Purpose: This study aims to compare the impact of renewable and non-renewable energy consumption on the economic welfare of Iranian provinces from 2000 to 2019.Methodology: The Panel Data model was used in this research. The statistical population includes research on the provinces of Iran. Time series information about these provinces has been collected from data available in the Energy Balance, Statistics Center, and Iran Economic and Financial Database, which was tested using Eviews software. Variables used in this study include consumption of renewable energy and non-renewable energy sources (solar, hydropower, wind, geothermal, oil, gas, and gasoline), economic welfare, population, labour, unemployment rate, inflation rate, income distribution inequality (Gini coefficient) and real GDP.Findings: The results showed that the consumption of renewable energy has a positive and significant impact, and the consumption of non-renewable energy has a negative and significant impact on welfare. Also, the variables of the unemployment rate, inflation rate, and income distribution inequality (Gini coefficient) have a negative and significant effect, and the variables of population growth rate, GDP, and labour productivity have a positive and significant impact on economic welfare.Originality/Value: The study showed that using renewable energy in the provinces of Iran has a more significant effect than non-renewable energy in increasing economic welfare. Investing in this production unit can improve the share of renewable energy use in Iran

Purpose: This study uses the Panel Data model to compare the effect of public and private health expenditures on the health status of D-8 member countries from 2020 to 1995.Methodology: The statistical population studied in this research includes research from D-8 group member countries. Time series information about these countries was collected from reputable international sources, including the World Bank, which, using Eviews software, was tested. Variables used in this study include health status (infant mortality rate), human capital, economic growth, public health expenditures, private health expenditures, and urbanization rates.Findings: The study's results indicate a significant negative effect of public and private health costs on infant mortality. Still, the impact of public spending has been more substantial than the private sector. In other words, allocating the government budget significantly impacts the health sector more than the private sector in reducing infant mortality, health expenditures, and urbanization rates. It can be argued that increasing public health care costs can significantly improve health and accelerate development goals to reduce infant mortality in these countries.Originality/Value: The present study showed that public health costs in this group of countries have a more significant effect than other model variables in reducing neonatal mortality, which could be a vital factor in improving health states and even the distribution of resources
