Abstract
:
This study aims to estimate demand functions for petroleum products; gasoline, diesel and kerosene in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. To achieve this aim the researcher has used time series statements for demand for petroleum products from the year 1987 to 2008. Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) have been employed to find linear and logarithm multiple regression models. It is found that the independent variables have affected the estimation of demand for petroleum products to high degree of trust. The study works on assumptions about models used for gasoline and the result obtained is that there is a reverse relationship between the demand for gasoline and local selling price for a barrel; and an ejective relationship between demand for gasoline and the number of automobiles, the average income of individual and the gross lengths of tarmac roads. As for diesel it is found that there is a reverse relationship between demand for diesel and the local selling price for a barrel; and an ejective relationship between demand for diesel, the number of vehicles, the gross local product and water and power producing plants. It is also found that there is a reverse relationship between demand for kerosene and local selling price for a barrel; and an ejective relationship between demand for kerosene, the number of flight hours, local gross product and population. When the used models are analyzed statistically it is found that there are flexible demand for petroleum products. The study concludes that there are important independent variables which determines demands for petroleum products in the Kingdom and recommends that these non-renewable products should be rationed. The researcher presents throughout the study ideas about refinery industry, petroleum production and reserves in the kingdom and the most important petroleum products and the increasing demand on them.
