Saudi Arabia Macroeconomic and Environmental Indicators 1990-2022

33 years of Saudi Arabian data examine interactions between technical investment, trade in services, electricity consumption, economic growth, urbanization, and environmental sustainability. The dataset, authored by Bassem Kahouli, covers the period from 1990 to 2022. It includes indicators such as ecological footprint and carbon dioxide emissions for analysis.

Use Cases

• Model the relationship between electricity consumption (EC) and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions to assess environmental impact.
• Analyze the effect of urbanization on ecological footprint (EF) and economic growth (EG) over the 33-year time series.
• Investigate the interaction between technical investment and trade in services (TS) as drivers of economic growth (EG).
• Forecast future ecological footprint (EF) trends based on historical urbanization and electricity consumption (EC) patterns.

Strengths

• Provides a 33-year longitudinal time series from 1990 to 2022 for trend analysis.
• Integrates multiple analytical domains including economic, energy, trade, and environmental indicators.
• Focuses specifically on the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), offering a detailed national case study.

Limitations

• The specific number of variables (columns) and data points (rows) is not provided, limiting assessment of scope.
• Data is sourced from a single country (KSA), which restricts the generalizability of findings to other contexts.
• The description does not specify the original data sources or collection methodology, affecting reproducibility.
