On the one hand, crony capitalism provides the basis for the use of clean technologies and, as a result, the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions by allocating funds to government-supported industries, and on the other hand, it leads to an increase in carbon dioxide emissions by weakening competitiveness and disrupting the optimal allocation of resources. This article aims to analyze the effect of crony capitalism on carbon dioxide emissions in a selection of OPEC countries during the period 1996-2023 using the PQARDL method. The results show that in the short term, crony capitalism has led to a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions in the low and middle quantiles, while in the long term, it has led to an increase in carbon dioxide emissions in the middle and upper quantiles. On the other hand, fossil fuel consumption, gross domestic product, and industrial value added have had a positive effect on carbon dioxide emissions in the short and long term. Population had no effect in the short run in all quantiles but had a positive effect on carbon dioxide emissions in the long run. The results of the Wald test show that in the long run, crony capitalism, fossil fuel consumption, GDP, and population had an asymmetric effect and industrial value added had a symmetric effect on carbon dioxide emissions, but in the short run, the effect of all independent variables on carbon dioxide emissions was symmetric.

In this paper, the efficiency of the private sector response to the economic-political changes of Iran's public sector in the areas of immigration, capital flight and population growth rate change has been investigated, during the forty-four years after the Islamic Revolution. For this purpose, the private sector in every year has been considered as an independent decisionmaking unit, and its response efficiency has been calculated using the data envelopment analysis. Political stability, economic stability, political development and economic development are used as the inputs and migration, capital flight and population growth rate change are used as the outputs of this decision making unit. This paper, has been used the Mann-Whitney test to prove the meaningfully of the private sector's reaction efficiency changes. The results of this research show that the efficiency of the private sector reaction has been meaningful throughout the investigation period, and this efficiency has been increased in the first and second decades after the revolution, comparing with itself, and it has been almost stable, after reaching the maximum.
