Abstract
In this study, the relative poverty threshold has been calculated through linear expenditure system using
Seemingly Unrelated Regression (SUR) and household budget report statistics in urban and rural areas during 2001-2011.
The results obtained from this study show that the poverty threshold has been increased from 30787 thousand Rials in 2002 to
138381 thousand Rials in 2011 in urban areas and from 19232 thousand Rials in 2002 to 84887 thousand Rials in 2011 in
rural areas. Poverty indices in the current study have been increased both in urban and rural areas which represent worsening
the status and increasing the number of the poor
