The relationship between energy consumption and income inresidential and commercialsectors of Iran using STR
, Article World Applied Sciences Journal ; Volume 22, Issue 6 , Oct , 2013 , Pages 824-830 ; 18184952 (ISSN) ; Abbaspour, M ; Amiri, H ; Beshkhoor, M ; Talaie Shokri, S ; Sharif University of Technology

Abstract
Residential and commercial sectors, share a significant portion of energy consumption in Iran; 37 percent of the total per capita consumption. Therefore, identification of the relation between revenue and energy consumption could be a great assistance to policy makers for clarification of policies employed in energy sector. This paper attempts to explore and analyze the relationship between revenue and energy consumption in residential and commercial sectors for the years 1969 to 2009 in Iran by Smooth Transition Regression Models. Smooth transition regression model is a nonlinear time series model which can be considered as a developed form of Switching Regression Model. The obtained...
National laser research progress in context of international developments
, Article Journal of Applied Sciences ; Volume 8, Issue 17 , 2008 , Pages 2958-2966 ; 18125654 (ISSN) ; Sharif University of Technology

Abstract
This study presents an up to date progress of the national and international laser research and developments. The number of scientific publications and accepted patents are considered as a figure of merit and based on these numbers the growth pace for the period of 1990-2003 is investigated. The share of top nations in scientific publications and in particular laser publications in term of their Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is presented. Four countries including the USA, Japan, Germany and China have a laser publication contribution of 58.9% while the rest of the world including (189) countries contribute 41.1%. However, for the case of accepted patents, which are the more important factor,...
A System Dynamics Approach to Understanding the Dynamics of the Increase of Health Expenditures Share of GDP in Germany
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Mashayekhi, Alinaghi (Supervisor)
Abstract
The main question of this research is this: what mechanisms drive the increase of the share of health costs in GDP in Germany? Answering this question not only improves our understanding about health systems in general, but also is specifically useful for the health system of Iran, since it is experiencing similar trends as the health system of Germany does. Since these mechanisms are complex and the ability of human brain to process several interacting variables simultaneously is low, we need a strong methodology and a tool to overcome this limitation. System thinking as a methodology and system dynamics as its tool help us do so. Using system dynamics, we will develop a computer model...
Studying Short-Run and Long-Run Relationship between Real Exchange Rate and Real GDP in Iran
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Nili, Masoud (Supervisor)
Abstract
Exchange rate is one of the macroeconomic variables that can affect domestic product, economic growth and unemployment. Since macroeconomics wants to explain inflation, unemployment and economic growth, exchange rate is one of the most important macroeconomic variables. In economic literature, many studies have been performed to investigate the linkage between Real Exchange Rate (RER) and other real economic variables (such as domestic product, unemployment, etc.). In this study, we first construct the RER for the economy of Iran and then, using Vector Error Correction Model (VECM), short-run and long-run relations between RER and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is evaluated.

Developing a Model to Assess the Optimal Utilization of Energy Resources in the Context of Sustainable Energy Development
, Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology ; Saboohi, Yadollah (Supervisor)
Abstract
Sustainable development of the energy system requires policies for ensuring reliable access to energy services with the lowest economic and environmental costs. Despite owning abundant reserves of fossil resources, Iran has witnessed an imbalance in the supply and demand of energy carriers, especially gas, gasoline, and electricity, over the past years. Within a comprehensive and detailed research, the optimal pattern of utilizing non-renewable energy resources along with renewables is evaluated in the context of sustainable energy development. The developed tool based on the integrated assessment approach can be used as a scientific analytic measure for the implementation of the desired...
