چکیده:
This paper examines the idea that the rate of inflation tends to increase nominal government expenditures faster than government revenues. it concludes that while government expenditures rise concurrently with inflation, real government revenues tend to fall based on collection tags. Empirical results using time series data for Iran support our expectations in which the longer is the delay in government domestic revenues, the higher will he the inflation, in addition, the fiscal deficit should increase money supply, resulting in more inflation. The implication of the study conducted here is that a passive fiscal policy based upon inflation is dangerous. To control inflation, budgetary authorities should reduce substantially the government budget deficit. Furthermore, the tax administration is apparently responsible to give priority to reforming the tax revenue system.

AN APPLICATION OF THE LOG IT MODEL TO THE ANALYSJS OF INFORMAL SECTOR ACTIVITIES: THE CASE OF STREET SELLERS IN SfllRAZ, IRAN By: Mohammad Ali Ghetmiri, Ph. D.
ABSTRACT This paper reports on the results of a research carried out during 1993-94 aiming at studying street sellers as an informal sector activity and a source of socio-economic problems in Shiraz, Iran.
The results of the study show that: 1) unavailability of proper jobs in the formal sector, 2) lack of proper skills required to he employed in the formal sector, 3) inadequate income earned in the formal sector; and finally, 4) the indecisiveness of the local authorities towards the street sellers have led to the sustenance of hawking in Shiraz .
none of these studies provides a formal model to help the reader capture the contribution of factors affecting the development of informal sector activities.
The present study attempts to fulfill the gap by applying the Logit model in a study of' street sellers as an informal sector activity in Shiraz, Iran.
Not only do street sellers now engage in trading a wide variety of commodities, but have they occupied a certain space on the street pavements in a disproportionate scale and their activities have resulted in certain problems for the formal business sector, shoppers, and the local officials in Shiraz.
Nonetheless, the results show that the street sellers prefer employment in the formal sector despite rising expected income in the informal sector.
The second model looks at those factors that lead a person to consider hawking as a permanent job despite their preference for employment in the formal sector.
