One of the main subjects, all governments are facing is the just distribution of income, and trying to improve it; because of the consequence of unjust distribution of income studying different aspect of it is very important. In this regard, we have studied the effects of different kinds of infrastructure; economic (energy, water, ICT), social (health, education), on the inequality of the Iranian provinces for the period of 2006-2016. We have used the Dynamic Panel Data and GMM models. The results show that enhancement of social and economic infrastructures will reduce the inequalities. According to research findings, the increase in social and economic infrastructures has reduced the income inequality in society. As infrastructure of healthcare, information and communication technology, energy and water have the most impact on income inequality, respectively. Therefore, in order to reduce inequality in deprived areas, the combination and optimal allocation of economic and social infrastructures should be considered.

Health is the most valuable material property of human and the health sector is one of the most important sectors in community. Therefore، justice is the key issue in economics in general and emphatic in Islamic economics. According to an approach concerning equity in health sector، justice occurs when socio-economic factors do not expose people with impoverishing costs. In this paper، based on a large volumes of data between the years 2007 to 2011، we evaluate the impact of household socio-economic status on the probability of facing with impoverishing health expenditure using Ordered Logit Technique and the STATA software. This probability decreases with the factors such as: the employment of household head، homeownership، the most educated people in the family، more per capita area of residence، family being in high income deciles and insurance coverage and increases with a growth in household size and living in more developed provinces. The poor effects of insurance coverage and its impact on the probability of households facing impoverishing health expenditure indicate its inefficiency. The probability of households facing impoverishing health expenditure has increased from 2007 to 2010 yearly، but in 2011، as Iranian targeted subsidy plan was implemented، this probability has not been significant. This should be due to the immediate and short-run influences of subsidy plan and determining its medium term and long-run effects requires further studies in the future. In this paper، with a large volume of data، it was tried to explain this problem by means of investigating the effect of new variables and the impact of implementation of government policies and subsidies plan.
