EXTENDED ABSTRACT INTRODUCTIONIn 2019, Iran is ranked sixth among world countries and fifth among Asian countries (including Russia) in terms of CO2 emissions. Therefore, studying the CO2 emission elasticity of the production sectors of this country is significant and important for energy and environmental policymakers. What factors influence changes in CO2 emission elasticities? Which are the stimulants and which are the inhibators? The answers to these questions are useful in reducing and controlling CO2 emissions. In the present study, CO2 emission elasticities of production sectors are calculated, and then, with the aim of identifying CO2 emission elasticity stimuli, the changes in CO2 emission elasticities are broken down into different components. The methodology of this research is based on Input-Output analysis and decomposition analysis. The novelty of this paper is to determine and calculate the components of changes in CO2 emission elasticities using SAD. Guo et al. (2018) have presented a method for calculating CO2 emission elasticities based on the Input-Output analysis.METHODOLOGY Aim of this paper is to investigate the factors affecting CO2 emission elasticities, CO2 emission demand elasticity and CO2 emission production elasticity. In the first step, the elasticities are calculated and in the second step, changes of elasticities are decomposed. In this study, we have used input-output tables published in 2001 and 2011 by the Statistics Center of Iran. Due to the differences in the sector classification of the input-output tables of 2001 and 2011, we match some production sectors and finally take into account the 65 unified sectors. In order to calculate the CO2 emission of each production sector, we first obtain the total consumption of each energy for each year from the Iranian energy balance sheet, and then we allocate each energy consumption to production sectors and single household sector, according to input-output tables and the share of production sectors and the share of the household sector.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   FINDINGS Findings show that the "Electricity generation, transmission, and distribution" sector has the most elasticity. The "Ghosh inverse matrix" effect is a strong stimulus to the CO2 emission elasticity of the sectors. This result indicates that the change in the share of output i, which is sold to sector j as an intermediate input, is a strong stimulus to increase the elasticity of CO2 emissions. These changes can be due to increased economic activities and the inefficiency of production structure.   CONCLUSION "Electricity generation, transmission and distribution" sector should be considered by energy and environmental policy makers due to having the highest amount and changes in CO2 emission elasticity than other sectors. Increasing the share of renewable energy in the energy consumption basket of production sectors, increasing energy efficiency (reducing energy intensity) by replacing new and advanced equipment with old and worn equipment and improving production structure can help reduce the CO2 elasticity and CO2 emission in Iran's production sectors. Finally, due to the high of CO2 emission elasticities in the "Electricity generation, transmission and distribution" sector, future research can focus on this area and suggest solutions to increase production efficiency and energy efficiency. Also, future research can focus on the production structure of production sectors and provide solutions to improve the production structure of Iran's production sectors.

Khorasan Razavi Province suffers from the most critical groundwater resources in Iran, i.e. the groundwater decline has reached 1 m; 34 out of 37 water plains are banned in Khorasan Razavi Province. Recently, Mashhad plain has been fighting with the crisis of drought and water scarcity. Illegal harvesting from groundwater resources and the warming trend caused by change in climate have exacerbated the crisis. Comprehensive water resources management, assuming the complicated nature of water-related issues, rapid growth of population, water requirement for a variety of purposes, and limited water resources, requires novel methods to stack up technical, economic, environmental, social, and logical perspectives in an integrated forum. One of the tools for comprehensive water resources management is utilizing hydro-economic models to simulate the present status of drainage basins and evaluate the impacts of different scenarios and policies. The current study used a hydro-economic model to simulate the hydrological status of Mashhad plain and evaluate the impacts of different scenarios. Then, the agent-based model (ABM) was used in order to reach an agreement with stakeholders on executing different conservation scenarios. The hydro-economic model results revealed that reducing the water demand of the agricultural sector and, as a result, surface and groundwater consumption is possible through following adaptation scenarios. Implementing various adaptation scenarios may alter the present cultivation pattern. Moreover, the ABM results showed a significant difference between the volume of available water, due to the execution of strategies, and water demand, bringing about the lack of farmers’ cooperation regarding the implementation of conservation scenarios. However, through applying some incentive policies, a number of representative farmers may agree to pursue adaptation scenarios.

The purpose of this study is to level the optimal analytical topics for evaluating the cost of petrochemical stock in the capital market. In this study, which was synthetic and inductive-deductive in terms of data collection method, 12 accounting and financial management specialists at the university level participated as panel members in the quality department. In fact, in the qualitative part, which used meta-synthesis and Delphi analysis, the aim was to identify the optimal analytical themes for the valuation of cost-effective stocks and then, in a small section with the participation of 16 petrochemical brokers, to classify the identified statements in the form of a total interpretive structural modelling based on impact priority. Therefore, relying on meta-synthesis analysis, 12 studies were first evaluated as the basis for evaluation to determine the optimal analytical themes of cost-based stock valuation based on critical evaluation, based on which 11 themes were selected propositions and entered into Delphi analysis to determine theoretical adequacy. In this stage, 3 propositions were removed during the two stages of Delphi analysis and a total of 8 analytical propositions of stock valuation were economically entered into the quantitative analysis section, ie total interpretive structural analysis. In this section, the results show the most influential analytical themes of cost-effective stock valuation in the petrochemical industry, two statements of normal stock market price analysis based on the current rated price of "K2" and a focus on the net asset value is "K3", which is at the fourth level of this model.
