Abstract
The purpose of this article is to investigate the feasibility of forming an optimum currency area among Economic Cooperation Organization (ECO) member countries. One of the most important criteria in forming currency :union: between countries of one reign is synchronization of economic shocks. In other words, if fluctuations of macroeconomic variables source of regional member countries are regional shocks, then forming a monetary :union: between those countries would be an appropriate policy. This paper uses Bayesian state-space model in order to obtain the sources of macroeconomic fluctuations in ECO countries. And fluctuations in GDP, consumption and investment in these countries were due to 4 non-observable factors of world common shocks, regional common shocks, country specific shocks and idiosyncratic shocks. The results indicate that regional shocks don’t play a predominant role in explaining fluctuations of gross domestic production, consumption and investment in ECO member countries. Although, the share of regional shocks in macroeconomic shocks has been increased after forming the ECO organization, but still the country shocks has the most important role in explaining macroeconomic fluctuations. Then according to results, the policymakers should apply independent monetary policy encountering business cycles, so the use of a common currency area among ECO countries is not a proper monetary policy.

Abstract
In order to realize development programs based on non-oil exports, copper exports can be considered as one of the important resources in the field of foreign exchange to the country. Therefore, in this study, for the first time, the degree of similarity for convergence and feasibility of copper exports to ECO in the period (2020-2016) is investigated. The results of the gravity model indicate that the gross domestic product of the destination country with the data panel (0.677) and the dynamic data panel with generalized torques (GMM) effect (0.566) have a positive relationship with the copper trade, respectively. Significant and the effect of distance with copper exports has been estimated to be negative and significant. Also, the export potential index showed that the highest export capacity of Iranian copper is related respectively to Turkey, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, Kyrgyzstan and Turkmenistan, Afghanistan and Tajikistan. The export capacity of Iranian copper to different countries of the ECO, which is of paramount importance to the potential of both turkey and Pakistan. Overall, the results of this study can be a very useful way for macro-planning to find the target markets for Iranian copper trade, especially in the group of ECO countries.
