The economic variables used in this study are tourist receipts, GDP per capita, real exchange rate, population, Trade openness and Consumer Price Index. GLS method is applied in the research model in order to investigate the relationship between tourist receipts, GDP per capita, real exchange rate, population, Trade openness and Consumer Price Index. In this research, we find that GDP per capita, real exchange rate, population, Trade openness have a Positive impact on tourist receipts. These factors play a crucial role in tourism demand. The adoption of appropriate economic policies, in line with the tourism development policies, such as the appropriate rate of exchange, can help to reduce the travel costs and it enhances the competitive advantage of this industry. The results also showed that the Consumer price index (CPI) variable has a positive impact and almost equal to zero but it is insignificant in explaining tourism demand.}, keywords = {Tourism demands,OIC,GLS method}, url = {https://www.eeer.ir/article_82619.html}, eprint = {https://www.eeer.ir/article_82619_29a46db081551608b116c916bb82a1d6.pdf} } @article { author = {RiyaziNejad, Morteza and Fakhri, Seyed Arvin and Moosavirad, Seyed Morteza}, title = {Economic Appraisal of the Rapid Catalytic Cracking Development Scheme for Municipal Solid Waste}, journal = {Environmental Energy and Economic Research}, volume = {2}, number = {4}, pages = {237-249}, year = {2018}, publisher = {Environmental Energy and Economic Research}, issn = {2538-4988}, eissn = {2676-4997}, doi = {10.22097/eeer.2019.158822.1050}, abstract = {There are a wide range of modern waste disposal systems and the costs of operating them greatly vary. The type of waste disposal system to be used is selected based on the nature of the operation, process and needs of the local community. In Iran, mixed municipal waste with significant contamination and humidity is prevalent. As a result, the most commonly used methods implemented in European and American countries are not applicable in Iran and in many cases, investments on these technologies have failed. Among the methods that have attracted the attention of authorities and urban managers are the mixed waste disposal approaches associated with positive economic returns such as Rapid Catalytic Cracking systems (RCC). In this study, the economic aspects of implementing an engineering investment model on a typical RCC unit is studied in order to evaluate the economic development of the project regarding the local and regional conditions and challenges. The data collected in 2017 were used in this study and results were obtained using COMFAR. The internal rate of return (IRR) of an RCC system with a capacity of 180 tons per urban waste for a lifespan of ten years is 80.23%, which indicates there is a very attractive economic justification for the scheme compared to the interest rate (20%).}, keywords = {Catalytic Cracking,Pyrolysis,Municipal Waste,Economic Evaluation,COMFAR}, url = {https://www.eeer.ir/article_82620.html}, eprint = {https://www.eeer.ir/article_82620_7cc4720371c9d4df68c451572fe3c865.pdf} } @article { author = {Abdollahzade, Arash and Shahbazi, Meisam and Rajabzadeh Ghatari, Ali}, title = {Conceptual Agent based Modeling in Supply Chain: An Economic Perspective}, journal = {Environmental Energy and Economic Research}, volume = {2}, number = {4}, pages = {250-263}, year = {2018}, publisher = {Environmental Energy and Economic Research}, issn = {2538-4988}, eissn = {2676-4997}, doi = {10.22097/eeer.2019.160148.1054}, abstract = {Abstract: The implementation of government legislation, social responsibility, environmental concerns regarding the reduction of waste, hazardous material and other consumer residuals have made the competition between the firms stricter than ever and nowadays firms that want to survive need a more productive and innovative approach toward the financial aspects of their businesses.his paper presents a conceptual supply chain model integrating financial and physical flows. The main idea of this paper is to identify financial tools and show the usefulness of them in order to increase the competitiveness of the supply chain as a whole in the volatile markets. In doing so, we consider the role of a financial service provider and try to incorporate the effects of supply chain finance concept on the working capital i.e. liquidity of the member entities. So, the main contribution of this research is to address an innovative approach to model financial flows in supply chain and to introduce the financial tools (supply chain finance practices) in the supply chain framework employing Economic Value Added and cash-to-cash cycle as performance measures and finally devise a conceptual agent-based model and show how agent based modeling can be beneficial in this field.}, keywords = {Supply chain management,Agent Based Simulation,Supply Chain Finance}, url = {https://www.eeer.ir/article_82621.html}, eprint = {https://www.eeer.ir/article_82621_da319eabeefddbf3a261137e7fce73e8.pdf} } @article { author = {Abdolabadi, Hamid and Sarang, Amin and Ardestani, Mojtaba and Little, John}, title = {Estimating the Available Water in the Watershed using System Dynamics Hydrological Model (Case Study: Ilam Watershed)}, journal = {Environmental Energy and Economic Research}, volume = {2}, number = {4}, pages = {265-280}, year = {2018}, publisher = {Environmental Energy and Economic Research}, issn = {2538-4988}, eissn = {2676-4997}, doi = {10.22097/eeer.2019.99210.1013}, abstract = {Hydrological models provide water managers with the available amount of water in the watershed. In this paper, we firstly developed a system dynamics model to calculate the available amount of water in the watershed. Then, we defined two scenarios one of which is the development scenario describing how land use changes can affect water availability in the watershed. Next, we divided the watershed into upstream and downstream assuming that these two sub-watersheds have different physical features including soil type and land cover to find out how the available water changes. The system dynamics model includes three main components of the hydrologic processes: rainfall-runoff model, snow accumulation, and groundwater. The model calculates runoff at the outlet of a watershed and sub-watersheds with monthly time step. We applied the developed model to the Ilam watershed to demonstrate the capability of the model in estimating runoff volume and available water. We calibrated model coefficients based on minimizing the model’s error in estimating the out flow of the watershed. The error was measured using the Nash-Sutcliff efficiency coefficient, the Pierson correlation coefficient, and the standard error. Specific tests such as the dimensional analysis test, and extreme conditions test were utilized to assess the structural accuracy of the system dynamics model. Results showed the appropriate accordance of the model’s output with the observed data by a value of the Nash-Sutcliff coefficient (Ens) close to 1, the rather high data correlation coefficient (R), and also a low standard error for the model’s calibration and verification periods.}, keywords = {Available water,System Dynamics Hydrological Model,Development Scenario,Ilam Watershed}, url = {https://www.eeer.ir/article_82622.html}, eprint = {https://www.eeer.ir/article_82622_efd5439c8a443e9a51a9a399a086f121.pdf} } @article { author = {Sarvarian, Javad and Samani, Jamal Mohammad Vali and Samani, Hossein Mohammad Vali}, title = {Two-objective Optimization of Location and Geometric Characteristics of Rockfill Dams at the Taleghan Basin by NSGA-II}, journal = {Environmental Energy and Economic Research}, volume = {2}, number = {4}, pages = {281-296}, year = {2018}, publisher = {Environmental Energy and Economic Research}, issn = {2538-4988}, eissn = {2676-4997}, doi = {10.22097/eeer.2019.160450.1056}, abstract = {Among the structural and non-structural methods of flood control, rockfill dams are a kind of detention structures that increase travel time and reduce the maximum instantaneous flood discharge.

Fault tree analysis is one of the most widely used methods for estimating reliability. In recent years, a method called "Bayes Network" has been used, which is a dynamic method, and information about the probable failure of the system components will be updated according to the components data. In other words, the Bayes network is generally distributed with primary values and relations between variables. In this research, the reliability of the automatic Environmental detection and fire extinguisher system by water sprinkler system has been estimated by FTA and BAYES NETWORKS, also their comparison has been investigated. The probabilistic calculation and the graphical drawing required for this research has been completed by MATLAB and MICROSOFT BAYES NETWORK software. Finally, the reliability of an automatic water sprinkler system was calculated 0.93 by FTA. By updating the probability of failure and success, this value was changed to 0.89. The reason for the difference can be interpreted by taking into account the third state of the system, i.e., functioning with lower efficiency. The lowest level of reliability relates to a diesel generator that acts as a standby member in the event of a power failure. At the end, suggestions for improving the reliability of the automatic fire sprinkler system provided.}, keywords = {Bayes networks,Fault Tree Analysis,Reliability,Automatic systems,Fire extinguishing system}, url = {https://www.eeer.ir/article_82625.html}, eprint = {https://www.eeer.ir/article_82625_3c636420559f1a50de68a6ffb3f7908e.pdf} } @article { author = {Padash, Amin}, title = {Implementing an Effective and Excellent Governance Framework toward Sustainability}, journal = {Environmental Energy and Economic Research}, volume = {2}, number = {4}, pages = {343-364}, year = {2018}, publisher = {Environmental Energy and Economic Research}, issn = {2538-4988}, eissn = {2676-4997}, doi = {10.22097/eeer.2022.350488.1257}, abstract = {Environment is an interdisciplinary subject, a subject that requires policy-making, management, government cooperation, empathy and civil society participation with regard to the economy and legal framework.
