This study examines the effectiveness of two major policy instruments -exchange rate management and monetary policy- in mitigating food price anomalies in Iran. Using seasonal data from 2004 to 2022 and employing the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model, the research identifies the key drivers of food price anomalies and evaluates the relative and joint impact of exchange rate depreciation and money supply growth. Results show that the most severe anomalies coincided with global crises (2007–2008, 2011, 2020, 2022) and intensified sanctions (2011–2012, 2018). Exchange rate depreciation and expansionary monetary policy significantly increased anomalies in both the short and long run, while higher import volumes helped dampen price fluctuations. Notably, monetary policy exhibited the strongest and most persistent effect. The error correction mechanism indicates a slow adjustment process, suggesting long-lasting impacts of shocks. The study recommends greater coordination between monetary and exchange rate policies, along with fiscal discipline, exchange rate unification, subsidy reforms, inflation-aligned interest rates, and strengthened strategic reserves to enhance resilience in Iran’s food market.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48015,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Policy Modeling","volume":"48 1","pages":"Pages 73-88"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146081513","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results suggest that governments should increase environmental policy stringency (EPS) and policymakers should foster research and development (R&D) expenditures and bolster environmental innovation to align with existing initiatives, particularly within SDGs 7, 9, and 13.

Analytical results show that individual producer risk attitudes matter. Specifically, our study shows that the producer insurance decisions, the market shares of the different insurance options, and the welfare impacts of crop insurance are very much dependent on the producer aversion to risk as well as the risk exposure faced by producers, the reduction in this risk exposure offered by crop insurance, and the crop insurance premiums. Understanding the producer response to different crop insurance options is important for the formulation of policies that align with diverse risk profiles. Our analysis indicates that maintaining the status quo will further exacerbate regional differences in the economic impacts of crop insurance. Our analysis suggests that crop insurance policy design should consider a customized approach through a variable premium subsidy scheme to effectively address regional disparities in risk exposure and insurance coverage.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48015,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Policy Modeling","volume":"48 1","pages":"Pages 241-254"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146081510","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Systematically, one proposal to fight poverty and inequality is the implementation of a basic income. Detractors of this proposal argue that the cost of this measure is too high and criticise the potential disincentives to work and efficiency reduction. However, most studies simulating this kind of policy ignore the effects on employment and outcome. This paper simulates a bunch of reforms that replace the personal income tax with a basic income flat tax scheme. The analysis uses a behavioural microsimulation model of the Spanish tax-benefit system, which includes labour supply reactions. The results show that basic income - flat tax reform is feasible (in the sense that tax collection is kept constant in all simulations) and reduces poverty and inequality. However, the cost in terms of efficiency, measured by gross income and labour supply, is not negligible. This reduction in efficiency reduces social welfare and offsets the improvement of the social welfare achieved by the decrease of inequality.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48015,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Policy Modeling","volume":"48 1","pages":"Pages 23-42"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146081520","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
