this paper extends endogenous growth models through augmenting it with government budget and oil revenues as well as the effect of public investment efficiency on long run growth of private and government consumption and import for an oil producing economy. based on the extracted model, the optimal growth rate of government current expenditure (or consumption) has a positive relation with the e...

in this paper, we intend to investigate the impact of privatization on economic growth in developing and transition economies. previous studies that have attempted to measure this relationship have conflicting results, some indicating a positive impact of privatization on growth, while others indicate a negative relationship. our study uses recent world bank data on privatization for 117 countr...

This paper investigates the relationship between inflation and growth uncertainty in Iran for the period of 1988-2008 by using quarterly data. We employ Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity in Mean (GARCH-M) model to estimate time-varying conditional residual variance of growth, as a standard measures of growth uncertainty. The empirical evidence shows that growth uncertain...

using crop simulation models is an efficient complement to experimental research. crop models can also be helpful with respect to decision-making in sustainable farming system. this study was done to estimate genetic coefficients and evaluate performanced dssat in prediction of development, growth and yield in wheat. data from various field experiments for four wheat cultivars koohdasht, shirou...

the aim of this study was to determine the optimal cutting cycle in an uneven-aged beech forest in the north of iran. first of all, a logistic growth model was determined for an uneven aged forest. then, the stumpage price was predicted via an autoregressive model. the average stumpage price of beech was derived from actual timber, round wood, fire and pulpwood prices at road side minus the var...
