The purpose of this paper is to investigate the economic impacts of inter-generational allocation of exhaustible natural resources. We quantify the potential impacts of implementing this on oil and gas revenues in Iran. We employ an overlapping-generations computable general equilibrium model...

In this paper, we will study the impacts of a counterfactual scenario of an increase in oil revenues on the price levels, activity levels, imports and exports in Iran. Our focus is on non-traded sectors, household welfare, and expenditure indices in the framework of a Computable General...

This paper evaluates dynamic correlation between growth of Industry and Mine sector and crude oil price in Iran over the period of 1367:1 to 1389:4, with emphasis on the origin of oil price shocks. We apply Dynamic Conditional Correlation (DCC) model to estimate dynamic correlation. Our results...

English Abstract: In this chapter, we review different energy sources that are used and implemented in Iran’s electricity market. Specifically, we focus on the renewable energy sources that are in place in the country, e.g. hydropower, wind, and solar. We review the technology and the...

English Abstract: This chapter aims at finding the optimal tariff rates for Save-Salafchegan-Tehran-Pardis-Chaloos-Karaj Highways. In so doing, I use Small-Yan index to expand the optimal function around the point of gravity. Using real time data, the model’s parameters have been calibrated....

An increase in energy prices will decrease fossil fuel consumption; on the other hand, the cost-push will encourage technology improvement for firms and households. These changes will affect the emission level. This paper studies the changes in yearly pollutant emissions after an energy price...

Climate change is the most important phenomenon that directly affects the environment worldwide. The effect of this global phenomenon varies across countries. Some of the consequences of climate change worth mentioning are disappearing of glaciers, the sea level rise and the declining crop...
