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....

English Abstract: In this paper, I review the supply and demand side of the electricity market in Iran. I review the potential bidding strategies that are in place in this market. I evaluate the optimality of bidding and introduce a new bidding strategy that could raise the profits of the firms....

Efficiency improvement in electricity uses leads to a decrease in its demand and consequently a decline in the market price of electricity. It is expected that the induced increase in electricity demand due to this price effect offsets part of the primary reduction in consumption, a phenomenon...

In this research, the DCC model is estimated to calculate dynamic correlation series between crude oil price and growth of Industry and Mine sector during 1367:1-1392:4. Then, Macroeconomic variables which can explain the dynamic correlation are analyzed as variables of contagion. So, the...
