Abstract

The historical centripetal behavior of the government has made the border regions as periphery of the central areas in Iran. The regional disparities in Iran root in the economic structure of the country. Iran is one of the main exporters of petroleum and natural gas. The huge revenues of natural resources have reduced the dependence of central government to domestic economic activities and made Iran one of the closest economies in the world. This paper studies the pattern and determinants of public budget allocation to the border regions in Iran over the period 1989?2007. The results show that different characteristics of the border provinces such as geographical position, economic conditions, type of borders, distances from the capital, and natural resource richness influence the level and trend of their realized budgets.

伊朗边境地区公共预算分配模式及决定因素

历史上政府的向心行为使伊朗的边境地区成为伊朗中部地区的边缘。伊朗的地区差异根源于该国的经济结构。伊朗是石油和天然气的主要出口国之一。巨大的自然资源收入减少了中央政府对国内经济活动的依赖，使伊朗成为世界上最紧密的经济体之一。本文研究了1989 ~ 2007年伊朗边境地区公共预算分配模式及其决定因素。结果表明，边境省份的地理位置、经济条件、边界类型、与首都的距离、自然资源丰富程度等不同特征影响了其预算实现的水平和趋势。

期刊介绍： The Economic Bulletin is an open-access letters journal founded in 2001 with the mission of providing free and extremely rapid scientific communication across the entire community of research economists. EB publishes original notes, comments, and preliminary results. We are especially interested in publishingmanuscripts that keep the profession informed about on-going research programs. Our publication standard is that a manuscript be original, correct and of interest to a specialist. Submissions in these categories are refereed and our objective is to make a decision within two months. Accepted papers are published immediately. It is expected that in many cases, manuscripts published in these categories will form the foundation for more complete works to besubsequently submitted to other journals. In all cases, submissions are restricted to seven printed pages exclusive of references, tables, figures, and appendices, and must be in PDF format. EB also publishes non-refereed letters to the editor, conference announcements and research announcements.
