In this article we explain the production behavior in National Iranian oil Company (NIOC) from Transaction Cost Economics’ (TCE) view. The main question in TCE is vertical integration or build or buy decision. So we can analyse governance structure of NIOC for developing plans from buying (buy back contracts) or bulding methods in production of hydrocarbon (Oil and Gas). TCE says Governance Structure aligns itself with Characteristics of Transaction subject to minimization of transactions costs. For surveying this subject, we analysed effective factors on generating transaction costs and governance structure of production in NIOC with using probit model. The results of article relatively supported from TCE hypothesis.

Statistics indicate a continuous growth in gasoline consumption for transportation in Iran. The volume of domestic consumption of gasoline in recent years has exceeded the country’s refining capacity, and a substantial volume has to be imported to meet the increasing demand for fuel. A growing urban population, together with ever increasing popularity of cars and subsidized fuel prices are considered among the most significant factors for this phenomenon. Which, among other problems, has created a substantial burden for the public budget and a rather serious air pollution in urban communities. Although, rising fuel consumption and its environmental impact could be seen as a common problem in most countries today, it is noteworthy however, that technological progress in urban transportation has presented certain useful alternatives. This study attempts to use advanced econometric methods to postulate a perspective for the long term gasoline consumption in Iran. Subsequently, it proceeds to examines the economic feasibility of utilizing a more advanced automobiles (i.e. Electro Hybrid cars) as an alternative mean for urban transportation. Findings of the study indicate a rather substantial stream of benefits for the economy, in terms of reduced gasoline consumption, as well as, lower air pollution for urban centers.

This paper uses the growth model of Stokey (1998) extended by Deng and Huang (2009) to examine the dynamic relationship between output and environmental pollution in Iran. After solving the model and deriving the necessary conditions for sustainable growth path, the model is used to examine the presence of Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) for Iran. Using MATLAB software, the model is calibrated for the Iranian economy for the period 1959-2008. This allows us to find optimal paths for key variables. The result shows that that the Iranian economy is not on its optimal sustainable growth path. Moreover, simulation results indicate that there is a positive relationship between income per capita and CO2 per capita over time. Hence, we might claim that the Iranian economy is probably on its early stage of growth. In other words, Iran might still be on the negative part of EKC. In addition, our simulation result shows that there will be a threshold level for per capita income in which the quality of environment starts improving after this point. Hence, one might conclude that the EKC might be true for Iran.

There are two approaches for timing business cycles, namely "growth cycle" and "classical cycle". Though different, these approaches are complementary. This paper studies business cycles timing in 10 OPEC members[1] based on Markov Switching Model, introduced by Hamilton (1989). The results show that after Qatar, Iran suffered the least probability of recession and enjoyed the highest probability of boom. Iran's economic growth among 10 countries however has been the ninth, putting it just above Nigeria.
[1]. The OPEC member's studies here are: Iran, Ecuador, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, United Emirates Arabia, Libya, Nigeria, Qatar, Venezuela and Algeria. These were no data available on Iraq and Angola.

Trade openness, economic growth and environment are known as the major issues in recent decads. We considered the effect of expanding trade and economic growth on environmental quality for 11 country in the Middle East during the period of 1980 to 2010. Panel data econometric method and STATA software were used. Econometric tests confirmed fixed effects model among the pooled, fixed and random effects models. Each Arellano-Bond GMM regression model and Newey- West with 5 lags allowed were estimated beacuase of dynamic panel data and their results were compared with the results of fixed effects model and then were evaluated. We found per capita income has a significant positive impact on environmental pollution but further rise in income will reduce environmental pollution. Trade openness has negative effect and there is a non-significant effect on environmental pollution.

Financial development is an important factor in economic growth, particularly in developing economies. Financial development can increase the efficiency of the financial system and on the other hand it can affect the energy demand. This paper investigates the relationship between financial development and energy demand in Iran, Using the ARDL and ECM model in 1359 to 1386 . The paper seeks to answer the question whether there is a positive statistical relationship between two variables, financial development and energy demand. Finally, the existence of such a relationship was established in a statistical analysis both for short term and long term. Elasticity of the indicators of financial development in the long were obtained greater than 1. This indicates that the index of long term impact of financial development on energy demand is relatively high.
energy consumption, foreign trade, human development index have significant and positive effect on pollution; (iv) The results of static and dynamic models estimation are consistent together, although quantity of coefficients in dynamic model are smaller than static model. In dynamic model, the elasticity of pollution relative to institutions quality is (-0.2), which indicates dynamic effects of institutions quality on pollution is smaller than its static effects.

This research investigates the existence and direction of Granger causality between economic growth, energy consumption, and carbon emissions in Iran. A multivariate model including economic growth, energy consumption, carbon emissions, capital stock, labor force, and urban population is used to determine eventual causality between variables according to Toda-Yamamoto Approach. Results indicate that there is a bi-directional causality relationship between gross domestic product and CO2 emissions. Also, there is a uni-direction causality relationship from energy consumption to CO2 emissions. Finally, the results maintain that the EKC hypothesis for GDP and CO2 emissions is relevant in the period of study.

Asymmetric effects of oil shocks mean the difference between the positive and negative effects of oil shocks. Empirical studies show that these asymmetric effects can affect economic growth in oil-exporting countries as well as importing countries. In this regard, this paper tries to investigate the asymmetric effects of oil shocks on economic growth in oil-exporting countries (including Iran) during the period 1980-2011by using hidden panel Cointegration. This approach, in addition to analyzing the long-term non-liner relationship between the variables, has another important capability for modeling asymmetry between different variables. Firstly, it has been shown that there is a long relationship between cumulative positive and negative components in crude oil prices and GDP in these countries by using Kao panel co-integration (hidden co-integration verification). Then, their long- run asymmetric relationships are measured by using dynamic ordinary least squares (DOLS). The results of this study show the negative effects of oil shocks are more than the positive effects on the economic growth of oil-exporting countries.

This paper studied the relationship between energy consumption, GDP and CO2 emission (as an indicator of air pollution). The extent of the emission of CO2 and its relation to shocks and variation in economic variables in Iran was calculated. A model based on Kuznets hypothesis was built and econometric method of error correction was used for estimating the model and analyzing the long-term relation between the variables. The results indicate that there is a meaningful long-term relationship between the analyzed variable i.e. energy consumption, where GDP has a positive effect on CO2 emission. In addition the causal relation between the variables was studied and the following results were obtained: a two way causal relation between CO2 emission and energy consumption and a one way relation from GDP to CO2 emission in the short-term was found. Also the impact of an economic shock in GDP on the CO2 emission indicated an increase for 3 years and then a decline over 6 years.

The increasing demand of fossil fuels alongside its environmental pollution necessitates the optimal consumption of the fuels. In cold seasons, natural gas consumption increases and power plants of the country need to substitute their consumed fuel in order to supply electricity. This paper evaluated the substitution between consumable fuels in electricity production in six selected regional electricity companies during the years 1389-1386. Cost share equations of conventional fuels in electricity generation were estimated using the seemingly unrelated regression equations (SURE) estimator. Using the results of the estimation, equations of the own-and cross-price elasticities of the substitution of different fuels were calculated. According to the results of calculations, all the own price elasticities were negative and cross price elasticities were positive. The substitute elasticity between natural gas and gasoil was 1.56 and between natural gas and mazut was 1.3. Also, using the calculated elasticities, the substitution of fuels was applied with the aim of reducing CO2 emissions. The application results showed that the substitution of mazut with natural gas would reduce CO2 emissions, but the substitution of gasoil with natural gas would increase CO2 emissions.

The home sector has the largest share in the
The home sector has the largest share in the country's energy consumption, therefore, the present study tries to investigate the factors affecting the energy demand and the estimation of the deficient component in the energy expenditure gap of households using the approach of decomposition model by gathering data from families between 2008 and 2016. The result shows that income, education of householders, and urbanization have a negative influence, and the housing foundation has a positive and significant effect on the share of family energy expenditure. Evidence from the analysis of Oaxaca-Blinder Decomposition shows that the contribution of the deficient component in energy expenditure on total energy expenditure was 90. 4 and 84. 5 in 2008 and 2016, respectively. The outcome of meta-analysis reveals that in the fifth quantile, the share of the efficient component had been increased from 1. 16 percent in 2008 to 3. 05 percent in 2008, however, in the ninetyish quantile the contributions of the efficient component reached 22. 22 in 2016 from 15. 48 in 2008. So, efficiency improvement in energy consumption of households can play an important role in reducing energy consumption of households.

Due to the importance of economic relations and environmental potential issues, the relationship between economic growth and environmental degradation is a very important issue. Therefore, understanding the relationship between GDP growth, consumption and extraction of fossil fuels, use of renewable energy, and emissions in the Iranian economy are very important for sustainable development. In this study, we try to investigate how emissions (as the main cause of pollution) are affected by per capita income growth, innovation, renewable energy consumption, and extraction from non-renewable energy resources in a model with four equations (for Iran in period 1979 to 2019). By reviewing the wide range of studies, the framework developed in this paper has not been investigated in domestic or international studies. On the other hand, in this research, for estimating nonlinear simultaneous equations, the multi-objective optimization method and its application for estimating simultaneous equations in econometrics have been developed. (This method can be a way to estimate nonlinear simultaneous equations in future studies). The results showed innovation activities have not been able to have a significant effect on reducing pollution emissions for the Iranian economy. Also, we found out the consumption of renewable energy has not had a significant effect on reducing pollution emissions. Also, the existence of the Kuznets environmental hypothesis was confirmed and Iran is in the upward part of this curve.

This study examines the interrelationships of clean energy, domestic and foreign capital, economic growth, and environmental quality in a group of developing countries during 1995-2018. In this regard, the GMM method has been used. To estimate the impact of domestic and foreign capital development, three different indicators such as foreign direct investment, stock markets, and credits allocated to the private sector have been used. The results show that the increase in clean energy by one to two percent, the emission of carbon dioxide by four, and the increase of foreign direct investment by one percent have increased economic growth. On the other hand, economic growth, while increasing clean energy consumption by an average of 11 percent, has also increased carbon dioxide emissions. Despite the positive mutual relationship between clean energy and economic growth, fossil fuels are still used more in the selected countries. Clean energy projects have lower efficiency and higher financing than other energy supply projects. Therefore, in developing countries, due to a lack of enough capital, few investments are made in these projects.

Energy consumption in the world is increasing for economic growth, and as a result of the emission of greenhouse gases, especially carbon dioxide, which has destructive environmental effects, the consumption of fossil fuels has an increasing trend. Present study tries to find the effect of renewable and non-renewable energy consumption on air pollution with respect to the moderating role of economic growth, utilizing the data of time series from 1990 to 2017 in Iran and with the generalized method of moments and in terms of some control variables such as energy efficiency coefficient and urbanization, the hypotheses were tested. Findings indicate that, the effect of renewable energy consumption in reducing carbon dioxide emissions (negative coefficient at a significant level of 10%) and the effect of non-renewable energy consumption in increasing carbon dioxide emissions (positive coefficient at a significant level of 5%). Also, the role of economic growth as a moderating variable on the relationship between renewable energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions is positive and on the relationship between non-renewable energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions is negative and significant. Developing investment and increasing the share of the renewable energy sector in the country along with improving energy efficiency and technology level can be effective in reducing air pollution.

The high average life of onshore facilities, entering the second half of the life of large fields, reducing the recovery factor of oil reservoirs and Iran's backwardness from the development of common fields are the most important challenges of the upstream part of Iran's oil industry.Due to the impossibility of financing and necessary capital from domestic sources, it is necessary to pay more attention to foreign investment and its contractual methods in this field. Therefore, in this study, the financial-economic performance of Iran's service contracts model and Iraq is being studied and compared in terms of attracting foreign investment and financing projects for the development and exploitation of oil fields. in this regard, the financial simulation technique and sensitivity analysis of the contractor's rate of return on the changes in the financial parameters of the contractual models have been used. The results show that the IPC contract model provides better economic results for the contractor compared to buy back while motivating the contractor to achieve safe production, but the Iraqi service contract model due to the shorter payback period, which facilitates financing the project and reduces the risk of capital expenditure, especially at high oil prices is more attractive to the contractor.

More than 113 years have passed since the gradual formation of "oil-gas Iran" since the drilling rig in the number one well of Masjed-e-Soliman reached oil on May 25, 1908. The fact is that during this period, on the one hand, the wealth and income of natural oil and gas resources were not necessarily "fairly" distributed among all Iranians who are the main owners of these resources; on the contrary, in many cases, they have been distributed among the influential groups in the form of unjust government rents, and on the other hand, these resources have not been used as they should be in the service of the country's economic growth. Given these two facts, the two main problems of this research are: 1) Based on which value theory can the wealth and income of oil and gas resources be more fairly distributed among all Iranians? 2) How can such a fairer distribution be used to achieve high and sustainable economic growth? The research method is that by examining the basic features of common support schemes and reviewing the value bases of such schemes in the form of several theories of justice and with the pathology of those schemes, the implementation of a basic income plan (UBI) which is financed mainly through wealth and revenue from oil and gas resources, defended as a fairer and more efficient plan than current support schemes. In the following, the different methods of financing this project and the mechanisms of its impact on economic growth are examined. Finally, it is argued that during a virtuous circle, on the one hand, a "universal basic income institution" in addition to eradicating poverty, can lead to high and sustainable economic growth, and on the other hand, how this economic growth can continuously increase the amount of UBI for the current generation and future generations.

The green economy is a concept introduced in recent decades and has been defined as a framework for improving social welfare and justice by reducing environmental risks. Green growth has become the economic development strategy of many countries worldwide. In the meantime, FinTech can be effective in promoting green growth. Considering the development of FinTech in Iran, this article tries to examine the effect of the development of FinTech innovation on green growth in Iran. For this purpose, quarterly research data analysis was performed from 2013 to 2022 using the ARDL model. The results show that with a one percent expansion of FinTech services development, green growth will improve by 0.44 percent. FinTech innovation can reduce costs and improve the quality of financial services. It can also lead to green economic growth through green credit and green investment. Therefore, measures for systematization, integration, and synergy of Fintech services development to expand green investment and improve the environment can help improve green growth

Corruption and political risk are important factors affecting the economies that can affect various aspects of people's lives. On the other hand, one of the important economic indicators that shows the intensity of energy consumption, and in other words, the amount of energy consumption in each country, is the energy intensity. Energy intensity is a crucial indicator by which we can understand the trend of changing energy efficiency in different years. Given the importance of this issue, the present study examines the effect of corruption and political risk along with other factors on the energy intensity of selected countries in the Mena region, including Iran, Bahrain, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and UAE using by a panel data model for 2003 to 2019. The results show that corruption, political risk, and factors such as good governance, foreign investment, and human development are important. Therefore, improving education and awareness by reducing corruption and political risk can lead to better implementation of energy efficiency programs.

The study of Iran's position in the international trade network of natural gas shows that although Iran is the second country with natural gas resources in the world and has a special position in the transit of natural gas, it is not an important player in the international trade network of natural gas. One of the most important issues for the development of international gas trade is to examine the possibility of exporting Iran's natural gas in the near future. The present study tries to estimate and simulate an econometric model including macroeconomic and energy variables, analyze the outlook of domestic demand and balance of natural gas in different conditions of Iran's macroeconomics, and assess the feasibility of exporting natural gas. The simulation of different scenarios for the period 2022-2032 shows three findings. Firstly, continuing the current policies result in the undesirable trend of the TFP at the macroeconomic level and economic inefficiency in the energy sector. Secondly, macroeconomic policy reforms in order to raise economic growth result in a negative natural gas balance. Thirdly, for the reduction of energy intensity, the energy price reform is not a sufficient policy, and emphasizing the non-price factors towards technical progress in order to rise energy efficiency is important. In addition, making an investment decision for infrastructure development of potential natural gas supply is important as a necessary condition.

Foreign direct investment is one of the main manifestations of (globalization in the field of investment). Today, most economists and governments emphasize the vital importance of foreign investment. From their point of view, this issue is very important, especially in developing countries, for the formation of economic growth and development flows. One of the ways by which you can increase your share in the field of attracting foreign investment and targeting this type of investment is the use of marketing techniques, especially international marketing. Foreign direct investment (FDI), which is a major form of international capital transfer, has increased significantly during the last decade as one of the results of increasing integration of the global economy. On the other hand, by examining and studying domestic and foreign articles, no research has been found that can deal with the influencing factors on attracting foreign direct investment with an emphasis on green marketing in the field of energy. Also, according to the research model, this research is considered innovation.

As one of the strategic production inputs, energy has always drawn the attention of policymakers and economists, and humans' ever-increasing need for this input cannot be disregarded. Therefore, access to energy is one of life's essential requirements to reach higher levels of development. Petrol is one of the important energy carriers, and policymaking regarding this fuel has always been a controversial topic in Iran. In fact, petrol becoming a distinctive commodity in the eyes of Iranians has led to petrol pricing having extensive economic, political, and social aspects. In the present study, the Vector Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) method is applied in order to investigate the impacts of petrol prices on the Human Development Index (HDI). The period under study is 1980-2019. The variables used in the model include the HDI, the Gini coefficient, inflation rate, Total Factor Productivity (TFP) of production, and petrol price. The results indicate that in a long-term perspective, petrol price and the Gini coefficient are the variables with significant negative effects on the HDI, and the inflation rate and TFP of production are the variables with significant positive effects on the corresponding index. As a result, due to the negative impact of gasoline price increase on the human development index, necessary considerations should be taken into account to increase the price of gasoline in Iran's economy, and other policies such as increasing the productivity of production factors should be used to reduce the negative effects of this policy.

In recent years, the share of renewables in the global energy basket has increased significantly. This will have geopolitical consequences, especially for a country like Iran, whose economy is largely dependent on fossil fuel revenues. By examining the transition process of the global and regional economy towards renewable and clean energy, this article tries to outline Iran's position in the energy transition perspective. The main question is: how will Iran position itself in the global energy transition outlook to 2050? Through scenario planning, the authors identified four possible scenarios, including "meeting sustainable development and transition to green gold", "gradual and independent transition to sustainable development and green gold", "development based on black gold" and "development locked with black gold". They cover a wide range of possible futures. By knowing these scenarios and comparing their desirability, policymakers will be able to properly assess the costs and opportunities of the transition to clean energy in different situations.s

There is good reason to expect crude oil prices to follow nonlinear models. However, previous research has considered the linear assumption to investigate the existence of a unit root. Unit root linear tests such as ADF, PP, and KPSS are provided for linear models. These tests are not suitable for nonlinear time series. Because the model deviation from the linear state may be considered as a random permanent deviation. The purpose of this article is to test the nonlinear unit root of crude oil prices, specifically Brent and WTI oil in the period 2019-2020 daily. For several decades now, various classes of nonlinear models have been introduced. These models introduce a wider range of dynamics than linear models in time series. A special type of these models that economists pay attention to are TAR models. In these models, as in linear models, valid statistical analysis requires distinguishing between the deterministic trend and the stochastic trend. In this study, the Bayesian unit root test for the general SETAR (1) model has been used with respect to the necessary and sufficient conditions for the maintenance of SETAR processes based on the article by Petrocyl and Wolford (1984). A nonlinear unit root test was performed using Bayesian validity interval. The results show that Brent crude oil prices in both regimes contain a unit root that is consistent with similar findings for the production or consumption of crude oil..
