EstablishedMahdavy (1970), studying Iran, defined rentier states as countries that receive substantial amounts of external rent on a regular basis; Beblawi and Luciani (1987) added that in a rentier state the rents accrue directly to the government and only a small part of the population is engaged in generating them.
