Abstract

The economic effects of large dams which were constructed in Iran during the last two decades are explored in this paper and their impacts on Agriculture and welfare in the township of their origin as well as downstream townships are analyzed. Ordinary least squares (OLS) method was used to investigate these effects and for more accurate results we controlled for geographical variables and rainfall. The results showed that Dam Construction leads to higher agricultural yield, production value and irrigated area in dam’ s own township but it does not affect yield, production and irrigated area in downstream townships. Also, Dam Construction results in planting more water-intensive crops in their own township and less waterintensive crops in downstream townships. In addition, per capita expenditures in rural regions of downstream townships decrease in response to Dam Construction, but urban regions of the downstream townships as well as urban and rural regions of dam’ s own township are not influenced by Dam Construction.
