Abstract:
The main objective of this research is to provide an estimation of the amount of rent in Iran as an oil economy. First by reviewing recent studies, the concept of rent was extracted and the rent measuring indexes were assessed. Having considered the four categories of rent in Iran, budgetary rent, interest rent, import rent and energy rent, the amount of rent in Iran’s economy during (1369:1-1386:4) was estimated. Results show a considerable increase of rent during (1369:1-1372:4) & (1384:1-1386:4). In the next section of this study the long run and short run relationship between rent and some of the macro economic variables was estimated.In this section the co-movement of rent trend with inflation, national income, crude oil export and economic growth can be observed in long run relationship. But in short run results show that the economic growth and rent seem to be heading in opposite directions. Oil export and rent moving together can be a good explanation for oil boom which leads to an increase in rent
