| Summary: | The paper examines the determinants of food security in Oman during the
period 1980-2019. It investigates the influence of population growth rate and
GDP per capita on food security. Cointegration and vector error correction
model (VECM) approach are used to identify the long term and short term
relationship of food security determinants. The results confirm the existence of
a long run relationship among the determinants of food security. Further this
linkage indicates that food security in Oman is positively influenced by the
population growth rate and GDP/capita(current). The error correction term
suggests that 51.7 percent of the total disequilibrium in food security was being
adjusted every year which is justifiable for an oil producing country. |
