This research has examined the factors of non-realizing sustainable economic growth in terms of social capital in Iran's economy. For this purpose, at first, the provinces of the country were categorized into three regions, based on six individual trust-sensitive key economic variables (including Entrepreneurship, Level of Education , Employment, Per capita Real Production, Labour Productivity, and Female Labour Market Participation) ,by using the clustering and discriminant analysis methods. Then, the effect of five social capital variables (including Social, Economic, Immoral, Acute Social, and Family disorders) which reflect the lack of trust and consequently reduction of social capital, was estimated on each of the sixeconomic variables, by using the panel data method in the years 2005-2017.The findings showedthat the decrease in social capital, with high explanatory power, had a significant effect on economic performance andeach of the six economic variables had been at least influenced by one of the mentioned disorders decreasingly. The two ofvariables, labour productivity and entrepreneurship, which are important factors in the sustainability of economic growth, have suffered the most negative impact. Also, the findings showed the synergistic effect of the reduction of social capital on economic performance in the next period. Therefore, the decrease in social capital with the effect on the key economic variables which are the most important qualitative and quantitative activities in economy, has caused the reduction of social efficiency in relations of the abundant production factors of Iran’s economy and as a result, non-realizing sustainable economic growth during the time.

In this paper, for analysis of exchange rate pass-through (ERPT) to import prices, a structural dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model is used and exchange rate is considered as an endogenous variable not exogenous. Therefor we can calculate exchange rate pass-through conditional on each shock. The advantage of this approach is that it shows to policy makers that ERPT conditional on each shock is different and policy maker should take the cause of the change, into account. Hence a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model for Iran is presented and calibrated. Then by impulse response functions, ERPT conditional on different shocks (technology, oil revenues, foreign output, money demand, foreign interest rates and monetary policy shocks) has derived. Also, a test for the effects of the changes in variance of each shock on the degree of conditional ERPT has been performed. The standard deviations of the shocks affect the scale of the impulse-response functions, but not their shape. This means that the relative magnitude ofthese responses and conditional measures of pass-through will not be altered by changes in the variance of theshocks.
