Abstract
Universal access to higher education and radical increase in demand for higher education in 2000s necessitated the expansion of higher education institutions. The rise in the number of such institutions was unprecedented. In fact, all districts of Iran had a higher education institution by 2008. Even very small districts received a private or public higher education institution to reduce transportation costs and expand access to higher education. This enhanced access has a more disproportionate effect on women compared to men. In this paper we combine data on higher education institutions between 1999 and 2016 with educational outcomes of individuals aged between 18 to 35 years old in the population census 2016 to estimate the impact of access to higher education on educational attainment and educational gender gap. Using district and age fixed effects, we do not find a significant effect on overall education of individuals. However, women received a significantly larger benefit from the expansion of higher education institutions.

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of equal education, inclusive education, promotion of opportunities and quality education on sustainable development among urban households in the provinces of Iran over the period 2011-2019. In this research, a stochastic dynamic panel data model is estimated using the Spatial Durbin Generalized Method of Moments and applying the Arellano-Bover/Blundell-Bond two-stage coefficients. In addition, the proximity and correlation matrix are calculated in the form of a 30 by 30 square matrix. The results show that the estimated coefficient of time lag of per capita income is positive and significant. The weighted average per capita income of each province affects the per capita income of the provinces. So that the higher per capita income of the neighboring provinces, affects the per capita income of that province and its impact is 1.04. The variables of equal education, inclusive education, promotion of opportunities and quality education have positive effects on sustainable development. These variables also have proximity and spatial effects on per capita income. All spatial Durbin variables are significant, which indicates the existence of the spatial effect of independent variables on the dependent variable.
