        Background and Objective: Industrial-economic development in developing countries has created a double need for greater access to energy carriers compared to developed countries. In addition, improving living standards in developing societies in recent decades has led to an increase in the demand for energy carriers for access to greater facilities and amenities. In this study, the effect of applying different policies to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and energy savings in Iranian industries has been investigated and evaluated by the energy planning model. Material and Methodology: First the input values of various energy sources such as gas, electricity and fossil fuels in the industrial production process were investigated. Then, the factors affecting the production of greenhouse gases in industries were identified, then the past trend and the current state of Iranian industries and government policies to reduce carbon dioxide emissions as well as the development of new energy efficiency technologies in industry were used to estimate energy demand. In line with this goal, the amount of greenhouse gas emissions in a baseline scenario in accordance with the continuation of the current trend (BAU) in current industries and also to determine the current and future demand of Iranian industries during the years 2019 to 2035 has been studied. Findings: four alternative scenarios of energy saving technologies and reduction of carbon dioxide emissions were considered, including industry development and capacity building, possible increase in fuel and electricity prices, implementation of fuel consumption standards, and use of CHP technologies for a period of 15 years. Therefore, the combined implementation of these two policies will lead to a reduction of 8 million tons of emissions (equivalent to a 13% reduction in emissions) equivalent to total CO2. Discussion and Conclusion: The results show that the total CO2 emissions equivalent to the industry will increase from 61 million tons in the baseline scenario to 53 million tons in the 2035 emission reduction scenario. However, due to the implementation of the fuel change policy, the total amount of carbon dioxide emissions has been reduced to 58 million tons (equivalent to 4.9% reduction) and also the implementation of energy efficiency policy has led to the emission of 55 million tons (equivalent to 9.8% reduction) equivalent CO2 will run until 2035.

        The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of energy carriers price adjustment on economy with emphasis on welfare index and study the effect of it on urban household investment share. For this purpose, by using the information of the Iranian urban household budget during the period from 1988 to 2017, based on the theories related to the measurement of consumer welfare changes, the formula of compensatory changes in the framework of an almost ideal demand system is derived. Then, after estimating the demand system parameters, the welfare index criterion is calculated separately for each energy carriers. In the next step, the effect of adjusting the price of energy carriers on the share of investment in household budget is estimated by threshold regression model. The results show that by increasing the actual price of each energy carrier relative to the total energy expenditure, the share of its energy carrier expenditure will be increased. Among the self-price coefficients, electricity has the largest coefficient and the lowest coefficient is belong to the petroleum products. Self-price elasticities of electricity, gas, gasoline and petroleum products is -0.33, -0.59, 0.92, and -1.14, respectively. Price adjustments of energy carriers are causing welfare losses for urban households, depending on their price elasticity and the share of energy carriers. By assesing the linear and non-linear relationship between energy carrier price index and household investment share, the results confirm a positive and nonlinear relationship between investment share and energy carrier price index.

        The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the effects of energy carriers price increases on composition of consumption expenditures of urban households using Almost Ideal Demand System(AIDS). For this purpose, initially seven groups of goods and services including: food and beverage portion, shoes and clothing, transport, communication, hotels and restaurants, water, electricity, gas and other fuels, and other groups is estimated by applying seemingly unrelated regression method and data years of 1380-1389 for 10 cost deciles.Then, the average share of the groups for the years 1390 to 1392 by considering two scenarios increased by 20 and 38% of the price of water, electricity, gas and other fuels as a proxy for energy carriers is predicted. Our results indicate that despite the change in the share of each group of goods based on these two scenarios, but this does not shift in consumer preferences or combined groups of urban households in different deciles.

        The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the composition of consuming expenditures of urban households in Iran under various scenarios of the price of energy carriers. For this purpose, initially, goods and services consumed by urban households are divided into 7 groups and the share of total household expenditures is estimated by applying an almost ideal demand system (AIDS) and the data of the years 2001-2010 for 10 cost deciles. Then, the average of the share of each of these groups is simulated for the years 2011 -2013 under two scenarios of 20 and 85 percentage of the price. The results indicate that using either of these two scenarios does not change the consumption composition of urban households and consumers preferences before relating the price to the needs and priorities. So, if the government plans to impose steep price scenarios, it should follow supporting supplements policies to compensate the decline of consumer welfare. Manuscript profile

        The main objective of this paper is to examine the effects of raising the prices of energies like gasoline, gas oil, LPG, kerosene and fuel oil on the cost structure of enterprises in Iran. To get the goal, the criterion of Compensation Variations (CV) has been used in a partial equilibrium approach. To calculate Compensation Variations (CV), the change fee imposed on energy prices is used during 2010- 2013. The elimination of subsidies leads to 30 percent increase in the cost of manufacturing industries of the country in 2010. For the years 2011, 2012 and 2013, the cost increases to 28, 30 and 32 percent respectively. The loss ratio imposed by increased prices on various industries has started in 2010 and continued to accelerate until 2013. Therefore, to secure the desirability level prior to the implementation of the policy in 2010, 6063831 million Rials must be paid to the enterprises active in this section. For 2011, 2012 and 2013 the sum is 7678227, 10365607 and 15030129 million Rials respectively. Manuscript profile

        حامل­ های انرژی یکی از مهم­ترین نهاده­ ها در بخش کشاورزی است. این نهاده ­ها پایه و اساس توسعه کشاورزی و انتقال بخش کشاورزی از مرحله سنتی به مرحله صنعتی بوده است. سرانه مصرف انرژی در بخش کشاورزی ایران 2/3 برابر بیشتر از میانگین جهانی است بنابراین صرفه­جویی و بهینه­سازی استفاده از آن ضروری است. آزادسازی قیمت مهم­ترین ابزار قیمت­ گذاری است. لذا در این پژوهش اثرات آزادسازی قیمت انرژی بر بهره­وری مصرف آن در بخش کشاورزی با استفاده از روش هم ­انباشتگی پنهان مورد بررسی قرار گرفته است. نتایج نشان می ­دهد که بهره ­وری نهاده برق و فرآوده ­های نفتی در واکنش به تغییرات قیمت انرژی، رفتار نامتقارن را نشان می­دهد که میزان بهره ­وری انرژی برق را از 1145.04 واحد به 1254.32 واحد افزایش می­یابد. هم­چنین، هنگامی که قیمت فرآورده ­های نفتی افزایش می­یابد، بهره ­وری آن 22.18 واحد را نشان می­دهد. علاوه بر این، بهره ­وری فرآورده­های نفتی با افزایش قیمت­ها بهبود می­یابد. بنابراین، اصلاح قیمت در بخش حامل انرژی اجتناب­ناپذیر است. با توجه به اثر نامتقارن قیمت برق بر بهره­­وری آن، نوع اصلاح قیمت برق باید همراه با سیاست­های غیرقیمت در نظر گرفته شود. ابزار قیمت­ گذاری فقط باعث ایجاد انگیزه برای رشد بهره­ وری از طریق جایگزینی عوامل تولید می­شود. با توجه به این شرایط، انتظار نمی­رود الگوی مصرف انرژی اصلاح شود.

        Improved prices of energy carriers in the country’s economy especially the industrial sector have a high sensitivity. Steel industry, including energy-intensive industries, capital-intensive and requires high technology that high share of energy production (about %8), causing the increasing prices of energy carriers, affect production cost and product sales. Therefore, due to the late and former communications industry with other industries, price changes on other economic sectors and industrial steel works will also be important. The results show that the prices of energy carriers with direct effects on the cost of steel industry. It is being provided if none price package as reform process, improving production technologies and improving energy use patterns is not applied simultaneously with price reform policy, Accumulation due to cumulative effects of increased prices of energy carriers, there is the possibility of bankruptcy and closure of industrial units.   Manuscript profile
