Abstract

In this paper we study the impacts of Afghan immigrants on the unemployment rate in Iran, through time series data analysis and estimating regression equations using Ordinary Least Square (OLS) method. Results indicate that during the period under study (1976-2006), Iranian workers have been replaced by Afghan workers. In fact, Afghan immigrants led to increase the unemployment rate in the economy of Iran.
