The effect of natural resources abundance on the economic performance of resource-rich countries shows different results. In this regard, the results of some studies justify the resource curse phenomenon in rich countries based on the Dutch disease and the political economy of the resource curse hypothesis. In this paper, the role of oil rent (% of GDP) on the employment of agricultural in Iran by the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) method has been examined during the 1345-1400 period. The results of model estimation show that the oil rent has a negative and significant effect on the agricultural sector employment, whereby the increase in the natural resources rent has harmed the employment of agricultural sector, and it has not been blessing for this sector. It supports the existence of Dutch disease and the political economy of recourse curse hypothesis in the agricultural sector in Iran.

Business cycle literature is focused on the role of variables such as oil and gas incomes, export fluctuations of oil and gas, budget deficit of the government and liquidity on the business cycle. So far, few studies have been done about the impact of business cycles on agricultural sector. Therefore, in this paper, the long-run business cycles components and irregular shocks have been extracted from real GDP and the effect of business cycle on production, employment and investment in agricultural sector of Iran has been studied. Real GDP over the period of 1973 to 2013 were separated using Hodric-Presscott filter and then the cyclical properties of key variables affecting business cycles were calculated and analyzed. The simultaneous equations method is used to evaluate the impact of business cycles on production, employment and investment in agricultural sector. Results showed that business cycles have had a significant and positive effect on agricultural value added, and negative effect on employment and investment in agricultural sector. Therefore, it is recommended that in the years of economic prosperity the government should pay more attention to investment in agriculture, so that the economic sector would be a better helping to reduce the price of oil and gas, which is the main cause of economic recession in the country.
