The article presents a cohort analysis of the earnings of Iranian men who entered Iran's labor market near the time of the 1979 Iranian Revolution. The possible role of the Revolution in Iran's decade-long economic downturn in the 1980s is examined. The authors are largely concerned with the relationship between age and earnings in Iran. Both macroeconomic and microeconomic data are utilized by the authors. Along with male earnings, per capita household expenditures since the Revolution are examined.
