Abstract
The objective of this research is to estimate the most important factors affecting supply response for cultivated area with lentils In Iraq. The results showed that the most important factors affecting supply response of lentils were cultivated area for previous year, the price of lentils and chickpea of previous year, price uncertainty , production uncertainty and the result also showed that price elasticity of lentils was (1.675) and cross price elasticity of lentils with respect to chickpea was (-5.231) and also showed that there was fluctuation in cultivated area and production as the growth rates of cultivated area and production were (-0.088%) (-0.078%) respectively. The most suitable function according to economic, statistical, and econometrical criteria. Was the inverse logarithmic function. The lagged area coefficient was about (0.943). This means that the farmer is abele to change the area according to change occurred in crop price and this needs more than a year. The was (0.75) and this means that 75% of change in cultivated area are due to change in independent variables. The model as a whole was significant according to F-test under 1% of significant level. According to second order test the model dosent contain any problem of autocorrelation, multicollinearity, and hetroscedasticity by using Durban-watson, klein, and Park test.
