End of Ahmadinejad populism is coming!

my working paper on "Macroeconomics of populism in Iran" can be read here.

Abstract:

This paper uses the Dornbusch and Edwards (1990) analytical framework to investigate the
macroeconomic populism in Iran under the Ahmadinejad government. My thesis endeavours
to place the government of Ahmadinejad in a populist context and forecasts its fall mainly due
to macroeconomic instabilities. The purpose of this study is to illustrate how closely
Ahmadinejad’s government follows the model of Dornbusch and Edwards (1990).
