Abstract

Oil was extracted in Iran since 1286, and from the beginning of the 14th century of Hijri, it became one of the pillars of the country's economy in such a way that its traces can be seen in all political, economic and social developments. This research deals with one of the dimensions of the effect of oil on the political economy of Iran, i.e. the government's economic policy between 1384 and 1392, and its main problem is to analyze the extent and manner of the impact of oil market changes on the government's economic policies. The purpose of the research is to determine the effects of the sudden change in the price and fluctuations of the Iranian oil income on the economic policies of the government and the changes made in the most important economic indicators in the mentioned years. The need to carry out this research is because oil income fluctuations continue to affect government policies and the pathology of previous governments' performance can be effective in economic re-planning. The method of qualitative research and thematic analysis is the method of data collection is library studies and checking official statistics. According to the research data, domestic and international developments have caused fluctuations in the amount of production, price and income of oil, and these fluctuations are caused by certain economic policies such as financial expansion, justice-oriented programs, relative neglect of the tax system and It has followed financial discipline.
