Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the major wood import and export countries in Iran during 30 years and to determine the relation between wood import and export with some major macroeconomics variables such as population, gross domestic product, world oil price and the amount of domestic wood production. Regression analysis was used in order to study the relation between import and export with mentioned macroeconomics variables. Results show that Iran most wood exported countries based on wood weight were Iraq, Armenia and Kuwait during the study period, respectively. The most wood imported countries to Iran based on wood weight were Russia, Austria and Finland. Results showed that population and gross domestic products had direct relation to wood import at all countries. Regression analysis showed that there is only a significant relation between wood export to Armenia and domestic wood product.
