Abstract
The concept of e-tax filing is introduced by the e-government that motivates the use of
ICT (information and communication technology), specifically they focus on the usage of the
internet-related application to run an activity. The current study is aimed to understand the
acceptance of e-tax by the consumers. The impact of attitude towards adopting e-tax,
subjective norm, perceived behavioural control on intention of electric e-tax. The current
study uses the close-ended questionnaire to conduct the survey and to collect the responses
from the contributors. The total number of a questionnaire that was supposed to be filled by
the participant was 193. All the construct uses a five-point Likert scale. All variables of TPB
are regressed with adoption intention to analyse whether TPB variables have any significant
impact on adoption intention. Thus we can conclude that H1, H2 and H3 of the current study
are accepted. A future researcher should examine the other factors that may influence the etax adoption. This study is limited to the Iraqi context, other nation’s dimension must also be
analysed. A future researcher should also examine the culture-specific and cross-culture
factors in their researchers. Future study should also focus on the relationship among the
component so that they can achieve higher explanation power and lastly, a researcher should
also examine the variation in the subjective norms, attitude and control behaviour across
primary adoption and extension stages.

rate is set, this leads to a loss for the bank. Therefore, banks should use modern methods of
pricing bank loans. The research community represents the banks listed in the market. Iraq Stock

banks listed on the Iraq Stock Exchange that meet the research requirements, and for the period
(2006-2015), and a set of financial indicators were used (return on net funds used, weighted

Abstract
The importance of the subject in estimating the impact of sudden oil shocks over decades since the early seventies of the twentieth century until now was the motive in choosing it, and naturally when oil prices are low, this will be reflected in the government's financial decisions. The research problem revolves around dependence on oil revenues mainly and the weakness of other sectors such as agriculture in financing the government budget in Saudi Arabia, which raises the following question: It is to what extent these countries can absorb those oil shocks and contain them through an appropriate fiscal policy. The research relied on the hypothesis that tracking the paths of oil shocks had clear repercussions in government budget decisions, which prompted Saudi Arabia to follow appropriate financial methods and means to contain the government budget deficit. One of the main objectives of the research is to show the risks of oil shocks on financial conditions in creating surpluses or deficits in these financial conditions for government budgets, and the research relied on the analytical method to prove its hypothesis to show the trends of these shocks. The research reached a number of results, including that oil is and is still one of the most important drivers of political and economic developments, and many believe that it is the determinant of these developments. Accordingly, the research recommended: to work on diversifying the Saudi economy in order to move from a rentier economy to an economy with strong pillars based on the development of service, agricultural, industrial and production sectors, in order to reduce the severity of negative oil shocks on the Saudi economy, and the need to choose appropriate methods for investment Correct oil revenue.
Abstract
The research aims to identify the changes in the values of GDP in Jordan, which are accompanied by changes of production factors represented by physical capital and human capital after its development through spending on education, and to show what these indicators generate from important and clear effects on improving the productivity of capital elements. Which in turn contributes to economic growth, and that the weak productivity of the factors of production, labor and capital, weakens the role of the productive apparatus in increasing the growth rates of GDP. These variables have been analyzed based on the descriptive approach. The research found that there are large and fluctuating changes in the gross domestic product in Jordan, which were accompanied by changes in the values of physical capital and human capital after spending was made on educating human cadres in Jordan and making them more effective and more contributing to increasing production rates and thus raising the growth rates of GDP. Overall, the development of physical capital by taking advantage of the increases in national income and raising the percentage of spending on education from the national income for the purpose of developing human capital in order to increase the productivity of the production elements and increase the rates of economic growth in Jordan
Abstract
The research aims to shed light on the most important sectors of the green economy and their contribution to carbon emissions in Indonesia by presenting some concepts about the indicators of the green economy and agricultural sectors and their role in carbon emissions, and the importance and nature of the relationship between them, and in a presentation of the problematic of the study in light of the changes that the world is experiencing now from the depletion of resources The natural increase in the amount of emissions, the increase in population rates and the need to secure food, agriculture is one of the most important entrances to the green economy, where sustainability in agriculture is achieved through three main pillars: the first is to consider achieving economic performance or profitability by considering agricultural activity as an investment, and the second is to create And the creation of new social systems through agricultural projects, the employment and development of people participating, and the third in the environmental dimension through preserving the environment and biodiversity and reducing carbon emissions. Fixed capital in agriculture, forestry and fisheries, which led to an increase in the amount of emissions, but by a small percentage, as every 1% increase in per capita renewable energy consumption reduces carbon dioxide emissions per capita by 0.07%, while every 1% increase in per capita non-renewable energy increases Carbon dioxide emissions per capita by 0.52% in ASEAN countries, including Indonesia, and green variables (revenues of forest resources, value added for each factor in agriculture, forestry and fisheries, and consumption of renewable energy) were associated with an inverse relationship with carbon emissions in Indonesia. , that is, the increased use of these variables above reduced the percentage of carbon emissions, which achieves the hypothesis that the green economy positively affects the dimensions of sustainable development
