ECONOMIC ASSESSMENT OF DUYRIDGE DAM AS A WATER‐HARVESTING SCHEME IN IRAQ
...Show More Authors
Abstract<p>Iraq, home of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, has survived an extreme deficiency of surface water assets over the years. The gap is due to the decline of the Iraqi water share every year, as well as a high demand for water use from different sectors, particularly agriculture.</p><p>Dam development has long given significant economic benefits to Iraq in circulating low‐priced electricity and supporting low‐income farmers by supplying them with a free irrigation system (Zakaria et al, 2012). This encouraged domestic consumption and investment.</p><p>Despite the fact that numerous advantages are expected from dam construction, it should be painstakingly assessed, utilizing cost–benefit analysis before endorsement.</p><p>This study aims to evaluate the capability of the Duyridge Dam in Maysan Governorate to harvest rainwater in Iraq and meet the local populations' needs as well as the geological, topographic, hydrological and economic requisites of water.</p><p>The result indicates that the net present costs and net present benefits at a 10% discount rate are equal to US$18.8 million and US$20.2 million respectively, while the net present value is equal to US$179 000 and the benefit–cost ratio is equal to 1.08.</p><p>Likewise, the results show that the internal rate of return is 11% and the payback of the project period is 5 years. The sensitivity analysis of the dam was estimated as well. © 2020 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.</p>

...Show More Authors

The origin of this technique lies in the analysis of François Kenai (1694-1774), the leader of the School of Naturalists, presented in Tableau Economique. This method was developed by Karl Marx in his analysis of the Departmental Relationships and the nature of these relations in the models of " "He said. The current picture of this type of economic analysis is credited to the Russian economist Vasily Leontif. This analytical model is commonly used in developing economic plans in developing countries (p. 1, p. 86). There are several types of input and output models, such as static model, mobile model, regional models, and so on. However, this research will be confined to the open-ended model, which found areas in practical application.

Human Development and Economic Growth: An Empirical study of Jordan
...Show More Authors

 AbstractThis study aimed to demonstrate the impact of human development on economic growth in Jordan during the period (1980-2014), Where some  diagnoses tests were applied, the results of these tests concluded that the standard models used in the study were free of statistical problems, and hence ordinary least squares (OLS) standard has been used as a tool for analysis to get efficient and unbiased estimates to parameters according to the theory of Gauss Markov.

The results showed that there is a strong and positive impact of human development represented by the Human Development Index (HDI) on economic growth in Jordan represented by the average of real productivity of the Jordanian worker (
