Abstract : ECONOMIC GROWTH IN THE CONTEXT OF KNOWLEDGE ECONOMYS INDICATORS IN SAUDI ARABIA KHADEEJA AWWADH ZAIED AL-OTAIBI Supervised By Dr. ABLA ABDUL HAMEED BOKHARI ABSTRACT Knowledge is increasingly needed under so-called the new economy or the knowledge economy, whose pillars consist of the knowledge, scientific and technical components of the societies. These collectively represent the indicators of the knowledge economy. With the Saudi Arabian movement to a future transformation into a knowledge society, this study aims to examine the impact of knowledge economy indicators on the economic growth of Saudi Arabia during the period 1989-2015. The study is analyzing the relationship between the knowledge economy’s indicators and economic growth using the multiple linear regression model, cointegration approach of the autoregressive distributed lag model (ARDL), and the Error Correction model (ECM). The results -using the logarithmic function- show that 97% of changes in GDP were due to changes in the knowledge economy’s indicators. A long-run relationship is existed between GDP and the independent variables (gross enrollment ratio of higher education, total patent applications, and trade exchange). Whilst, the mobile phone subscriptions have a significant negative relationship with economic growth. A long-run equilibrium integration-according to the ARDL model- is found between GDP and the indicators of knowledge economy. Consequently, the study recommends the need to develop the society by knowledge and science through education and training, supporting creativity and innovation. This is in addition to the expansion of information and communication technology, with a special focus on employing technology for productive purposes, in a way that supports the countrys movement towards the knowledge society via the knowledge economy and its contribution to economic growth.
