A New Dynamic Model for Investigating the Effects of Renewable Energies on the Behavior of Job Creation in Iran

In this paper, it is tried to propose a new dynamic model for investigating the employment effects of the entrepreneurial process in the field of renewable energy (wind and sun) in Iran. For developing a model, the factors effective in the entrepreneurial process in the field of renewable energy (RE) were considered as three sub-models including investment, employment and energy-economics. The proposed dynamic model was applied in order to simulate the effect of some policies on the behavior of employment indicators in the field of RE in Iran. This paper analyzed these policies and presented those had greater effects on employment in two job-function grouping. The results from this study not only provide useful information for the government, the private sector and consumers in Iran but are also likely to be applied equally to other similar regions around the world.
