Considering the highly importance of the agricultural sector in the provincial economy of Ilam and the emergence of awareness of demands for the forms of energy in the mentioned sector, as well as awareness of the price liberalization policies applied on the forms of energy, the present study aims to investigate the demands for the major energy consumptions in the agricultural sectors. The aim of this study is to determine the influencing factors on energy consumption patterns; and to determine the complementary and altering energy relations, using the estimating demand for different forms of energy. This study applies the Almost Ideal Demand System to estimate the elasticity of the forms of energy. The achieved results exhibit the adversity and conformity of all the energy own-price elasticities to the demand theory. Results on the cross elasticity indicate to large extant identical in both restricted and unrestricted cases and to some extant low for the cross elasticity between the forms of energy. Moreover, the results indicate positive and less than one for the income elasticity of energy in the restricted case, that are considered as an essential commodity.

This study investigates the effect of some indicators of financial repression, including DR (the gap between the official interbank exchange rate and the free market rate), Cpi (the difference between Iran's inflation rate and the inflation rate of the world) and G (the ratio of government debt to liquidity), on capital stock growth in agricultural sub-sectors in Iran, during the period 1991-2011 using estimation of the demand function and panel data method. The results of the model indicate a significant negative effect of financial repression indicators on the development of the capital stock growth in all agricultural sub-sectors.
