Iran's economy has been facing the phenomenon of inflation for many decades, which has been unbridled inflation in many periods. Therefore, in order to control the inflation rate, some policy makers are looking towards applying a contractionary monetary policy by increasing the required reserve rate. But this policy has been criticized due to the fact that it reduces production and economic growth and as a result creates recession in the economy. To what extent the increase in the required reserve rate with the aim of controlling inflation will reduce production and economic growth is a central question that the present research was made to answer. For this purpose, the system of simultaneous equations using the 3SLS method has been used. The data used in the present research is a time series of 1979-2018, which was collected from the database of the Central Bank of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The results showed that the variables of the required reserve rate and the excess reserve rate have a negative effect and the monetary base growth rate has a positive effect on the volume of money in Iran's economy. Also, the results showed that increasing the required reserve rate as a contractionary monetary policy can reduce the growth rate of the money volume and the inflation rate in the Iranian economy without changing the real production.

Oil plays an important role in financing the country and can be used as a positive tool for improving total factor productivity and can reduce technical gap with developed countries. But most of the oil countries with oil revenues, despite the considerable value of these resource revenues, do not have appropriate economic performance. Therefore, this study utilizes a system of simultaneous equations to evaluate the direct and indirect effects of oil on the economy's total factor productivity during the period 1978-2013. The results by 3SLS show, the direct effect of oil revenues on total factor productivity is negative and significant. Also the effect of oil revenues on the equations of human capital accumulation, domestic research and development accumulation and financial development equations are negative and significant and in the research and development spillovers of trade partners and information and communication technology accumulation equations are positive and non-significant. According to the results, the effect of human capital, domestic research and development accumulation, research and development spilloversof trade partners, and information and communication technology equations are positive and significant and the effect of financial development on total factor productivity is positive and non- significant. Therefore, it is expected that politicians and decision-makers with the management of appropriate resources (coordination of supply and demand side policies with a focus on the development of knowledge-based components market) take steps in order to create endogenous technical change and improve total factor productivity.

Capital accumulation is a key factor in economic growth and interest rate is a policy instrument in capital accumulation.In Iran economy, goverment imposes interest rate ceiling in fevored sectors.In this paper , a system of equations including saving and investment function are regressed via (3SLS). We conclude that an increase in interest rate increase investment and then mckinnon-shaw hypothesis is not rejected.
