Abstract

Introduction: Resistive economy as a new concept/doctorine has entered to the Iranian economics literature several years ago. However, in order to be applied efficiently, a common perception among experts is necessary regarding its definition, instances and requirements. Thus, this study was conducted with the aim of general explanation of resistive economy concepts, its instances and requirements as well as identification of its requirements in health sector based on the experts’ opinions.

Methods: In this qualitative study, 8 in-depth and face-to-face interviews were conducted with some economist as well as some health economists who were selected through purposive sampling methods. The interviews were transcribed and analyzed using the conventional content analysis method. MAXQDA Analytics Pro2020 (VERBI GmbH Berlin) Release 20.4.0 was used for coding and data management.

Results: Two concepts of “economic resilience” and “comprehensive concept of resistive economy” were identified. Then, the instances and requirements related to these two concepts were determined. An anti-shock economy, an oil-free economy, economic productivity and change were identified as instances of “economic resilience” and justice-oriented, knowledge-based, endogenous, extraversion, democratized, jihadi culture, Islamization of the economy, and resistive economy as a political economy were identified as the instances of “comprehensive concept of resistive economy”. The instances and requirements of resistive economy in health sector were also elaborated.

Conclusion: There are numerous interpretations of resistive economy. Based on expert opinions, resiliency is a very important specification of that economy, but other specifications should also exist to address the comprehensiveness of the concept. In order to implement and operationalize the resistive economy in various sectors including the health sector, the first step is to reach a common understanding of resistive economy amongst the experts.
