Abstract: 

This paper examines the short run, long run and causal relationship among economic growth, carbon emissions, energy consumption and employment ratio in Iran over the period 1977–2010. Using autoregressive distributed lag bounds testing approach of cointegration; the results support a long-run relationship among the variables. Also, the estimated income elasticity of carbon emissions per capita in short- and long- run are 0.03 and 0.07, respectively; and the income elasticity of employment ratio in short run and long run are 0.85 and 3.25, respectively. Regarding the causality test, our findings indicate that, there is a unidirectional causality from GDP per capita to both energy consumption and carbon emissions per capita; also, employment ratio causes economic growth in both short run and long run. The overall results show that energy conservation policies, such as rationing energy consumption and controlling carbon dioxide emissions, have not likely adverse impacts on economic growth in Iran. In addition, the paper shows that establishment of labor-intensive industries is of considerable positive impact on the long run economic growth in Iran.

Abstract: 

Measuring the welfare effects of energy subsidy reform is one of the most essential steps in determining the conditions and scenarios of energy price reform. Therefore, the main goal of this article is to survey how energy price reform affects the welfare of rural and urban households’ income deciles. This research uses the standard computable general equilibrium model based on legislated scenarios approved by Parliament in 2010. In addition, the supportive and income redistribution policies resulting from energy price reform are simulated and analyzed. The results show that rising energy prices leads to reduction in welfare of all urban and rural households especially in the lower income deciles. In addition, increasing energy prices causes more drop in the welfare of rural households in comparison with urban ones. Therefore, the supportive and income redistribution policies resulting from energy price reform under various redistribution scenarios considerably compensate the lost welfare of households.

Abstract: 

Rapid increase in housing price has been a national difficulty for the people and public officials in recent years in Iran. Therefore, the study of factors affecting increased housing prices is of great importance. In this paper, the effects of some key variables, including land price, construction cost, the volume of bank loans to housing sector, exchange rate, stock price index, the number of residential buildings and household income on the price of housing have been studied in Kermanshah. For analyzing the effects of above-mentioned variables on price of houses, an auto regressive distributed lag model has been estimated using quarterly data over the period 1991-2009. Additionally, the error correction model was estimated in order to evaluate the adjustment speed of dynamic model to the long-run one. The estimation results indicate that the macroeconomic variables are of high power in explaining the behavior of house price and its fluctuations.

Abstract: 

In recent decades, the concept of quality of urban life has been entered into urban planning studies due to worldwide increasing growth of urbanization and cities. The aim of this research is comparative study of the quality of urban life in Iran cities. Using descriptive and analytic approach, a Composite Human Development Model is applied to assess urban life quality in Iran. This model uses 36 indicators in three social- cultural, population- economic and infrastructure categories. The results show that quality of urban life is better in the northern and central cities than the other ones. Most of these are located in the imaginary circle which starts from Isfahan, passes through Tehran and Semnan and finally ends to the northern cities of country. Cities in western and northern half of country have better social and cultural conditions, whereas the economic conditions are better in cities of southern and eastern part of country. The quality of urban life is relatively suitable in the cities with 100 – 400 Meters elevation above sea level. In addition, the cities having 100-250 thousands population are better in social and cultural view and cities with more than one million population have better economic condition than others.

Abstract: 

Population diversity, which is defined nationally as ethnic, cultural, religious, and tribal heterogeneities, is a key factor affecting regional economic growth. On one hand, It leads to disparity of preferences, discrimination, counter productivity policies and decreasing regional growth. On the other hand, ethnic and religious mix is of advantages including diversity in abilities, experiences, and cultures that may result in productivity, creativity, innovation and increasing regional economic growth. Thus, there is a trade-off between benefits and costs of heterogeneity of population in a diverse multiethnic society. A question arises here is that whether population diversity has positive or negative impact on regional economic growth? Moreover, what is the effect of population diversity on regional growth in Iran? This paper examines the effects of population diversity on regional economic growth, using Panel Data model for 28 provinces of Iran over the period 1999-2006. The results show that religious heterogeneity (Fragmentation index and Polarization index) has negative effect on regional economic growth in Iran.

Abstract: 

The relationship between financial and real sectors of economy has been considered in various economic studies. This paper investigates the effect of financial system structure on economic growth using Dynamic Panel method (GMM) for 39 countries during 2000-2009. The estimation results show that financial structure has no significant effect on economic growth in both the entire set and developed countries, while this effect is significant in developing and emerging countries. In other words, real sector performance in market-based financial system is better than bank-based financial system in developing and emerging countries. In addition, financial development has significant and positive effect on economic growth in entire set of countries, and this effect is higher in developing and emerging countries than developed countries.

Abstract: 

This paper tests monetary view of inflation in Iranian economy by a monetary approach within P* model using OLS and ARDL techniques during 1358-1387 (1979-2008). It should be noted that only the standard P* model (domestic price gap) is tested in this study. Regarding that domestic price gap consists of output and velocity gaps, the Hedrick – Prescott filter method is used to estimate the potential production level and the velocity of balanced money. Estimation results of various models show that the standard P* model (domestic price gap), is not able to explain and forecast inflation in Iranian economy and implies that the quantity theory of money is not correct in Iranian economy. Therefore, we investigated monetary theory of inflation using alternative variables including volume of liquidity, real gross domestic product (GDP), informal exchange rate, import price index with using ARDL method. Results show that a 10% growth of liquidity leads to increase general prices by 4.6%. Thus, the monetary hypothesis of inflation is partially confirmed, however concerning that relationship between inflation and liquidity volume is not unique, and other factors affect inflation in Iran, therefore to curb Iranian inflation we cannot adopt only monetary policy as an effective tool.

Abstract: 

This study tries to model real exchange rate using a two-state Markov autoregressive model. The empirical results indicate that the real exchange rate cycles are well explained by a switching autoregressive pattern rather than a simple autoregressive model. The Markov switching autoregressive model (MSAR) is a non-linear method, which models volatility in financial markets well and identifies periods of regime change of exchange rate volatility. The results show that duration of staying in high volatility regime (regime 1) is less than that of low volatility regime (regime 2) in Iran. The other result is the possibility of testing for the purchasing power parity (PPP) theory, implying that existence a regular trend in data and lack of convergence potential real exchange rate to 1 leads to reject the PPP theory. Since there is a regular trend in real exchange rate data, we can reject the PPP theory in Iran. This also indicates that the real variables affect real exchange rate only in the long-run.

Abstract: 

This study investigates alternative options for allocating incomes from targeting subsidy program to different production sectors and its consequences on income distribution among Iranian households. This research is performed by computing income multipliers derived from social accounting matrix for three income groups in urban as well as rural households and allocating income to different production sectors accordingly. Results indicate that allocating income based on income multiplier of the rural high income households leads to a reduction in income inequality between rural and urban households and generates the highest absolute income for all income groups. The only drawback of this option is that it raises the income gap among different income groups in rural as well as urban regions to some extent. In addition, results reveals that in order to reach the objective of reducing income inequality, the two agricultural subsectors, cropping and horticulture production sectors, and food industries can play important role and should be given special attention in allocating income to these sectors.

Abstract: 

Nowadays resources mobilization besides identifying optimum financing methods is one of the top priorities for economic policy makers. Undoubtedly, the growing trend of literature on Sukuk would be regarded an act in this line, so that various studies have been conducted on usage methods of them until now. Most of these studies have focused on explaining conceptual, legal, administrative and religious jurisprudence aspects of the bond as well as their applications in different economic sectors such as agriculture, industry, tourism and have paid less attention to intra-sectors such as external trade. In this article, we review non-oil export structure of Iran and analyze the feasibility of export financing through applying sukuk securities from operational, institutional, and religious jurisprudence points of view. The results imply that at the time being Mudaraba and Istisna are the proper options for financing export of goods and technical & engineering services. Meanwhile Musharaka security can be applied for both as well. At the end of paper the operatable-national framework of three-sukuk securities issuance has been developed.
