چکیده:
An increase in price levels during wartime is a natural phenomenon in various economies around the world. Given the adverse consequences of inflation, during these periods, governments often resort to policies of price control and pricing, as well as rationing of goods and services through the printing and distribution of coupons. In this article, using seasonal data and information from the Iranian economy, the suppressed inflation model is tested. The findings of this article show that the implementation of price control policies during the imposed war of Iraq against Iran had significant and substantial effects on the variables of the Iranian economy. Overall, the test of the suppressed inflation general equilibrium model in the Iranian economy was significant, and the results obtained are consistent with theory.

Mohammad Hossein Hasani Sadreabadi, "Investigating the impact of general price level control on the economy of Iran during the imposed war of Iraq against Iran", PhD thesis in Economics, Tarbiat Modares University, 1995, p.
In the suppressed inflation model presented by Barro-Grossman 6 (1974), it is explicitly stated that controlling the general price level, along with the rationing of goods and services, certainly affects the supply of production factors.
where M is money demand, Y is net national product, P is the general price level, N is the volume of employment, G is government expenditure, W is the minimum wage level, T is an index to indicate the year in question, and Z is a dummy variable that shows the impact of policy making and price control.
Also, using the simultaneous equations system, it was concluded that price control and pricing policies during the period of the imposed war had statistically positive and significant effects on real money demand and, consequently, on Gross Domestic Product.
