The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of price shocks on selected energy carriers in household consumption basket and firm production functions (both supply and demand side of economy) simultaneously on macroeconomic of Iran. The stochastic dynamic general equilibrium model consisting of households, firms, foreign trade and government and central banks has been calibrated and simulated for the Iranian economy. The data related to the estimation of the research model were seasonally available for the period 1996-2006. The final model equations were linearized around the stable state using linearized stochastic equations by the method of Uhlig (1999: 40) as a spatially-state model in the Matlab programming environment. The results of the simulation and analysis of the model's immediate reaction functions show that all price shocks in selected energy carriers, while increasing production costs and creating inflationary conditions, reduce total consumption, total investment and total demand, and after reducing the production of non-oil products and total production, employment decreases. The results of variance analysis also show that most of the changes in employment (compared to production) are due to diesel fuel and electric shocks, respectively, so that 1,08 percent of employment changes (compared to non-oil production), due to diesel fuel shock and 1,01 percent due to electric shock. The severity of the adverse effects created at the employment level during the first 10 periods following the energy price shocks is significant, indicating the need to pay special attention to the unemployment rate when the subsidy targeting law is fully implemented.

In this paper, the effect of government expenditures with the volume of bank credits on economic growth in Iran, considering the role of monetary policy in the form of a dynamic stochastic genral equilibrium model is studied. for this purpose, we first defined a model consisting of households, production sector, government and oil, banks and intermediary financial institutions and the monetary status for the Iranian economy. Then, the model of the study was specified and the equations of each section were explained. After specifying the assumptions, characteristics and relationship of different parts of the model with each other, each section was optimized. After simulating the model, the model was fitted with real and simulated ratios and also using the torque variables and finally, the effects of the impuls response to the shock of government expenditures on the variables of production, consumption, investment, facilities and bank deposits were investigated that in many cases, the results have been consistent with the theoretical expectations and economic realities of the country

The use of natural resource revenues for achievement of development has been a challenging issue for resource abound countries. These a challenging stem from the fact that incomes from natural resources are non-durable, unpredictable and uncertain. Many countries have pursued approaches and tools for managing these revenues to prevent economic fluctuations. The international organizations and economic experts propose a diversification into resource revenues in the form of different approaches for public investment. The present study evaluates the policy of increasing public investment in Iran in the form of three gradual, aggressive and conservative approaches for the period of 1978-2015 using a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium method. The results showed that after an oil revenue shock, the status of economic variables in the gradual increase approach is better than the other two approaches. In a gradual approach, in addition to increasing GDP and private and public consumption, public debt is also declining

This paper investigates the effects of fiscal policy shocks and fiscal multipliers of the Iranian economy in the framework of New-Keynesian Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium model (DSGE) by applying Bayesian approach. The results indicate that consumption tax shock lead to short-run decrease in output. Moreover, government spending shock leads to short-run increase in output and long-run increase in inflation. This result makes sense as government expenditures are financed by an increase in the monetary base.The results of structural fiscal multipliers indicate that short-run government expenditure multiplier with 1.29 percent has a direct relationship and sales and payroll tax multiplier with 0.22 percent has an indirect relationship with output. Therefore financing government spending with sales and payroll tax can be considered as an effective fiscal policy to increase output.
