برآورد شاخص‌های حمایتی صنایع کاغذسازی کشور با تأکید بر اجرای سیاست یکسان‌سازی نرخ ارز

One of the ways to be informed on the extent of activities in various industries is to measure the rate of nominal protection. This paper tries to calculate the nominal and effective protection in order to examine the exchange rate unification impacts on the protection of pulp and paper industries with the aim of performing the exchange rate unification policy. Therefore, nominal protection rate of some selected products of Irans pulp and paper factories was measured and the impact of changes in exchange rates was evaluated in subsidized, free and shadow exchange rate modes. Then, the impact of changes in exchange rates (from subsidized exchange rate to free exchange rate) on the amount of effective protection in Irans pulp and paper industries was analyzed through calculation of effective protection rate. In the calculations, free exchange rate was assumed as the exchange rate in the unification situation.
