Country Economy Studies
Reusable macro dashboards for comparing countries across inflation, GDP, debt, trade, welfare, and leadership periods.
Iran economy & political participation
Long-run macro indicators, resource rents, FX, welfare, and presidential-election participation.
Iran macro indicators from 1960 onward (default outer window), with an adjustable shaded focus band (presets include late Pahlavi and Islamic Republic presidencies, or custom years). Annual WDI series and annual-mean open-market FX; exploratory comparison only, not causal inference.
US economy
Inflation, debt, productivity, postwar growth
United States macro profile across postwar policy eras, with inflation, debt, growth, and productivity context.
Turkey economy
Inflation, lira crises, external vulnerability
Turkey macro profile through inflation cycles, currency stress episodes, and external-financing pressure.
Russia economy
Energy dependence, transition, sanctions
Russia macro profile across transition and sanctions eras, emphasizing energy exposure, growth, and external balance shifts.
Saudi Arabia economy
Oil rents, diversification, Vision 2030
Saudi macro profile centered on hydrocarbon rents, fiscal adjustment, and diversification signals during the Vision 2030 era.
Tajikistan economy
Remittances, post-Soviet transition, travel context
Tajikistan macro and regional context study focused on post-Soviet adjustment, remittance dependence, welfare, and city-level travel framing.
China economy
Reform-era growth, manufacturing, investment model
China macro profile spanning reform-era acceleration, manufacturing scale-up, investment-heavy growth, and recent property/debt stress.
South Korea economy
Export-led growth, industrialization, financial crises, tech era
South Korea macro profile across rapid industrialization, export-led growth, the 1997 IMF crisis, post-IMF restructuring, and the globalized technology economy with demographic-aging pressure.
Iran Economy
National accounts, oil, exports, FX, and labor in the Iran view.
Oil economy overview — Iran
Production, benchmark price, and estimated revenue
Annual Iran production, benchmark price, and a simple prod×price line—how volume and market price line up, not state fiscal receipts.
Money Supply Growth (M2) — Iran
Broad money growth and CPI inflation (WDI/IFS through 2016; 2017+ = CBI-style liquidity YoY, annual %)
Annual broad money (M2): World Bank WDI FM.LBL.BMNY.ZG through 2016 (IMF IFS in WDI’s chain), then year-on-year % derived in SignalMap from CBI-style broad-liquidity (نقدینگی) year-end levels (continuity estimate). Optional Iran CPI inflation (WDI) on the same calendar year for comparison—liquidity, prices, and macro stress in long perspective.
Iran Currency Regime — Official vs Open Market
Open-market USD→toman is the lived-economy signal (Bonbast / rial archive; FRED annual pre-archive). Toggle in the official policy rate and the yearly spread—how far open and official diverge—as a distortion indicator.
Real Minimum Wage in Iran
Inflation-adjusted minimum wage (CPI)
Nominal vs. CPI-deflated minimum wage: purchasing power of the wage, not a full labor market model.
Iran economy during reconstruction (1368–1376 SH)
Persian years 1368–1376 (≈1989–1997 CE): inflation, growth, oil rents, FX, liquidity, trade, and industry shares
Dashboard-style annual and FX context for Iran’s post-war reconstruction period (Rafsanjani presidencies): WDI macro panels plus official vs open-market exchange rates. Exploratory economic history, not a causal model.
Global Context & Core Signals
Core macro signals plus GDP scale, long-run oil, events, production, and trade.
Global GDP comparison
Major economies and their changing share of world output
Compare major economies using World Bank GDP series, then view their nominal share of the World Bank world GDP aggregate.
Brent oil price as an exogenous context signal
Brent crude in USD: event-anchored windows, optional context markers.
Global conflict and economic shocks (1900–present)
1900+ gold and oil with a long event layer: big-picture global context.
Annual inflation rate
Inflation (CPI, % YoY) — Iran, United States, Germany, Turkey, China, and Saudi Arabia
CPI inflation % YoY (WDI): same six economies; baskets and shocks still differ by country.
Structural & Policy
Resource–tradable and import-substitution–style structure (WDI).
Dutch disease diagnostics — Iran (pattern view)
Oil rents, manufacturing share, imports, and open-market FX (exploratory)
Oil rents, manufacturing and import shares (WDI) plus open FX: pattern view for a resource–tradables story, not a single index.
ISI diagnostics — trade and industry structure
Brazil, Argentina, India, Turkey, and Iran (World Bank WDI)
Trade and industry as % of GDP, plus real GDP growth: BR, AR, IN, TR, IR. Indexed overview + raw panels—broad ISI-relevant patterns.
Inequality & Welfare
Inequality, poverty, and prices—welfare and purchasing power.
Income inequality: Gini coefficient
World Bank annual estimates (Iran, United States, and comparators)
Gini (SI.POV.GINI) over time: Iran, US, DE, TR, CN, SA—descriptive; survey methods still differ by country.
Poverty headcount ratio
Iran — share of population below international poverty lines (World Bank WDI)
Two WDI headcount lines for Iran (day / LMIC thresholds). Dollar lines follow World Bank definitions and revisions.
Misc / Reference
Additional timelines, oil-market references, and exploratory views.
Iran dynasties timeline
A vertical view of major Iranian polities: present at the top, time running downward. Band height is proportional to each dynasty’s share of the current domain; BCE years are represented on a single numeric (negative) year scale for layout.
Historical events timeline (1900–present)
A scrollable 1900+ event list: reference context for other studies (not a price series).
Global & Iran context (band timeline)
Swimlane / world-history view: long spans as soft bands, anchor dates as markers. Zoom, pan, and layer by theme—reference context, not a causal model.
Comparative history timeline
Swimlane band view: Iran, France, the UK, the U.S., and major global cultural/political eras (schematic). Compare periodisation at a glance—reference only, not exhaustive history.
Oil trade network
Who ships crude to whom: Comtrade network (kb/d) by year, Sankey or node–link view.
Oil market reaction to geopolitical tensions
Last ~90 days of Brent: short-horizon moves with optional shock and policy markers.
Major oil exporters: production levels
US, Saudi Arabia, Russia, Iran: annual crude (mb/d). Iran backfilled 1965+ from EI/EIA when the live line has gaps.
Major crude oil exporters: trade flows
Annual crude exports (kb/d) for four majors from HS 2709 Comtrade, mirror-flow derived.
Oil price burden in Iran (PPP-based)
Oil in Iran as PPP toman per barrel: domestic purchasing-power burden, not the FX screen rate.
Iran and Turkey: comparative PPP oil burden
Same PPP oil-burden methodology for Iran and Turkey: side-by-side comparison.
Iran oil export capacity: price and volume
Brent vs. an estimated export-capacity index: price and tradable volume in one view (proxy, not revenue).
Real oil prices and global economic burden
Nominal Brent deflated with US CPI: real oil price and burden, not the spot headline.
