Abstract

This paper aimed to find out the effectiveness of the self-regression models conditional on inconsistency and disparity in estimating the fluctuations of the returns of the Saudi stock market during the period between 2007-2017, and by using the daily data of the market index, the study concluded that the Saudi stock market is inefficient at the level of the weak, and that the models ARCH gave the best representation of its fluctuations during the study period.
