دالة الاستهلاك في الاقتصاد السعودي : دراسة قياسية (1970-1989)‎

الملخص EN

Consumption forms a major part of gross national product, and is positively and significantly affected by its changes.

Many economic studies were devoted to define the relation between consumption and GNP, and Econometric tests were performed to explain consumption behavior across countries and over different time periods.

The present study attempts to define the consumption patterns in the Saudi Economy and applies various consumption theories to actual Saudi data for the period 1970-1989.

The results are analyzed and we find the best support for the relative explanation of consumption behavior.
