This thesis examines the diversification of the economy Saudi Arabia. In carrying out this study, the net export and the construction of the Herfindahl Hirschman Index (HHI) in determining the measures of export concentration were included in the control variables while real GDP represent the dependent variable. A restricted Vector auto-regression model based on ARDL bounds testing approach to co-integration was adopted to investigate the present of long run equilibrium relationship among the variables. The finding shows a long run relationship among the variables and based on this, diversification will impact the economy of Saudi Arabia positively.enThis item is made available by Morgan State University for personal, educational, and research purposes in accordance with Title 17 of the U.S. Copyright Law.
