The Department of Economics at the College of Administration and Economics – University of Mosul – discussed the PhD dissertation titled:
“Measuring and Analyzing the Impact of Macroeconomic Variables on Agricultural Trade in Selected Developing Countries for the Period 1990–2022.”

The current study, submitted by the student Rahhal Subhi Qasim Al-Taie from the Department of Economics, aimed to estimate and analyze the impact of several macroeconomic variables on agricultural exports, imports, and total agricultural trade in a sample of developing countries, including (Iraq, Egypt, Turkey, and Thailand) during the period 1990–2022.

The study reached a number of conclusions, the most important of which was that macroeconomic variables have contributed to the removal of international tariff and banking restrictions, turning the world into a single market in which state intervention mechanisms have diminished and economic freedom prevails.
