Simultaneous Estimation of Markup and Return to Scale in Manufacturing Industries of Iran
Somayeh Azami, Sajedeh Jalilian, Maryam Ahmadi,
Volume 7, Issue 25 (10-2016)
Abstract

The current study is an attempt to estimate markup and return to scale of 19 two-digit ISIC manufacturing industries of Iran, simultaneously, in accordance to Solow Residual and Structural approach, during the period 1995-2007. Based on Solow Residual approach, the neoclassical assumption of constant return to scale is approved within 95% of manufacturing industries; however in 84% of industries the price was higher than marginal cost significantly. Based on structural approach, 53% of manufacturing industries of Iran are experiencing increasing return to scale significantly; however, in 79% of industries, the price is higher than marginal cost. According to the criteria share of the cost of inputs in income as a theoretic criteria for return to scale-markup ratio, in 53% of cases, structural approach estimates this ratio closer to the reality.


Dose the Impact of The Minimum Wage on Inflation in Iran Depend on the Position of the Economy in a Particular Stage of the Business Cycle?

Abstract

Over past decades there have been conflicting views on whether raising the minimum wage increases inflation. This study updates and expands earlier research into this subject and fills a void in the empirical literature by studying that the impacts of the minimum wage on inflation could be altered in the different economic situations. In framework of cost push inflation theoretical background, the direct and indirect effects of minimum wage changes on wage and inflation can be seen as taking place in several stages. The overall wage inflation outcome can, of course, also depend on the position of the economy in a particular stage of the business cycle. To examine this hypothesis, we used a Markov regime-switching model to study the impact of minimum wage increases on inflation over expansion or recession situations in Iran during the 1973- 2013 period. The comparison between a single-regime and regime shifting models provides the similar results for the sample period. The most important finding of this study is that there is no significant impact of minimum wage increases on inflation regardless of economic situations. However, the results show that the inflation shock positively impacts minimum wage in both models. In sum, our results provide a significant contribution to the empirical literature by verifying that the effectiveness of minimum wage on inflation is not dependent on the business cycle economic situation. The main policy implication for Iran's economy deriving from this study is that the minimum wages should be increased to compensate wage workers for real-wage decrease caused by inflation, without any concern about its inflationary effects.

Abolfazl Shahabadi, Mahsoomeh Ahmadi, Ali Moradi Ali Moradi,
Volume 9, Issue 31 (3-2018)
Abstract
The insurance industry as a means of transferring risk and paying damages, ensures the future and the confidence of individuals and as an investor's institution, It cumulation the saving resources and allocates it to the needs of investment and economic growth of the countries. Therefore, it is necessary to identify the factors influencing the development of this industry in countries with a low insurance penetration and action must be taken regarding reinforcement the increasing factors and Elimination its decreasing factors.In this regard, the present study has tried to determine the interaction between financial development and economic freedom indicators (total index, size of government, legal system and property rights, sound money, freedom to trade internationally and regulations) on the penetration insurance in Fifteen unsuccessful insurers will be insured over the period 2014-2000. For this purpose, the research model was estimated using panel data and generalized moment’s method. The results it shows the interaction of financial development and all index of economic freedom on insurance penetration the in selected countries have had a positive and meaningful.  Also, the individual effect of financial development and total economic freedom index is positive and significant. However, their individual influence on the insurance penetration is less than their interaction. Finally, the effect of control variables including per capita income, human capital and urbanization rate on the insurance penetration in the selected countries have had a positive and meaningful and the effect of unemployment and inflation have had a negative and meaningful.

Volume 12, Issue 44 (7-2021)
Abstract
Many governments face a trade-off between health and economy during the coronavirus pandemic. Social distancing and lockdown caused decline in gross domestic product of coronavirus affected countries. In this study, by using the input-output table of 2011, the hypothetical extraction method is used to extract 10 selected economic activities hypothetically from economic system and examine the direct and indirect effect of this extraction on Iran’s gross output. Results show that extraction of passenger transport, aviculture and clothing sectors result in the greatest reductions in gross domestic product. Furthermore, extraction of accommodation services, travel agency and tour operator activities and foodservice industry as representative of the tourism sector is able to reduce total output by almost one percent. Considering these ten selected sectors, 6.5 percent of Iran’s total economic output would be impacted by coronavirus outbreak.
