Abstract

The research aims to measure the impact of private sector investment in the manufacturing industry on economic growth and unemployment in Iraq for the period 2004-2021. One of the most important reasons for conducting the research is to know the results that can be achieved by the participation of the private sector in the manufacturing industry, and were these results positive or negative? Therefore, decision-making will depend on these results. The use of econometric models and tests to clarify the effect, and the autoregressive distributed lag time (ARDL) model was applied. The results indicate that there is a co-integration relationship between private sector investment in the manufacturing industry ((PSI), gross domestic product (GDP) and unemployment (UN), Besides, there is a balancing relationship in the long run between the output of the manufacturing industry and GDP, and it has a significant effect at the probability level (1%), and it is associated with a direct relationship with it in the long term, an increase in the output of the manufacturing industry by 1% leads to an increase in the gross domestic product of about 0.210207, and it has been shown that there is a long-term equilibrium relationship between the variable output of the manufacturing industry and the unemployment rate, and this effect was significant at the probability level of 1%, but towards Reversible in the long run, as an increase in output in manufacturing industries by 1% leads to a decrease in the unemployment rate by (2.29383).
