They are in agreement with what is argued by Keynes that investment is the key
engine of economic growth. Moreover, the results are consistent with the conclusions of Schultz and Backer
(Backer, 1990: pp.64-89)، in which it’s revealed that physical and human capital is considered of the most
important determinants of economic growth. Furthermore, the findings of the study are in harmony with those
reached by thedevelopers of the ‘endogenous growth theory’, particularly Lucas(Lucas, 1988: pp.3-32)) and
Romer(Romer, 1986: pp.1003-1037), who have introduced dynamic models of growth in which economic
growth relies on the stock of physical and human capital, as well as on the level of research and development.
However, unfortunately, despite the importance of investment Expenditure, the percentage of the actual capital
Expenditurein the KSA amounted to 27.85% only of the country's total actual Expenditure, as a general average

for the period (1974-2014), while the percentage of the actual current Expenditure amounted to 72.15% of the
country’s total actual Expenditure, as a general average for the same period.

4. The Granger Causality Test
After performing stationarity, co-integration and error correction tests, we reach the last step in the
econometric analysis procedure adopted in this paper; i.e. conducting the Granger Causality Test in order to
know whether there is a causal relationship between change in (NOI)and change in (NOGDP). The test result
included in Table (5) demonstrated the following:
1- Rejection of the null hypothesis 0
H
in the first row; meaning that a change in the (NOI) growth rate will
cause a change in the (NOGDP) growth rate.
2- Rejection of the null hypothesis 0
H
in the second row; meaning that a change in the (NOGDP) growth rate
will cause a change in the (NOI) growth rate.
3- The above means that there is a two-way causal relation from(NOI) to (NOGDP) and from (NOGDP) to
(NOI).
The author explains the interactive relation between the two variables of the study; (NOI) and
(NOGDP), by stating that theFixed Capital Formation assumes a substantial role in stimulating economic
growth, which is consistent with several studies previously referred to herein. In addition, the increase in
economic growth rates plays an important role in increasing incomes, and consequently increasing saving rates;
hence increasing investment and capital formation potentials.

IX. CONCLUSIONS
- The results of the study assert that there's a long-run equilibrium relationship between the growth rate of the
Gross Fixed Capital Formation in Non-oil Sector (NOI) and changes to the growth rate of the constant-price
Gross Domestic Product in Non-oil Sector (NOGDP).
- The study arrived at the conclusion that a long run change in the (NOI) growth rate by 1% will eventually
lead to a change in the (NOGDP) growth rate by 0.169% .
- Moreover, the study results reveal that, in the long run, the relationship between changes in the (NOI)
growth rate and changes in the (NOGDP ) growth rate is a direct proportional relationship (the elasticity
coefficient is positive); as any rise in the (NOI) growth rate will result in a rise in the (NOGDP) growth rate
and vice versa.
- As for the equilibrium correction factor, it equals (-0.155), which indicates that if any disequilibrium
occurred between dependent and independent variables, then within a period equivalent to (1/-0.155) six
years and a half approximately, the variables will go back to their equilibrium state again.
- On the other hand, the results indicate that, in the short run, a change in the (NOI) growth rate by 1% will
eventually lead to a very minimal change in the (NOGDP) growth rate by -0.02%. This finding can be
explained by the response lag between the independent variable (NOI) and the dependent one (NOGDP), as
the economic return on investment in fixed capital formation (i.e. producing a GDP increase) isn't directly
demonstrated in the short run; however such return is demonstrated clearly in the long run.
- In addition, the results of the tests performed have shown that there's a two-way causal relationship between
the growth rate of the Gross Fixed Capital Formation in Non-oil Sector (NOI) and changes to the growth
rate of the constant-price Gross Domestic Product in Non-oil Sector (NOGDP), as any change in one of the
two variables will cause a change in the other one.
- The previous analysis revealed the existence of crowding –out where the ratio of current Expenditure
reached an average of 72.15% over the period 1974-2014.
- Capital Expenditure constituted only 28.85% of the total actual Expenditure for the same period. Usually
sizable portion of the budget is allocated to this current Expenditure to meet an increasing wages and
salaries of the public sector and other payments which asserts the imbalance in relative distribution of
current and capital Expenditure which entails that Saudi authorities should take important decisions to
increase the ratio of capital Expenditure at the expense of the current one specifically on wages and salaries.
X. RECOMMENDATIONS
- The primary focus of anyendeavour to stimulate and increase the economic growth rates in the KSA must
be based mainly on achieving higher capital accumulations (through increased fixed capital formation)
which, as the study has proved, have a high degree of elasticity with relation to the long-term economic
growth, in addition to the significant positive relationship that is proved to exist between the two; therefore,
it will be most advisable to adopt the conclusions reached by the study in this regard.
- One of the important decisions to decrease the crowding-out of current to capital Expenditure is to redirect
public Expenditure in KSA to capital Expenditure and rationing the current especially on wages and salaries
which comprise bounces and incentives and other obligations.
- Moreover, another important recommendation concentrates on the need to direct more government
Expenditure in the KSA towards investment Expenditure, while rationalizing current Expenditures at the
same time.
- Shedding light upon investment opportunities in the KSA in all mass media channels, besides organizing
national and international conferences and forums to attract investors through showcasing available
opportunities of investment and explaining the incentive system offered to investors.
- Developing a long-term investment strategy thatwouldspecifyrecommendedareasof investment, and divide
the KSA into investment regions, according to what is laid out in the development plans and to the
requirements of each investment region, without concentrating investments into a certain particular region.
- Establishing centers for research and development in line with the highest standards applied in the
developed countries. In addition, alliances should be forged with universities and specialized academic
institutions to find solutions for the problems facing the industrial sector. Furthermore, it’s highly
recommended tosetup research and development units in every company and factory.

- Givinggreater advantages, incentives and tax cuts to investment projects that meet the following criteria:
• The importance of the project to the national economy and the extent to which it contributes to the
diversification of the structure of economy.
• The extent to which the project relies on, employs and trains national manpower.
• The level of high technology the project intends to introduce into the country.
• The project's expected capability to fulfill domestic needs and its anticipated volume of exports.
