Abstract: Abstract This study explores the factors influencing a country’s imports of goods and services using panel data from 30 countries spanning 2009–2018. Employing a fixed-effects regression model, the study examines the impacts of inflation, per capita adjusted net national income, natural resource rents, and labor force on imports. Results show that inflation, income, and labor force have positive impacts on imports, while natural resource rents have a negative effect. These findings highlight the complex links between economic conditions and trade, offering insights for policymakers to better understand the drivers of import demand.
