One of its important dimensions is paying attention to social justice within the framework of regional equilibrium. The present article tries to investigate this important dimension for the tenth government in Iran. With the aim of analyzing regional equilibrium process and providing priorities for the development of the provinces can play an effective role in national policies to promote regional equality and decentralization. Using multi-dimensional decision making (MADM) and Topsis model, after the formation of a Regression and Matrix model with 21 indicators and 157 sub-indicators for the developmental level of the provinces, it was revealed that Tehran and South Khorasan provinces placed first and last respectively and using the cluster model Iranian provinces were categorized into five groups from which one province was a highly developed province, six provinces were  developed, 11 provinces with moderate development, 12 undeveloped provinces and 1 was considered as a deprived province. Among other results of the study, we can mention the direct relationship between the development of regions with population growth and its indirect relation with the spatial distance from the capital for groups of 5 in the cluster method. Also, a ranking of the provinces is presented in terms of institutional indicators.","PeriodicalId":38289,"journal":{"name":"Iranian Economic Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44701530","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}

Hajian","doi":"10.22059/IER.2021.81862","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.22059/IER.2021.81862","url":null,"abstract":"From the perspective of local economic development, on the one hand, free zones increase trade and attract some necessary technical and capital expertise and therefore, lead to the economy dynamics. On the other hand, the resiliency of these areas causes free zones to observe less fluctuation over time and will suffer less damage. Today, the concept of efficiency and effectiveness is one of the things to be taken noticed by many economists. Therefore, using the indices of Burman et al. (2013) and Briguglio (2003) and window analysis, this paper is to investigate the resiliency and efficiency of Iranian free zones. Accordingly, using the resiliency indices of Burman et al. (2013) and Briguglio (2003), free zones of Kish, Qeshm, Chabahar, Anzali, Arvand, and Aras over the period of 2011–2015 are evaluated. Results indicate that most free trade zones have not operated in accordance with the resiliency based on the sub-indices of exports rate, imports, ratio of exports to total, trade balance, foreign and domestic investment, employment, income, and the number of registered firms. Results of the DEA indicated that the only free zone is Anzali which was functioning efficiently. Therefore, it is recommended that the government provides conditions for attracting foreign and domestic investment through giving tax incentives, refining laws, custom taxes, etc. The re-export of imported goods can be effective in improving performance in these areas.","PeriodicalId":38289,"journal":{"name":"Iranian Economic Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49305233","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}

Estimation results show that village funds and the number of cooperatives have a negative impact on the number of poor people. This means that the higher the Village Fund and the number of cooperatives in districts and cities of East Java Province, the decreased the number of poor people in the region.

To tackle the issue of aggregation bias, the current research deploys disaggregated level (commodity-wise) data to explore the effects of oscillations in the exchange rate on bilateral trade between Pakistan and its major trading partner Saudi Arabia. Employing the annual data from 1981 to 2018, ARDL bound testing approach confirms the long-run association among the modeled variables. The application of the ARDL approach reveals the following results. First, exchange rate volatility exhibits the dynamic effects on 72% of total exporting industries in the short-run, while this impact reduces to 51% of exporting industries in the long-run. Second, 56% of total importing industries demonstrate a significant response to the volatility in the short-run, while these effects expand to 73% importing industries in the long-run. Third, the current study's unique finding is that three big industries of exports function coded as 42, 66, and 75 with a share of 35%, 7% & 6%, respectively, enjoy the positive effects of the volatility in the long-run. Also, the current work suggests some appropriate policy recommendations.","PeriodicalId":38289,"journal":{"name":"Iranian Economic Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42964569","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 impact of such policy reforms on government size has remained a contentious issue in the literature. Thus, this study examined the relationship between openness and government size in Sub-Saharan African countries. The study covered twenty-one African countries over the period 2001 to 2019. Specifically, the study examined the validity of the compensation and efficiency hypotheses with respect to Sub-Saharan African countries. The findings of the study did not support the existence of both the compensation and the efficiency hypotheses. Also, it was observed that financial openness had an insignificant influence on the relationship between trade openness and government size in Sub-Saharan African countries.

However, this method merely focuses on the direct effects on the project's level and ignores the economic and social impacts and indirect national and regional impacts. This method also is limited to selecting discount rates and tax position adjustments. It ignores both the benefits users receive from increasing the quality of services through public-private partnerships and the project's financing methods. So ignoring these problems can lead to significant errors in assessments. Therefore, the present paper aims at using a complementary approach to make decisions about investing by public-private partnership method in one of the infrastructures of water resources development in the country. In this regard, the effect of building, financing, and operation of the desalination project and water transfer from the Persian Gulf to industry and mine sectors in the southeastern provinces of the country by a public-private partnership model and using the recursive dynamic FCGE model to Iran's economic growth simulate and compare it to the traditional procurement model. Based on the results, if the project is financed in the traditional procurement model (through increasing tax revenues) and if it is financed through public-private partnerships (through the capital market) without increasing the productivity rate, it has no economic justification. In other words, this project is economically justifiable only if it is implemented by a public-private partnership contract and increasing productivity by at least 0.01% during the operation period.","PeriodicalId":38289,"journal":{"name":"Iranian Economic Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45926748","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 results show that, first, in the short and long terms, the greater the information asymmetry, the lower the financial development. Second, among the ICT indicators, only mobile internet can improve the financial system in the countries under study in the short term through information symmetry.
