Author(s): Hassan A Fadol* and Faiez A Elneel
The study took up the Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Food Security in KSA (1968-2019), covering data from the
period of 1968- 2019, using simultaneous equation model (SEM) through the Weighted L.S. (Equation Weights)
method with Johansson co-integration test, to find out what variables can be affecting the food insecurity status in
KSA. The study found that, the increasing in food insecurity status to a low degree due to taxes affect the local price
level positively, and the increase in local price levels will lead to a decrease in consumer prices, and decrease a
household consumption expenditure, as well as a decrease in the per capita national income. However, an increase in
food insecurity status to a moderate degree due to decline in consumer prices which lead to a decrease in the level of
domestic food production, and in turn leads to a decrease in the gross.. View More»
