Subsidy with distortion of prices prevents optimal allocation of resources and decrease economic growth and on the other hand has an irreparable effects on country economic sectors, Thus by determining the trend of macroeconomic variables (production changes, price changes, etc.), economic policymakers become closer to economic goals. In this study, using 65 parts input–output table (2013 table) that modified and updated according to the (RAS) 65 parts input – output table in 2006), the impact of increasing in price of energy carriers (gasoline, kerosene, gas oil, fuel oil, liquid gas, electricity and natural gas) in first (2010) and second (2014) phases of subsidy reform have been investigated on the growth rate of economic sectors. The results showed that the average growth rate of transportation (-16.13%) and industries and mines (-17.37%) decreased and this is due to high dependence on energy, followed by an average high relative price of 2.25 and 1.53 percent, respectively. The average growth rate of agricultural sectors increased (8.45%) and this is due to low dependence on energy carriers followed by the average of low relative price (0.8028). Also coal production had the lowest growth rate, which can be concluded that energy carriers is replaced by coal.

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.
