      abstract = {This study explains the results of trade reforms for a  scenario where reduced tariffs for all imported commodities  under the Uruguay Round (UR) since 1995. The Computable  General Equilibrium (CGE) analysis and input-output data  for Iran using a base year, 1991, were applied simulating  the short and long-run effects under the UR. It was  proposed that 24 per cent and 27 per cent decreases in ad  valorem tariffs on imported agricultural and  non-agricultural commodities, respectively, could occur in  the short run from 1995. The same scenario was simulated in  the long run to examine the impact of trade reforms on Iran  for the past decade. Three crops results of this scenario  were analysed by considering the projections.
The results  confirm a positive impact on the economy of Iran if tariffs  were reduced under the UR. The domestic prices and  production costs would fall and primary factors such as  labour and capital would move to industries which have a  greater comparative advantage. Rice was estimated to grow  by 2.98 per cent but sugar beet and sugar cane decreased by  1.02 per cent in the short run.},
