Abstract

This paper attempts to investigate the nexus between inflation and unemployment rates in Iraq for the period (2004–2024) based on Phillips curve paradigm, with an application of involves in autoregressive distributed lag ARDL bounds testing methodology. Results reveal a negative relationship between inflation and unemployment in the long run as well as in the short run, but it is weaker than expected because of specific features of the Iraqi economy, given that Iraq is a dominated country depending on oil revenues.
