Financial development plays an important role in economic development and growth. But the question is what effect does financial development have on the quality of the environment? The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of different indicators of financial development on carbon dioxide emissions. Considering different financial development indicators, using principal component analysis (PCA), a composite index of financial development is constructed. The biggest role in the construction of the main component is the index of the percentage of bank deposits to GDP. The estimation of linear and non-linear ARDL model shows that renewable energy significantly leads to reduction of emissions and improvement of environmental quality, and Kuznets environmental curve is confirmed in Iran. Also, financial development has a long-run effect on carbon dioxide emissions. The Non-linear ARDL results indicate that the positive shock of financial development leads to a significant increase in carbon dioxide emissions, but the negative shock of financial development does not have a significant effect on carbon dioxide emissions. Therefore, financial development in Iran has not yet led to the achievement of environmentally friendly technologies, and considering the role and importance of financial development in economic growth and development, it is recommended to produce and consume renewable energy along with financial development in Iran to neutralize the effects of The negative environmental impact of financial development should be increased to achieve sustainable development.

The present study has investigated the correlation of volatility between stock, oil and gas markets in Iran and its impact on the country's economic growth. In this regard, the method of constant conditional correlation analysis (CCC) of the autoregressive model conditional on heterogeneity of multivariate generalized variances (MGARCH) has been used. The data of this study have been collected and used quarterly in the period 2004-2023.The results show that volatility in all markets is dependent on the previous period's shocks in the same market, in other words, the self-effects in all markets are statistically significant.The results indicate that oil market shocks significantly increase stock market volatility. Conversely, stock market shock is contagious to oil market volatility. Also, stock market and oil market volatility are contagious to the gas market. The results showed that stock market shocks reduce economic growth volatility and oil market shocks increase economic growth volatility in Iran. Despite the existence of spillovers between markets, there are no spillover effects of volatility between these markets, such that volatility in one market does not affect volatility in other markets

Economic uncertainty is a major challenge in economic policymaking and economic growth in Iran. In uncertain conditions, investors may be inclined to transfer their capital to other countries, which can lead to a decrease in the money supply and, as a result, a decrease in economic growth. The aim of the present study was to study the effect of uncertainty on economic growth and monetary policies in Iran. In order to study the effect of uncertainty on the efficiency of monetary policy and economic growth, the interaction vector autoregression (IVAR) methodology used by Astwain et al. (2017: 62) was used. The results of the study showed that economic uncertainty significantly affects monetary policies and economic growth in Iran. To reduce the negative effects of economic uncertainty, there is a need for coherent policy planning and the creation of public trust. In particular, the government and economic policymakers should seek solutions that will gain investor confidence and provide the necessary conditions for sustainable economic growth. This paper can also be used as a theoretical basis for future research on the impact of economic uncertainty on monetary policies and economic growth in similar countries.

Today, transportation services are referred to as an industry in the world, which indicates the extent and importance of these services as a link between industries and a factor in the relationship between consumer and production markets. In this study, the Solow extended production function approach was used to examine the development of transportation infrastructure on the country's GDP, and the DeMello model was considered to estimate the effects of infrastructure development. For this purpose, the spatial panel method was used using provincial data from 1390 to 1401. The results of the study indicate that increasing investment in the transportation sector of each province led to the growth of the GDP of that province and an increase in freight and passenger traffic in a province led to a decrease in the per capita production of that province. Changes in the capital stock of the transportation sector of a province have a negative effect on the per capita production of other neighboring provinces. Also, the number of passengers transported in a particular province increases the per capita production in other neighboring provinces.

Energy poverty, a key dimension of multidimensional poverty, significantly affects household physical and mental health. Understanding this relationship is vital for shaping effective energy and social policies. This study examines the impact of energy poverty on household health in Iran using survey data and an Ordinal Probit regression model. Core explanatory variables include the ratio of energy expenses to total spending and income-based definitions. Findings reveal that greater energy poverty reflected in higher energy burdens and lower incomes is strongly linked to poorer health outcomes. These associations remain robust after controlling for demographic and socioeconomic factors, such as the age of the household head, number of children under 18, and multidimensional poverty status. The study also identifies significant provincial disparities in health, indicating spatial inequalities that require targeted policy responses. Housing conditions, including homeownership and floor space, are associated with health status, highlighting the multifaceted nature of household vulnerability. In conclusion, energy poverty is not just an economic issue but a serious public health risk. Policy solutions must go beyond income support to include regional and multidimensional measures, such as targeted subsidies, improved energy efficiency, and infrastructure development. These findings emphasize integrating energy justice and health equity into national strategies, especially for vulnerable and energy-insecure households.

Achieving economic growth and development is one of the most important concerns of any economic system. A developed financial system is considered one of the most important requirements for achieving sustainable economic growth and development; therefore, considering limited resources, financing investments, allocating and directing resources towards productive sectors and activities, and on the other hand, the necessity of increasing productivity and optimal use of production factors in order to achieve maximum economic growth efficiency and increase competitiveness in order to improve economic performance, is very important. Accordingly, the purpose of this study is to examine the effect of credit and productivity on the growth of value added of Iran's economic sectors by using seasonal time series data and using the generalized factor vector autovariance (FAVAR) approach in the time period q41402-q11391. According to the results of the study, the response of value added growth of economic sectors to credit and productivity shocks is not uniformly distributed in terms of timing and magnitude; In a way, the industrial sector has been more sensitive to credit and machinery capital formation, the agricultural sector to productivity, and the services sector to the exchange rate in a sectoral comparison.

Since the beginning of economics, the causes of business cycles have been one of the most important subjects. Recognizing the mentioned causes, allows economic policy makers to adopt appropriate policies in order to reduce the negative consequences of business cycles. According to the economic literature, stock market changes, is one of the causes of business cycles and, affects the business cycles through four channels: wealth effect on consumption channel, investment channel, balance sheet effect channel and confidence effect channel. Considering the importance of the topic, in this article, was investigated the effect of stock market variables on business cycles, including the stock index growth and its fluctuations, using the nonlinear smooth transition autoregressive model and the Iran’s annual data during the period 1995-2023. The results showed that by choosing the stock price index growth as the transition variable, there are two regimes: the stock market recession periods and the stock market boom period. In the first regime, the growth of the stock index and the increase in its volatility increase the economic growth. While during the expansion period, the growth of the stock index increases the economic growth and the increase of the market fluctuations causes the decrease of the economic growth. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the effect of stock market variables on business cycles when adopting economic policies.

The impact of FinTech panel on smart financial development is a relatively new research area. Despite a rich body of literature on the drivers of financial development and the role of FinTech in achieving financial inclusion, significant questions remain unanswered. In this study, by introducing and constructing a smart financial development index, we investigate the impact of financial technologies on the performance of smart financial development for Iranian provinces during the period 2011-2021, using the dynamic spatial panel method. Based on spatial econometrics tests, the Spatial Autoregressive (SAR) approach was used to estimate the relationships between the model's variables. The estimation results show that with an increase in financial technology variables, trade openness, and institutional quality index, smart financial development increases. Furthermore, during the studied period, an increase in price levels had an inverse effect on smart financial development. The estimated value of the spatial lag variable is positive and significant at the one percent level, indicating that an increase in smart financial development in a particular province leads to an increase in smart financial development in neighboring provinces

In today's world, welfare is considered as a result of the development process, but this economic growth, along with the increase in pollutants, has made environmental crises a major challenge for governments. Therefore, creating a balance between economic development and environmental quality has become one of the main priorities of policymakers. This research, using the dynamic stochastic environmental general equilibrium model and employing money growth as a monetary policy variable ,government expenditure as a fiscal policy variable and carbon tax as a policy variable in the environmental field aims to examine and analyze the welfare effects of macroeconomic and environmental policies and presents a new rule for fiscal , monetary, and environmental policies analyzes the interactions between fiscal, monetary, and environmental policies in the Iranian economy. The research findings show that in conditions of economic prosperity and the presence of positive aggregate productivity shocks, fiscal policy is the only policy that can reduce emission levels and simultaneously improve household welfare.The results of this study can be useful for environmental policymakers and monetary and fiscal decision-makers in Iran.
