Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of shock of budget deficit, public sector debt and government financing methods on the composite index of economic well-being (with an emphasis on the components of income inequality and economic insecurity) using a structural autoregressive (SVAR) model and annual data from 1372 to 1402 S.H.. The results indicate that in the long run, budget deficits do not have a significant effect on the components of income inequality and economic insecurity. In contrast, the public sector (government debt to the banking system, including borrowing from the central bank, banks, and credit institutions) reduces income inequality and increases economic insecurity. Also, increasing liquidity and money circulation do not have a significant effect on income inequality but exacerbate economic insecurity. The bond issuance has a neutral effect on income inequality and at the same time reduces economic insecurity. Direct taxes increase income inequality, while indirect taxes have a negative effect on income inequality. In addition, direct and indirect taxes will increase economic insecurity. Accordingly, it can be concluded that the budget deficit alone does not have an impact on the components of the composite index of economic well-being; rather Its financial methods can affect the components of income inequality and economic insecurity.
