Abstract

One of the basic functions of input-output analysis is to identify the economic structure of regions and countries. This research seeks to identify the key sectors of Iran's provinces and to compare them with national key sectors. The data is extracted from the national input-output table and regional accounts of the Statistical Center of Iran in 2011. The results show that based on the "total gross backward and forward linkages" criterion, there are 17 and 20 key sectors, respectively, with and without considering the "dispersion of the linkages", at national level. With same criterion, every province has at least one and two key sectors, respectively. However, some key sectors of provinces are not listed as national key sectors, and are not included in the central planning. On the contrary, a number of national key sectors are not categorized as key sectors in the provincial level. In addition, due to the larger usage of national resources in key sectors, the provinces with more common key sectors with national economy have higher GDP per capita. Thus, it seems due to inconsistency between some regional economic structure with national one, considering the provincial key sectors in national economic planning leads to optimal use of national resources through increasing the GDP per capita and decreasing the interregional disparities.

Abstract

To prevent gasoline smuggling to abroad and its excessive consumption in the country, the price of gasoline increased and gasoline was quoted in 2019. This policy has affected the consumption expenditures of different income groups of households. To compensate the expenditures increment, the government pays subsidies to some income groups of households. This paper investigates the effects of this policy on the consumption expenditures of different income deciles in urban and rural areas and compares them with gasoline subsidies. To this end, a developed version of implicit subsidy elimination model is employed. The input-output table of Iran for the year 2016 is used as database of the research. The results of the research indicate that the subsidy of the government will cover the consumption expenditure increment due to its gasoline price policy for all target income groups. However, this policy fails to compensate the increment of the consumption expenditure in the case in which the labour force and capital owners adjust their endowments and the exchange rate is changed with respect to domestic price inflation.

Abstract

Green growth emphasizes the production and supply of eco-friendly products and is considered a suitable strategy for economic growth along with the preservation of natural resources and reducing pollution emission in different countries. Given that Iran as a developing country does not perform well in terms of the green growth index, it is necessary to evaluate energy consumption, pollution of various economic activities, and identifying economic opportunities for green growth in terms of production and employment indicators. This study, using the multi-factor energy input-output method and input-output table data related to 2016, investigates the impact of final demand on primary energy consumption, CO2 emission, economic growth, and energy jobs which in turn identifies green growth potentials in Iran's economic sectors with considering both growth and employment indicators. The results show that the sectors related to the production of agricultural and livestock products, services and food products have the lowest CO2 emissions for each unit of production growth and the growth of energy jobs. On the other hand, due to the low growth potential of transportation services, base metals, rubber and plastic products, encouraging higher final demand for products will not be attractive; so that, structural changes in these sectors are necessary for planning green growth.

Abstract

Aim and Introduction
In the conventional Input-Output model, all final demand components including household consumption, government expenditures, capital accumulation and exports are considered as exogenous variables. The basic limitation of the open Input-Output model is ignorance the relationship between the production sector and the household. In this way, if there is an increase in demand for the products of some industries, such an event will directly lead to an increase in the production level of these industries in the first place. On the other hand, the increase in production in turn leads to an increase in the level of production in related industries through previous connections. The increase in income resulting from higher levels of household economic activities leads to an increase in household consumption and as a result stimulates more activities in the production sector. Based on this, the production sector and the households are related to each other through the income-consumption relationship.In order to estimate the income-consumption relationship, household consumption should be included as an endogenous variable in the Input-Output model, while in the conventional (open) Input-Output model, household consumption is considered as an exogenous variable. To solve this limitation, Miyazawa (1976) presented a new Input-Output model in which he considered household consumption as an endogenous variable. Miyazawa's model is known in the relevant literature as a semi-closed Input-Output model with endogenous consumption. Despite this, Miyazawa's model, similar to Keynes' consumption theory, considers household consumption solely as a function of current income, while according to other theories of consumption behavior, household consumption depends on other factors such as past consumption levels and income. It also depends on the expectation. Accordingly, in this research, the semi-closed Input-Output model with semi-endogenous consumption, introduced by Chen et al (2016), was used because this new model adapts the Input-Output model to other consumption theories and corrects the failure of the previous model. In this framework, household consumption is divided into two endogenous and exogenous parts, so that the endogenous component is influenced by current income and the exogenous component is influenced by other factors affecting consumption. In fact, it is only endogenous consumption that enters the mediation matrix.
Methodology
In this research, the results of the new semi-closed Input-Output model with semi-endogenous consumption (Chen et al (2016) model) and the semi-closed Input-Output model with completely endogenous consumption (Miyazawa (1976) model) were compared. In this regard, first, endogenous consumption coefficients for 12 product groups were estimated using the Kalman filter model, and then, the estimated endogenous consumption coefficient of each category of goods was compared to the endogenous consumption coefficient of the data sections by means of the interface matrix. The receipt was converted.
In order to compare the performance of the two models of Miyazawa (1976) and the model of Chen et al (2016), the effect of government capital formation on the value added of different sectors was evaluated using the two mentioned models.
Findings
Failure to consider other factors affecting consumption will lead to upward deviation in GDP estimation. In this way, it can be concluded that the semi-endogenous model solves the insufficiency of the completely endogenous model and its results are closer to reality.
Discussion and Conclusion

the gross domestic product was obtained based on fully endogenous and semi-endogenous models (9601201) and (9329172), respectively. These findings show that Miyazawa model considers all household consumption as a function of current income, and also due to the lack of consideration of other factors affecting consumption such as expected income, consumption level. Also, in Chen et al.'s model, the calculated added value is smaller compared to Miyazawa's model, because by analyzing and separating exogenous consumption from total consumption, only endogenous consumption entered the table of intermediary exchanges.

Abstract

Introduction:
International trade is usually associated with competition. During this competition, successful producers have lower production costs. Reducing the cost of production requires the use of different ways. One of these ways is the better use of primary production factors such as labor force. Thus, this paper attempts to investigate the effect of changes in foreign trade along with other effective factors on changes in labor force usage in Iran.
Methodology: 
There are several methods to study the quality of labor force usage. The labor force productivity is considered as a criterion that is used in many researches. To this end, this study investigates the effects of foreign trade on labor force productivity changes in different production sectors. The data required for this research are provided from the input-output tables of 2011 and 2016, the national accounts and the results of the population and housing census for the years 2011 and 2016. For this purpose, first, symmetric tables of the sample years have been made with the assumption of sector technology, using consumption and supply tables of these years. Then, in order to calculate productivity and compare them in the sample years, the dimensions of the created tables have been standardized. Finally, using the Structural Decomposition Analysis (SDA) approach, the effects of changes in trade balance, along with export and import ratio to trade balance, export and import structure, self-sufficiency, production technology and employment on changes in labor force productivity are determined.
At the sectoral level, the value of the production of the industrial sector in 2016 compared to the corresponding value in 2011 (at the price of 2016) has decreased due to the recession prevailing in this sector. The value of products at fixed prices in trade and repair and mining sectors, including crude oil and natural gas, has decreased due to reasons such as sanctions and low economic growth in these periods. In contrast, the value of production shows an increase at a fixed price in the public affairs, defense and social security /real estate and real estate services/transportation and agriculture sectors.

Results and Discussion:
The total value of production in 2016 compared to 2011 has increased nearly 2006.70 million Rials at the price of 2016. The number of employed people in the country has increased by 2,113,120 people during this period. Because of these changes, the productivity of the country's labor force has reached from 1038.12 million Rials in 2011 (at the price of 2016) to 1029.84 million Rials in 2016, which shows a decrease of 8.28 million Rials.
At the sectoral level, the value of the production of the industry sector in 2016 compared to the corresponding value in 2011 (at the price of 2016) has decreased due to the recession prevailing in this sector. The value of products at fixed prices in trade and repair/ and mining sectors, including crude oil and natural gas, has decreased in these years due to reasons such as sanctions and low economic growth. In contrast, the value of production shows an increase at a fixed price in the public affairs, defense and social security/real estate and real estate services/, transportation/ and agricultural sectors.  In view of employment, the agricultural sector has faced a decrease in employment during the study period. In contrast, the industrial/, and trade and repair/ sectors have faced an increase in employment. Because of these changes, the industry/, trade and repair/ sectors have faced a decrease in labor productivity. Whereas the agriculture sector/, transportation/, public affairs administration, defense and social security/ and the activities of real estate and real estate service companies/ have faced an increase in labor productivity.
From the point of view of foreign trade, the industry sector has seen the largest increase in exports, while the electricity sector has faced the largest decrease in exports. In terms of imports, the industry sector has experienced the largest increase, while the education sector has experienced the largest decrease. The correlation coefficient between the exports of the sectors and the productivity of their labor force has been positive. While the correlation coefficient of the different sectors with the productivity of their labor force has been negative. However, the value of these correlation coefficients shows a decrease in 2016 compared to 2011.
Conclusion:
The results of research show that foreign trade has improved labor productivity in the country. In addition, the exports of sectors have relatively similar relationship with the productivity of their labor force, in contrast, the import of goods has an inverse relationship with the productivity of their producing sectors. However, this issue has received less attention in 2016 compared to 2011, which has led to changes in the structure of exports and imports to reduce labor force productivity.

Abstract

The first constitution written in Iran consisted of the "Nezam Nameh Asasi" and its supplement, drafted following the Constitutional Movement's victory, called "Mashruteh" in 1906 and 1907. This document, which marked a turning point in the constitutionalism movement in Iran, was influenced by the constitutions of countries such as Belgium, France, Bulgaria, Germany, and the Ottoman Empire. In this regard, the authors in another text have examined the extent and manner of this emulation.
This article analyzes constitutional laws using a comparative approach, examining their patterns and comparing them to the "Mashruteh" constitution. The model laws are evaluated using two criteria: rights and freedoms, and public powers. Then, the "Mashruteh" constitution's position regarding these laws is analyzed through a comparative study. As a result of this research, it becomes clear that the Iranian law, in the classification of types of constitutional laws, is placed in the category of semi-authoritarian laws similar to its model laws and among them, with a greater inclination towards democratic Regulations, follows countries such as Belgium and Bulgaria. Meanwhile, the influence of the specific conditions of Iran during the Qajar era and the necessity of paying attention to religious and Islamic issues have created many unique examples in this constitution that distinguish it from all of its models.
