A Survey on the Share of Terms of Trade Changes on the Exchange Rate Uncertainty in Iran's Economy

The terms of trade is one of the important tools for the macro-economic analysis and the most principle issue in this analysis is a dual relationship between the terms of trade and the exchange rate. The changes in the relative prices are the consequent of the fluctuations in the   terms of trade and exchange rate. This paper focuses on the short-run and long-run effects of the terms of trade  on the exchange rate in Iran's economy  during 1959-2004,by using the:ARDL(Auto-Regressive Distributed Lag Model),VECM(Vector Error Correction Model)and the impulse response function of VAR(Vector  Auto-Regressive). The results show that although there is a relationship between the terms of trade and exchange rate but the impact of the terms of trade shocks on the exchange rate fluctuation is petty and the main changes of exchange rate in Iran is the consequent of itself.GDP has a positive effec            on the terms of trade improvement and congruently the terms of trade improvement reduces inflation. The other result signifies that the terms of trade has a negative effect on the economic growth. This is the consequent of adoption of wrong economic –commercial policy

The Impact of Social Security Expenditures on Convergence of Income Distribution in Provinces: A Spatial Econometric Approach

Income inequality is an important obstacle to the growth and expansion of social welfare. Developed societies use various tools to overcome this problem. The social security system is one of the most well-known of these tools. In this study, the effect of social security costs on the convergence of income distribution in the provinces of the country in the period 1397-1387 has been investigated. In this research, the subject has been studied through spatial methodology. The results showed that the long-term costs of social security have a significant negative effect on the convergence of income distribution in the provinces, but short-term costs have no effect. Absolute and conditional convergence coefficient shows that the provinces of the country converge to a level of income distribution in the long run. The estimated convergence velocity is 0.061 in the absolute convergence state and 0.075 in the conditional state. The findings also showed that inflation and human capital have a positive and significant effect and Internet penetration has a negative and significant effect on the convergence of income distribution. Kuznets hypothesis was confirmed in the provinces. The study of the effects of overflows in 1397 showed that the long-term costs of social security in one province affect the neighboring provinces and Isfahan province due to its proximity to 9 provinces has been able to have the greatest effect of overflows on other provinces
