agricultural labour, mechanical technology, ARDL model, water SupplyAbstract
The research aims to study the impact of economic variables on agricultural output in Iraq for the period (1990-2023), the research used quantitative methods in the analysis of GDP, the water supply of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, cultivated areas, agricultural labour force, and other variables and to know on the agricultural product in Iraq. The parameters were estimated within the framework of the autoregressive model of autoregressive distributed lag model-ARDL, and the results found that each of the cultivated areas, agricultural labour, mechanical technology, per capita GDP and agricultural investments were indicated in conformity with economic logic and statistically significant, the results found that there is a long-term equilibrium relationship between agricultural product and the study variables, and the error correction coefficient came with a negative sign of -1.013851 and a significant at 1%, and the research found that water supply is the largest and prominent role and determinant of products, the research recommended the need to improve the efficiency of water by ensuring the use of modern irrigation technologies, especially in irrigated areas in central and southern of Iraq.
