        Since the limit of economics freedom determines the scope of the market and specifies the sphere of government intervention in the economy, for this reason , in this essay it has been attempted to test the hypothesis of the inverse relationship between the degree of economic freedom and budget deficit in the non-free countries .For this purpose , among the institutions which perform the ranking of the index of economic freedom in the different countries ,Heritage Foundation has been chosen due to its covering of both the cross-section and more time series data ,precision for the numerous and quality of sub-branches and credit estimation approach and being a productive organization of information. Based upon the statistics of  the ratio of budget deficit over gross domestic product (GDP) for free countries ,including ten countries which have had the lowest degree of economic freedom, in the period(1996-2006),using the World Bank statistical sources, calculation has been made by the panel or extensive data and econometric tests. The results coming from the coefficients of the model indicate a significant and inverse relationship between the degree of economic freedom and budget deficit for the non-free countries including Iran,Belarus,Bosnia-Herzegovina,Congo,Ethiopia,Mongolia,Ukraine,Tunisia,Kazakhstan and Bulgaria.

        Green taxation in the new concept tax is considered as an effective and applicative base which prevents pollution. This kind of tax that is based on cost decreases in the rate of pollution and increases efficiency in the economy. In these circumstances , the government is going to obtain a new source of tax revenue that , considering a neutral situation in the received tax revenues , can decrease taxes the corporate tax and wage and salary tax . The imposition of the latter two taxes misallocate resources. However, this type of taxation has been able to improve successfully the quality of the living environment ; but that whether it can be substituted for other taxes is a hypothesizes for inquiry which should be examined as a double benefit one . In this study the above hypothesis has been tested by time series – cross section data for some of OECD countries which use green tax explicitly , using the two models mentioned . The results indicate that in the first model the diffusion of greenhouse gas affects the green tax in the second model in which the green tax is considered to be autonomous , it can be effective unemployment.

        The role and the knowledge of measures of Potential Output in policy analysis are of significant importance in Macroeconomics. The aim of this paper is to use the production function approach in order to measure Potential Output through state-space Model, Kalman filter method. To achieve this goal, we have estimated the value added output of mining, construction, oil and gas, agriculture, water and electricity, and service industries during 1339 – 1389in Iran.

        In this paper, data from a survey of 1300 households from four cities of Mazandaran province were used to study people's willingness to pay for improvements in drinking water quality. This aggregate willingness to pay can serve as an estimate of benefits to consumers from improvements in drinking water quality in the region. In this study, we asked the residents to express their preferences for quality of drinking water. The contingent valuation method was used to estimate willingness to pay using both open-ended and close-ended formats. We have also estimated the most important determinate factors of people's willingness to pay for improvements in quality of drinking water. Results of our research showed that: 1)       The willingness to pay is between 33,120 and 37,710 Rials a month per family and between 1,370 and 1,550 Rials per cubic meter of drinking water. 2)       The most important determinant factors of people's willingness to pay are: The size of the family, income, marital status, and the level of education   Manuscript profile

        In this paper, an attempt is made to test the hypothesis of existing a price bubble in the Iranian housing market during the years under the study, i.e. 2007-2008. Thus, the long run relationship between housing price and certain fundamental variables of the housing market has been investigated by utilizing the co-integration method of panel data using the data of different provinces. In this test , besides the housing price and rent, we have specified our model by including the population and household income as the main variables moving the demand for housing which and cost of production of housing and supply of new housing units as variables transferring the housing supply have been considered in order to reflect till to capture the shifting effects of demand and supply curves of housing which have been undergone the co-integration test. However , the results indicate that using the information related to the panel data of different provinces in the country, the long-run relationship between housing prices and fundamental variables in years under the review is valid and the hypothesis of existing the housing price bubble in these years is refuted. Hence, the rise or fall in the housing price in the years under the study can be deemed as severe fluctuations of prices in the housing market and not as bubbles Manuscript profile
