    • Abstract:
      Iraq is one of the countries that has witnessed rapid population growth and urbanization. This growth may lead to increased energy needs in various sectors such as transportation, construction, industry, and services. Investigating the impact of population growth on energy efficiency can lead to improved energy consumption in the country. Because energy efficiency reduces energy waste, reduces costs, and increases economic competitiveness. Given the importance of this issue, the main objective of this study is to investigate the impact of urbanization on energy efficiency during the period 1990 to 2022 in the cities of Baghdad, Basra, and Erbil in Iraq. In this study, energy efficiency is estimated by data envelopment analysis (DEA) method, and then by ARDL method, the effect of urbanization rate on it is investigated. Results of this study showed that urbanization had a positive and significant effect on energy efficiency in Iraq. Also, based on other results of this study, the impact of the variables of GDP growth, human capital index, gross fixed capital formation, foreign direct investment and industrial added value on energy efficiency is also positive and significant, and the trend of energy efficiency in Iraq, despite its fluctuation, It is somewhat bullish.Therefore, urbanization can affect energy efficiency through various channels, such that it enhances energy consumption patterns and the effectiveness of energy policies to improve efficiency.
