The aim of this paper is examining appropriate structures in order to achieve the objectives of monetary and fiscal policy in the Iranian economy. The behavior of monetary and fiscal policymakers was derived using dynamic optimization and game theory techniques trough defining objective functions and policy makers’ constraints under two basic policy making approaches: commitment and discretionary. findings showed that,Regardless of committed or discretionary policymaking approach, fiscal policy has procyclical behavio. findings showed that, the hypothesis that oil revenues are only reason of fiscal dominance in Iranian economy is rejected and policy maker s commitment is necessary condition and fiscal discipline is sufficient condition for independence of monetary policy.

This study examines the relationship between per capita income and per capita dioxide emissions in the form of a new definition of the Environmental Kuznets Curve, to investigate how corruption influences the income level at the turning point of the relationship between per capita dioxide emissions and income, in developed and developing countries the period 1994-2013 through the use of a panel data model. Our results support the Environmental Kuznets Curve hypothesis for developed countries and existence of an U-shaped relation for developing countries. We find evidence that the higher the country's degree of corruption, the higher the per capita income at the turning point for developed countries and the lower the per capita income at the turning point for developing countries than when corruption is not accounted for. Also, the share of renewable energy in both groups of countries has a negative and significant effect on per capita dioxide emissions, but the positive effect of urbanization rate in developed countries is significant and in developing countries is not.

Political situation is fundamentally about social change in values, behaviors, patterns of economic activity and, crucially, in political institutions.  The purpose of this study is to investigate how political stability affect economic growth in Iran over the period of 1984-2014 using Quantile Regression. In order to determine political instability indicator, we employ the principle component analysis (PCA) on a set of 5 political instability indicators, referred to as: Internal Conflict (IC), External Conflict (EC), Military in Politics (MP), Ethnic Tensions (ET) and Religion in Politics (RP). These data are extracted in ICRG database. The results of our analysis indicate a positive relationship between economic growth and political stability.

This study aimed to investigate the influence of cultural factors on the risk power of companies in Iran's stock exchange. The companies surveyed included 178 companies selected by sampling method based on the specified criteria. To estimate the impact of cultural factors on the risk of active companies in the Iranian stock exchange and to analyze the relationships between the variables presented in the model with the use of panel data extracted from the financial statements in the stock exchange and other reports published by both statistical and religious institutions and Cultural was used. In this study, the panel method was used and before that Chow and Housman tests were used to determine the type of test. The results of the study on the effect of cultural factors on the riskiness of the companies active in the stock exchange showed that cultural factors have a significant effect on the standard deviation of the company's returns, the standard deviation of the firm's return on assets and the costs of research and development of the company, and This relationship is negative for all of the three risk aversion factors. In sum, it can be concluded that the promotion of cultural factors in the society influences all three indexes related to the risk appetite of companies in the stock market and thus reduces the risk aversion of these companies.

This study aimed to investigate the influence of socio-cultural factors structure of participation in the stock, according to Securities and Exchange mediator of trust in Iran.
The sample group consisted of 398 samples were selected based on random sampling. For statistical analysis of the correlation coefficient method, hierarchical regression and structural equation modeling (SEM) was used. The results show that although the test variables, socio-cultural factors influence of some variables such as beliefs, participation in stock or reject, such as education, income, and legislation is approved, but by examining the variables of trust, such as optimism, ambiguity aversion and risk aversion and direct and significant impact of these variables on participation in the exchange on the role of influential variables related to socio-cultural factors is stressed. The results of multiple regression analysis correlation and model the role of trust in the relationship between socio-cultural factors contribute to the exchange as a mediator confirmed. In the following through compliance data and conceptual model, structural equation modeling to assess the impact of trust as a mediator was fitted and the Influence of socio-cultural factors by role of mediator Trust on participation in the stock confirmed

The purpose of this paper is to investigate social welfare and the convergence of social welfare of Iran,s provinces. For the purpose we use Nahar and Inder convergence during 2000-2013. The results indicate that Kermanshah, Kohkiloyeh and Boyerahmad and Mazandaran areconvergence towards the average of welfare of the provinces and Also, West Azarbaijan, East Azarbaijan, Ardabil, Bushehr, Razavi Khorasan, North Khorasan, Semnan, Sistan and Baluchestan, Qom, Golestan, Lorestan and Hormozgan diverge from the average of welfare. Also, most of the Iran,s provinces have a lower welfare than the community average. Therefore, policymakers performance in this field are not suitable for balanced development of regions welfare.

The main objective of this paper is to investigate the impacts of fundamental variables and volatility of oil revenue (as one of the most important of environment prevailing components in Iran economy) on degree of exchange rate pass through (ERPT) into import price. For this, Markov-Switching and EGARCH methods were used on the base of data for 1990:3 to 2014:1. The findings indicate that there are two ERPT into import price regimes in Iran economy. The ERPT is more than unitary in both regimes. Also, volatility of oil revenues has asymmetric impacts on ERPTs of regimes in terms of size and sign but it increases ERPT into import price in both regimes. Therefore, managing of volatility of oil revenues and exchange rate changes are suggested.

The structural budget deficit is one of the most important problems of developing countries. They borrow from the banking system, the private sector or outside world to finance this deficit. This approach can have different effects on the economy with regard to the composition and structure of debt and economic conditions of countries. The present study investigated the short-run and long-run effects of government debt on economic growth of Iran using ARDL in the period of 1975 to 2013.
Results showed that the ratio of government debt to GDP has a negative impact on economic growth. This impact on economic growth model based on oil revenues is more than the model based on non-oil GDP, also that in long run more than short term. Also results indicated the importance of physical capital is remarkable in both models in the short-term and long-term, but the human capital is significant only in non-oil growth pattern.

This study intends to investigate the effect of air pollution on public health expenditures and to identify the most important factors affecting the relationship between air pollution and public health expenditures. The scope of the study is the developing countries during 1995-2011. For this purpose, a dynamic panel and Generalized Method of Moments are used. The empirical results indicate that there is a robust and significant relationship between air pollution, per capita income, urbanization, government size, aging dependency and public health expenditure and unemployment have a negative but significant effect on public health expenditures. Also, per capita income, urbanization and education have significant effect on the relationship between air pollution and public health expenditures. That is, the effects of air pollution on health expenditures in the countries with higher per capita income, higher urbanization rates and lower education levels are significantly higher than other countries.

This paper investigates the effects of technology imports and employing higher educated people on the export of food and beverages in Iran by using a panel data during 2000-2007. The empirical results show that the import of technology and use of higher education have a positive and significant effect on the export of food and beverages. In addition, domestic demand of industrial production and price index of export goods have negative and significant effects on the food and beverages export. An important policy recommendation is that this paper tries to attract college-educated workforces along the country to provide food and beverage industry and facilitate the entry of foreign technology to reduce the cost of production exports.
