In industrial economics literature, the relationship between production quantity and production costs can be expressed as “learning curve”. Based on the existing literature on the learning curve, learning is not uniform across industries and besides that, can be influenced by other factors such as technology .Accordingly, due to the lack of such studies in Iran, the present research attempts to examine the impact of different levels of technology on learning in Iran's manufacturing industries. For this purpose, the Log-Linear model and the Cobb Douglas cost function are combined and the OECD definition of industries classification in terms of technology levels is used. The findings indicate that the highest level of learning belongs to the High-Tech industries and from policy- making point of view, attending to these industries is necessary. Furthermore, the higher learning rates in the mentioned industries are able to cover some of their initial costs. In conclusion, attending to learning is required for industrial development policy- making.

The main objective this research is analysis of industrial project selection criteria. The study sample managers, experts and industry experts are And tools used interviews and questionnaires The 50 questionnaires distributed among professionals, And finally 21 were gathered And in interviews with 19 experts and industry experts were interviewed.To establish priority criteria Industry Grounded theory and To analyze the relationships between parameters of Fuzzy DEMATEL techniques were used. Grounded theory results Experts suggest that tacit knowledge of technical issues, are aware of cultural, social and financial. Technical indicators Grounded Theory have been the highest importance. This means that professionals are more important to Technical.Output Fuzzy DEMATEL techniques Confirms that environmental criteria has more The greater interaction Cultural norms - social, environmental, financial, legal and political infrastructure Ali and technical criteria, economic and market are in effect. According to finding, in terms of importance to the criteria of environmental, cultural - social, infrastructural and legal political level are of utmost importance.

The purpose of this research is studying market monopoly effects on the banking system performance in Iran. Therefore, the effect of market concentration on the banking system operation by using the Quarterly data and Auto Regressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) was evaluated. Period of study and Data was for the period 1996-2010. Totally, the result of this research shows that market concentration has positive and meaningfull effect on banking system performance. The inflation and the risk have negative and meaningfuleffects on banking system performance. The ratio of bank facilities to bank deposit have positive on banking system performance. The Adjustment coefficient for banking system operation function is estimated 0.25. This means that the adjustment Process for banking system operation take 4 period.

This study to analyze the content of technological and change of Sophistication and factors embodied in Iran exports. Results show that Iran's export basket is always dependent on primary products. Technological changes in the composition of exports towards knowledge-based and high value-added goods was not successful. Research findings suggest that the complexity of Iran's exports is low level. In addition, the intensity of physical capital and intensity of human capital embodied in exports is also low level. Technological change, diversification of economic activities and creating new economic sectors is necessary to achieve the desired goals. Cooperation between the government and the private sector Relying on Identify the capabilities and advantages lies in the country, Using the experience of successful countries, Encourage and motivate firms To changes in technology, productivity and production of products with high added value and providing the conditions for innovation will create a revolution in Iran's technology exports.

One of the factors affecting the dynamics of the economy is to pay wages proportional to productivity. If wage inequality is caused by factors other than productivity, there will be losses imposed on the economy.This study focuses on utilizing the data of micro-level Households’ Income and Expenditure surveys of the statistical center of Iran over 2005-2014. It also uses the Oaxaca-Blinder (1973) and Machado-Mata (2005) decomposition model to analyze wage inequality and contribution of discrimination and productivity difference in the industrial sector’s wage gap. The evidences show that wage inequality has decreased but the share of wage discrimination has increased, while the share of productivity difference has decreased. The results suggest that firms economic rent has played a dominant role in determining wages and productivity has had no much role in determining wage.In fact, reducing the role of human capital in determining wage inequality has occurred for the three following reasons: there is a decrease in the quality of human capital, there is no adequate relationship between education and production activities in the industry sector,and there is no effective relationship between universities and the industry sector.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of competition and corporate governance on the adjustment speedoffinancial leverage in the capital market. In this regard, a sample consisted of 175 firms listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange during the five-year period (2011-2015) were selected. The mentioned firms first based on the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) were dividedinto two generalgroups (firms with high and lowcompetition. Afterward each of them, based on corporate governance index, was divided into two sub-groups (strong and weak corporate governance). Then,the adjustment speed offinancial leverage financial leverage was fitted in all four portfolios and the estimated results were compared. The multivariate regression analysis using panel data was used to test the hypothesis.The results indicatedthat the considered firms in all four portfoliosmoved toward leverages goals by different speeds. But, the cost of these adjustmentsdid not permit managers changedthe ratio of financial leverages, under competitioncondition. The lag ofthe adjustmentspeed of financial leverage and the lag of on time change in the financial leverageharmed management.Indeed, market competitionwas caused the management weakness problem was aggravated.
