Abstract:
The emphasis of industrial economics on fundamental markets and inter-sectoral interactions of industries is to explain the behaviour of enterprises. On the other hand, each country's industrial and economic policymaker approaches are substantial and outline the roadmap for the industry's development, investment, and advancement. This study investigates the results and consequences of various types of economic policy objectives towards Iran's industries. The method of this research is based on the theory of general equilibrium of the economy so that in this study, 24 different types of policy (24 different scenarios) to the priority of Iranian decision-makers in 4 issues: "Industrial Environmental Considerations," "Industrial Energy Consumption," "Industrial Employment Capacity" And "the value of industrial products." Using the input-output tables of 2005 and 2015, the changes of all four areas have been assessed to determine which industries are given priority in development and support in each scenario. To achieve this goal, increasing coefficients of input-output modelling have been used, and by creating a composite index, the intensity of priorities has been measured. The results show that the industry "manufacture of other transport equipment" has a higher priority on average. Also, calculating the variance of the section "manufacture of coke, refined petroleum products, and nuclear fuel" shows that this section will be more fragmented with different policy approaches.

The research method is based on the theory of general economic equilibrium, such that in this study, 24 different types of policymaking (24 different scenarios) regarding the priorities of decision-makers in Iran are considered across 4 issues: "environmental considerations of industries," "intensity of industrial energy consumption," "employment generation potential of industries," and "industrial value-added.
(1399), in their article, have assessed the effects of technological change on the intensity of energy demand at the level of Iran's economic sectors based on the approach of identifying important input-output coefficients.
In this research, the input-output table was first updated for the year 1394, then using the information available in the energy balance sheet and the industrial workshops yearbook, the amount of carbon dioxide consumption and emission was calculated, and consequently, the policies for carbon reduction and economic growth in Iran were investigated.
In the fourth type of policymaking, value added has more priority, and energy, emissions, and employment are placed in subsequent priorities respectively; according to this, based on the calculated composite index, the sectors "manufacture of other transport equipment", "manufacture of radio, television and communication equipment", "manufacture of office, accounting and computing machinery", "manufacture of coke, refined petroleum products and nuclear fuel" and "manufacture of clothing, carpets and rugs" will be the top five priorities from the perspective of this type of policymaking.
