this paper studies housing choice under fuzzy circumstances. in this article, fuzzy distance method is employed for selection process. methodology of housing choice with fuzzy distance approach is based on the minimizing fuzzy distance of features from desired amount under fuzzy condition. meanwhile, in the discrete choice models, housing choice is based on utility maximizing of available optio...

this study is an attempt to develop a model of the simultaneous structure of the aggregate dynamic supply and demand to be used for estimation of parameters from data related to iran’s economy. the method for developing the model is an application of the dynamic and simultaneous process of aggregate supply and demand. obtained differential equations are used for solve the model. to estimate the...

exchange rate has the fundamental role as one of the economy key variables in determining the domestic price. so it is important to know how is the empirical relationship between the exchange rate and domestic prices and the factors influencing this relationship. the main objective of this study is to determine the effect of vehichel imports share on the exchange rate pass – through on domestic...

this paper focuses on the residential sector demand for electricity, natural gas and petroleum products (kerosene, gas oil and lpg) in iran in the context of a popular locally flexible functional forms - “the almost ideal demand system (aids)”. we pay explicit attention to the theoretical regularity conditions of positivity, monotonicity, and curvature. we treat the curvature property as a main...

this study examines technical efficiency in iran's banking system using unbalanced panel data for 17 state and private banks during the 1997-2009 period. therefore, technical efficiency of banks was measured through estimating a translog cost function in the form of a panel sfa error compound model. then, the effect of underlying factors including both individual and structural (ownership/...

the main aim goal of this paper is estimating time series of social capital in iran. for this aim, first we have reviewed theoretical and empirical literature of social capital, and then we used fuzzy method for estimating time series of social capital. we used latent variable, because social capital is a qualify variable. crime and participation indexes are two related variables with social ca...

the objective of this study is to estimate the demand for money in iran using the autoregressive distributed lag (ardl) approach to cointegration analysis. the empirical results show that there is a unique cointegrated and stable long-run relationship among m1 monetary aggregate, income, inflation and exchange rate. we find that the income elasticity and exchange rate coefficients are positive ...

human capital has important role on economic growth. this factor can increase labor and capital productivity. it can increase capacity of new technology and reduce criminal participation and improve voters’ political behavior and migration of people with high human capital to another region has effects on region and spatial spillover on other regions. the present study aimed to analyze the dire...

this paper explores the importance of oil sector in providing input for economic sectors and also its changes during the last decades in iran. to that end, the partial and total forward linkage between oil sector and other domestic production sectors as well as their changes are examined using the input-output tables of the years 1986 and 2001. and also based on the information on hand, perform...
