This project aims to design and establish an electronic database and analytical panel related to economic crises in Kurdistan and worldwide.
It will serve as a reliable reference for economists, researchers, and experts to collect, analyze, and review data and viewpoints regarding economic challenges and trends.
The project involves systematic data collection from Master’s and Ph.D. theses across public and private universities within the Kurdistan Region.
The technical team under KISSR will conduct structured interviews and video or audio recordings according to a prearranged schedule.
The resulting database will act as an essential resource for graduate students and researchers, supporting evidence-based policymaking, strategic planning, and the development of the Kurdistan Region’s economy and business environment.
• To study and analyze the current and future economic conditions.
• To collect and systematize data on economic crises, development, revenue, trade, and employment.
• To develop a comprehensive, accessible, and scientifically reliable economic database.
• To provide empirical support for academic research and strategic decision-making in the economic and business sectors.
