This article presents a general equilibrium model capable of assessing the impact of foreign price shocks on the real side of the oil-based developing economies. The theoretical model departs from previous work in this area at least in that (1) the model takes into account endogenous income and...

The empirical estimates for the money demand function reported here are based on quarterly time series for Saudi Arabia for the period 1962/I to 1981/IV. The money demand function estimated in this article is novel in that it takes into account the potential effect of external monetary and...

This article investigates empirically the determinants of inflation in Saudi Arabia using the quarterly time‐series data over the period 1962:1 to 1981:IV. The basis of this investigation is the monetary approach whereby the roles of both the money‐supply growth and the money‐demand growth...

The main objective of my article, (Darrat, 1984), was to examine the sensitivity of domestic money demand in Saudi Arabia to changes in external monetary and financial factors such as foreign interest rates. Regression results over the quarterly period 1962/I‐1981/IV indicated that the Saudi...

In this rejoinder, I should like to emphasise, once more, that my original article was intended as a statistical inquiry into the Saudi money demand relationship. As such, its main purpose was to explore whether foreign interest and currency exchange rates exert significant (statistically...

The primary purpose of this article is to investigate empirically for the US the potential impact of monetary and fiscal policy upon real economic activity using the “St. Louis equation” approach. Only lagged values of the policy variables are included in the estimation to ensure their...
