However, the level of human development varies among the member countries, with the majority of the members categorized under low and medium levels of human development. To explore more information about the effect of financial inclusion on human development across different level of human development of OIC countries, this study used panel quantile regression to examine the effect of financial inclusion on low, medium, high and very high human development levels of OIC countries. The results revealed that financial inclusion promote higher human development in countries with medium human development, because of increase in income and investment in countries that move from low-income level to medium income status. Institutions found to promote higher human development in countries with high and very high human development and negatively affect human development in countries with low and medium human development levels. Also, remittance inflows have positive effect on human development across all levels of human development but stronger in countries at lower level of human development. Thus, policymakers in OIC should formulate policies that will promote financial inclusion in low- and meddle-income countries to achieve higher human development. In addition, policymakers should revitalize institutions especially in countries with low and medium human development levels. Also, the cost of sending remittance into OIC should be reduce to attract more remittances into the member countries.","PeriodicalId":38289,"journal":{"name":"Iranian Economic Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48586464","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Systemic risk in finance means the probability of a sudden crash of an entire financial system. This risk can lead to inconsistency or chaos in financial markets. Another important matter in the discussion of systemic risk is the contagion of risk, which is the probability of the spread of major economic changes in a country. In this research, statistical data of real and virtual currencies over the years 2015-2020 are used. For this purpose, the indices of systemic risk were calculated using CoVaR and MES, and then the correlation between the systemic risks of the evaluated currencies was created. In this analysis, the statistical data of the currencies of the exchange rate of the Pound to the Dollar, the exchange rate of the Yuan to the Dollar, the exchange rate of the Lira to the Dollar, the exchange rate of the euro to the Dollar, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, Litecoin and Ethereum Classic based on the daily price turnover of cryptocurrencies and real currencies are used. The result showed that there was a correlation between the systemic risk indices in relation to the studied currencies and virtual currencies had a lower systemic risk index than real currencies.","PeriodicalId":38289,"journal":{"name":"Iranian Economic Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45247791","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, the main motivation of the present study is to understand the severity of the effect of health shock on Iran’s oil economy using a Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium model. After calibrating the parameters based on the quarterly information of Iran's economy during the period of 1991-2016, the adjusted model has been simulated in three scenarios, based on the persistence of health disaster risk and the deterioration of health capital due to the disease outbreak. The results show that the occurrence of a health disaster risk shock by a standard deviation caused severe fluctuations in macroeconomic and health variables. On the other hand, with the reduction of production and health status, the development path of Iran's economy has been challenged. According to the research findings, it is recommended that the government, as a policy-maker, play a stabilizing role under pandemic crises conditions.","PeriodicalId":38289,"journal":{"name":"Iranian Economic Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47452444","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study findings suggest that all the gravity variables (Gross domestic product, population, and distance) are in line with a priori expectations; currency union dummy produced a positive association with intra-regional trade integrations; real effective exchange rate appreciation boosts trade performance, and the interaction of currency union and institutional quality produced a positive impact on intra-regional trade flows among the countries in the West African region. Among the disaggregated institutional quality index, the rule of law and political stability have a significant impact on trade flows. The rule of law influenced trade flows positively, while political stability influenced trade flows negatively. The study concludes that the Rose effect of a common currency on trade exists in West Africa and that the level of institutional quality also subscribes to the currency union trade flows relationship.","PeriodicalId":38289,"journal":{"name":"Iranian Economic Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49362863","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this essay, a comparison between different perspectives on the knowledge economy was done, and then the knowledge economy is defined as “achieving higher productivity levels by utilizing knowledge”. After examining factors affecting productivity, these factors are classified into four categories including 1- Governance quality and business environment; 2- Quality of information and communication infrastructure; 3- Economic freedom and international relations quality; and 4- Level of knowledge and innovation. Subsequently, by calculating the productivity level for 54 countries and dividing the productivity of each country into these four factors above, the contribution of the fourth factor, and the role of knowledge and innovation in the knowledge economy were calculated and presented as the indicator of the knowledge economy. In each of these four categories, three or more indicators were placed, and fifteen indicators were used. The data of the 15 indicators were extracted in a panel containing information from 54 countries between 2000 and 2016. The weight of different productivity factors was estimated using the Bayesian Panel method. Results of the ranking of the selected countries indicate that the United States, Japan, and Germany are leading countries in a knowledge-based economy.","PeriodicalId":38289,"journal":{"name":"Iranian Economic Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48273871","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Plastic wastes and rotten fruits are two instances of widely used inputs for recycling factories. In this paper, weak disposability of inputs will be presented with non-uniform profit factors for inputs, and then the model will be extended to cases which consume normal and widely used inputs, and produce desirable and undesirable outputs, simultaneously. Due to a nonlinear form of the final model, a linearization method is presented to provide a linear structure of the technology. Actually, a directional distance function approach, including weakly disposable inputs and outputs is introduced to deal with widely used inputs and undesirable outputs. Finally, the approach will be tested by applying it on some domestic sewage treatment plants in China. Results show the proposed approach can discriminate between DMUs in a rational way and less computational efforts and also it can be used for the efficiency analysis when widely used inputs and undesirable outputs are presented.","PeriodicalId":38289,"journal":{"name":"Iranian Economic Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47169526","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Understanding the tools and criteria of monetary policies such as changes in target inflation, changes in relative weights of prices stability and employment, and its effect on different sections of society including households and economic firms can help economic policymakers to increase the effectiveness of monetary policies. This paper studies the time consistency and structure of optimal monetary policy from the viewpoint of public sector finance concerning the heterogeneous behavior of economic agents in form of keeping liquidity and nominal assets in Iran. The study utilizes time-series data quarterly from Q1 1989 to Q4 2017. A new Keynesian dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) models have been developed for monetary policy analysis in open economies. Results show that the redistribution effect of monetary policy leads to breakage of the link between time consistency and high inflation; a characteristic that belongs to optimal monetary and fiscal policies.","PeriodicalId":38289,"journal":{"name":"Iranian Economic Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47345608","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this context, the discount rate is a vital variable for the accurate evaluation of economic projects. Considering the different approaches that governmental and private sectors use to implement the investment projects, for evaluation of the governmental and public projects, a separate discount rate is used called social discount rate (SDR). In this article by using the structural equation modeling, we have estimated the SDR trend in the Iranian economy during the period 1996- 2016. To do that by extracting influencing & consequence factors of SDR (as a latent variable), we applied a Multiple Indicators and Multiple Causes (MIMIC) model. The SDR trend, as the main finding of this paper, seems to be robust enough due to its explanatory power for fluctuations of the Iranian economy in reality. The results imply that the SDR has had a mild decreasing trend in Iran's economy during the sample period and among influencing variables, the inflation rate has had the most impact on its trend. Accordingly, when the level of prices rocketed during the periods 2012-14, the SDR trend experienced a more than 60% increasing jump. However, the GDP has been the variable that mostly affected by the SDR fluctuations. It seems that controlling inflation and consequently social inflationary expectation can be proposed as a proper policy recommendation to manage SDR and its distorting impacts in Iran.","PeriodicalId":38289,"journal":{"name":"Iranian Economic Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44143019","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
