investigating the effect of sanctions on casual relationship between corruption, income inequality and poverty in iran

The purpose of the present study is to investigate the effect of sanctions on causal relationship between corruption, income inequality and poverty in iran during 1984 to 2020. for this purpose, a number of embezzlement concluded cases in the courts of general jurisdiction and control of corruption indicator (coc) as the representative of corruption indicator, atkinson index and gini index as the representative of income distribution and the indicators of per capita income and poverty line (calculated based on linear expenditure system (les)) as the representative of poverty status were firstly gathered and calculated. according to the obtained results, income distribution is not an effective variable on poverty and vice versa, but it is a significant variable for the cause of corruption. however, poverty line under sanctions is a good representative of income distribution causality. corruption and poverty cannot properly explain the distribution of income. however, the control of corruption has been the cause of income distribution. also, corruption (poverty) is an effective variable for poverty causality (corruption) and the significance level of this relationship is higher under sanctions.
