My Research Statement
Sustainable Growth
Energy Intensive Industries Exporting Oil as the
main source of Income
To design of economic policy process, the motivation have raised as a result of many policies fall short to achieve
their intended goals.
I can help building a corporate strategy of National Oil companies (Saudi Aramco) as a pillar of the Saudi Economy. Since it can be considered as a private enterprise, it can foster the economy by leadership.
Another research goal is to study the impact of climate change policies on the Saudi Economy and its Energy
Portfolio
The transformation of economy through applying sciences and knowledge to each facet in the economy is indispensable to well diversified with sustaining potential GDP growth
My argument that Saudi Arabia as a country with more than 20 million in population can absorb domestically oil windfalls and FDI by developing economic channels
The central question is how to strategize optimal transformational path toward sustainable growth taken into consideration social constraints?

My Research Methodology
Model Construction Use Economic Theory to construct a causal relationship between variables.
Simulation ApproachThe construction of an artificial environment within which relevant information and data can be generated.
Quantitative CharacterizationBased on the quantitative characterization of some economic properties which are subjected to rigorous quantitative analysis in a formal and rigid manner.
Data AvailabilityBalancing Between Available Data and the Questions to be Answered Through Integrated Modeling.
My Research Work
Integrating Equilibrium Unemployment Theory (EUT) with 2X2 Growth Model1
Integrating CAFÉ Standards into General Equilibrium Framework 2
Smart Grid 4
Integrating Real Options/Portfolio Theory Into General Equilibrium Framework 3
5The impact of Oil Extracting Technologies on
The oil Price Business Cycle
The Pilot model and Integrating models with Growth Models(Decomposition Method)
WhyPilot
Model?
Analytical analysis is perplex!
Analytical vs. Simulation
To provide preliminary insights To assess feasibility of a large, expensive full-scale study.
To test of the methods and procedures to be used on a larger scale And to narrow the focus
The objective of the pilot study
High Aggregation: Disregarding Heterogeneity Control of all other extraneous factors
Drawback of Pilot Models
• Using GAMS as a modeling software
Software
Integrating Equilibrium Unemployment Theory Into General Equilibrium Framework
The Thesis Question
What are the Impacts of Subsidizing Capital‐Intensive Sector on the Unemployment Rate on Dynamic 2X2 Growth Model Framework?
Methodology
• Integrate two‐sector Ramsey growth model with Equilibrium Unemployment Theory (Search‐Match Frictions).
• Analytically, prove the balanced growth path of the integrated model is saddle path.
Outcome and other Advantages
• The results from the pilot model are: overall unemployment increases, and capital reallocate to subsidized sector.
• Capturing the sectorial allocation in response to labor market externalities and policies.
• Capturing bidirectional effects • Inclusion of labor market policies into general equilibrium framework.
Integrating CAFÉ Standards into General Equilibrium Framework
The Thesis Question
What is the effectiveness of the proposed policy of Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards on reducing the auto fuel consumption and limiting the Greenhouse Gas Emissions in the presence of fuel subsidy, energy efficiency gap and projected rebound effect in Saudi Arabia?
Methodology
• Integrate two‐sector Ramsey growth model with Auto industry model which captures Stock and flow of Vehicles, Consumer Behavior, and Producers Behaviors’ under CAFE Standards.
The Outcome
• While the effect of imposing tax is swift, the result of imposition of CAFE standers is protracted policy option because of stock effect.
• Expenditure Substitution lessens the rebound effect depending on the income elasticity.
• Small‐size of the auto sector is heightened with controlled small elasticity of substitution of driving activity.
• Imposition of fuel tax decreases driving activity (public transportation) with no stock augmentation under Energy efficiency Gap Assumption

Integrating Real Options/Portfolio Theory Into General Equilibrium Framework
The Thesis Question
What are the potential scenarios of adopting Knowledge‐Based Economy to an economy, with initial conditions of certain preferences and one commodity as a major income, through managing the process of diversification by minimizing the impact of commodity price volatility and episodes, and sustaining potential GDP growth?
Methodology
Capturing the impact of the uncertainty of oil prices by Integrating “Real Options/Portfolio” Theory Into small open economy model and General Equilibrium Framework.
The Expected Outcome
The aim of this paper is to aid the policy maker about the preeminent paths of economic transformation and the available policy instruments to manage this process based in different initial assumptions about the economy , by showing not only the benefits, but also the costs of this transformation within reasonable time frame.Another Advantage: The method can benefit the cause of building Energy Portfolio.
The Impact of Oil Extracting Technologies on The Oil Price Business Cycle
The Thesis Question
What is the impact of oil extracting technologies on the business cycle of the oil price?
Methodology
Use available data to establish a causality relationship between adopting new technologies like FRACK and the business cycle of the oil price?
The Outcome
Adopting new technologies during the ascending trend of oil price causes asymmetric shape of the business cycle of the oil price between the ascending and descending trends.Future Work:I am planning to publish it as a research paper using econometric modeling. Next: Given the demand forecast, Will the current dwindle in Oil and Gas Industry investment cause a new Oil price business cycle?
