ABSTRACT
The study mainly aimed to explore the effects of key determinants on Saudi date export quantities from 1985 to 2020. The results of co-integration test disclose that KSA date export value, world export value, world price, date export quantities, and KSA production quantities were integrated into the long run. The result of Error Correction Model showed that the coefficient of adjustment parameter for KSA export value showed negative and significant (-1.950), meaning that the model was able to correct its past time disequilibrium. Using the impulse test, the Saudi date export value variables documented a positive long run response to one standard deviation impulse to the majority of other study variables, concluding that Saudi date export value variables may be deliberate chief variables. In reference to the Granger causality test, there is a unidirectional between some variables under study. A multiple regression test was run and tested its robustness; the result showed that date world price and Saudi date production quantities (independent variables) influence the Saudi export quantities (dependent variable). The study recommends encouraging Saudi date export quantities by increasing Saudi date production quantities.
