    Abstract: 
    In conventional economics, emphasis is laid on the impact of such factors like taxes, economic growth, inflation and financing on income distribution. In the literature of Islamic economics, in addition to the aforementioned important variables, Qard al-Hassan (interest-free) loan is considered as a means of decreasing inequality. Using the data collected from different Iranian provinces in the period from 1384 to 1390 and using Bayesian econometric approach, this study conducts a scientific investigation into the effect of interest-free loan and other factors on Gini coefficient (as the most important indicator of income distribution). According to the hypothesis of this research, Qard al-Hassan played a positive role in ensuring optimum income distribution in Iran in the above-mentioned period. The results of using a Bayesian model averaging (BMA) show that Qard al-Hassan deposits in the above-mentioned period has a negative correlation with Gini coefficient and it has improved the income distribution in Iran. The results also indicate that there is a reverse U form Kuznets hypothesis about the relationship between economic development and income distribution in the economy of Iran.

    Title :عوامل مؤثر بر توزیع درآمد در استان های ایران با تأکید بر قرض الحسنه: رویکرد اقتصادسنجی بیزینی
    Abstract: 
    در اقتصاد متعارف، بر تاثير عواملي همچون مالیات، رشد اقتصادی، تورم و نحوه تأمین مالی بر توزيع درآمد تاكيد شده است. در ادبیات اقتصاد اسلامی علاوه بر متغیرهای کلان مذکور، قرض‌الحسنه نیز به عنوان يكي از ابزارهاي مناسب جهت بهبود نابرابری به شمار می‌رود. در این پژوهش سعي شده است با استفاده از داده هاي استان‌هاي كشور طي دوره 1390-1384 و با بهره‌گيري از رویکرد اقتصادسنجی بیزینی اثر قرض‌الحسنه در کنار برخی عوامل دیگر بر ضريب جيني (به عنوان مهمترين شاخص توزيع درآمد) مورد كنكاش علمي قرار گيرد. بنا به فرضيه مقاله، قرض‌الحسنه نقشي مثبت بر بهبود توزيع در آمد در ايران طي دوره مذكور داشته است. نتايج حاصل از روش میانگین‌گیری مدل بیزینی (BMA) نشان مي‌دهد که سپرده‌گذاری قرض‌الحسنه طي دوره مزبور رابطه منفی با ضریب جینی داشته و موجب بهبود توزیع درآمد در ایران شده است. نتایج تحقيق همچنین حاكي از برقراری فرضیه کوزنتس مبني بر وجود رابطه U معکوس بین توسعه اقتصادی و توزیع درآمد در اقتصاد ايران مي‌باشد.
