Abstrak

Hubungan yang rumit antara Keluaran Dalam Negara Kasar (KDNK), Pelaburan Langsung Asing (PLA) dan Harga Minyak Mentah (HMM) adalah kunci untuk memahami sistem ekonomi, kerana pemboleh ubah ini secara kolektif mempengaruhi trajektori ekonomi nasional dan global. KDNK mencerminkan kesejahteraan ekonomi dan keyakinan pelabur, PLA berperanan sebagai pemangkin pertumbuhan dengan memperkenalkan modal dan teknologi, manakala HMM mempengaruhi kos pengeluaran, inflasi dan kestabilan negara pengeksport dan pengimport minyak. Kajian ini memberi tumpuan kepada Malaysia dengan hasil minyak dan PLA memainkan peranan penting dalam membentuk prestasi ekonomi. Model tak linear berinspirasikan Lotka-Volterra baharu dicadangkan untuk menggambarkan hubungan saling kebergantungan antara KDNK, PLA dan HMM. Walau bagaimanapun, hasil ujian kestabilan mendedahkan bahawa titik keseimbangan sistem adalah tidak stabil dengan gangguan kecil mencetuskan dinamik berayun atau mencapah, mencerminkan kerentanan Malaysia terhadap kitaran ekonomi dan kejutan luaran. Penemuan ini menonjolkan hubungan dinamik antara pemboleh ubah tersebut serta ketidakstabilan yang wujud dalam ekonomi bergantung kepada tenaga. Model yang dicadangkan menawarkan pandangan kukuh terhadap hubungan tak linear antara KDNK, PLA dan HMM, sekali gus menekankan keperluan untuk intervensi dasar yang disasarkan bagi mengurangkan ketidakstabilan. Bagi memastikan ketepatan model dan mengatasi masalah kestabilan, kami menghasilkan kaedah Euler tak piawai (KETP), pendekatan berangka yang direka untuk mengekalkan sifat positif, keterbatasan dan kestabilan dalam simulasi. Hasil kajian menunjukkan ketepatan ramalan yang tinggi bagi KDNK dan PLA dengan nilai Peratusan Ralat Purata Mutlak (PRPM) yang rendah serta ketepatan yang munasabah bagi HMM. Dengan menyediakan kerangka ramalan, kajian ini melengkapkan pembuat dasar dan pelabur dengan alat untuk mengemudi landskap ekonomi Malaysia yang berubah-ubah, sambil menawarkan strategi untuk mengukuhkan daya tahan dan pertumbuhan mampan di tengah-tengah ketidakpastian pasaran tenaga global.

Abstract

The intricate interplay between Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), and Crude Oil Prices (COP) forms the cornerstone of understanding economic systems, as these variables collectively shape national and global economic trajectories. GDP reflects economic well-being and investor confidence, FDI serves as a growth catalyst by introducing capital and technology, while COP influences production costs, inflation, and the stability of oil-exporting and importing nations. This study focuses on Malaysia, where oil revenues and FDI play pivotal roles in shaping economic performance. A new Lotka-Volterra-inspired nonlinear model is proposed to capture the interdependencies between GDP, FDI, and COP. However, stability analysis shows that the system’s equilibrium points are unstable, with minor disturbances triggering oscillatory or divergent dynamics, underscoring Malaysia’s vulnerability to economic cycles and external shocks. These findings highlight the dynamic relationships between these variables and the inherent volatility in energy-dependent economies. The proposed model offers robust insights into the nonlinear connections between GDP, FDI, and COP, emphasizing the urgent need for targeted policy interventions to mitigate instability. To ensure model accuracy and address stability challenges, we developed a Nonstandard Euler Method (NSEM), a numerical approach designed to preserve positivity, boundedness, and stability in simulations. The results demonstrate high predictive accuracy for GDP and FDI, with low Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) values, alongside reasonable accuracy for COP. By providing a predictive framework, this study equips policymakers and investors with essential tools to navigate Malaysia’s ever-evolving economic landscape, offering strategies to bolster resilience and sustainable growth amidst global energy market uncertainties.

Keywords: Crude oil price modelling; GDP-FDI-COP interactions; Lotka-Volterra dynamics; nonlinear economic systems; nonstandard Euler method (NSEM)
