Abadan oil refinery (1950)
The Hamid and Christina Moghadam Program is pleased to announce the launch of a new initiative: the Stanford Iran 2040 Project.
The Stanford Iran 2040 Project is an academic initiative that serves as a hub for researchers all around the world, particularly the Iranian diaspora scholars, to conduct research on issues related to the long-term, sustainable economic development of Iran and evaluate their possible implications in a global context. The Project encourages quantitative and forward-looking research on a broad array of areas relating to Iran's economic development in the long run to envision the future of the country under plausible scenarios. The sectors covered in the first phase of the project include: economy, energy, water, environment, food and agriculture, and transport.
Two working papers were recently published, The Future of Iran's Oil and Its Economic Implications, and Evaluation of Land and Precipitation for Agriculture in Iran, and garnered significant attention within the community. Continue to follow the Iran 2040 Project for more working papers, conferences, research awards, and lectures.
This project would not be possible without a generous gift from Hamid Moghadam and the support of the Center on Democracy, Development, and the Rule of Law.
