One of the goals of this paper is to study the competitive advantage of SMEs in Isfahan Province using the performance of its determinants in 1375 and 1384. In this way, we use the mixed indicators through the concept of local coefficient. The ranking is based on productivity indicators, value added, employment, dependence on domestic raw material, product output, and investment intensity using the entropy and TOPSIS. The study shows that the improved or unimproved performance of competitive advantage determinants is a flexible process which indicates the relative instability in the position of many SMEs within the last decade affected by different factors. Among these factors there are the access of SMEs to domestic raw material and financing the investments.

Competing Views of Competition and the Condition of Rivalry in Iranian Economy

In neoclassical theory, competition is a statement about the structure of market and defined in terms of state of equilibrium as well as the number of firms and their similarities. Critics of neoclassical view argue that competition is a succession of events, a dynamic process of change and innovation, a voyage of exploration into the unknown in which successively superior products and production methods are introduced. Unlike neoclassic writers, critics has emphasized on behavioral heterogeneity and differences between firms. They believe, to attain competitive advantage, firms must able to change their characteristics and offer differentiated products. In this paper we begin with a review of some competing view of competition and go on to develop an evolutionary approach to competition. The condition of competition in Iranian manufacturing sector is further investigated. Our findings indicate that competition is absent within industries and only take place between industries. This is the inevitable result of the prevalent allocation of resources in Iranian economy.

Privatization is one of the important Enterprises in Islamic Republic of Iran in Rrecent years that are a Significant Factor to reach a free competition market and this aim required to observe some legal Regulation and Organization. Otherwise Monopolization and Trusts Lead to Distortion in Competition and lessen consumer welfare in society. In this paper first we define Economic Market and Antitrust Market then we Express Market Power and its indices, Regulation and its instruments and antiTrust law, finally we apply these concepts to banking industry then propose some guidelines for Islamic Republic of Iran's banking industry.

Bid-Ask spread is an important component of market microstructure. Many studies have been done to determine the determinants of bid-ask spread. The conclusions of some studies indicate that there is a significant relationship between Bid-Ask spread and stock return volatility and market value of the firm. The main goal of this paper is survey the relationship between Bid-Ask spread and stock return volatility and market value of the firm. Therefore 156 firms are examined for the period 1381 through 1384. The selected approaches to examine the hypotheses are cross sectional and panel data regressions. Signification of the models is examined by t and F statistics.

Dependence between Banks Gharzulhasaneh Deposits (BGH) and expected inflation in analyzed in this working paper. Results show that BGH is exogenous toward to expected inflation (1961-2007) and Cagan demand function coefficient is -0.014. This coefficient shows that one percent increasing in expected inflation decrease BGH around % 0.014.

In this research the tries are for surveying of total trend of non oil export during the 1360-86 and various sectors of export including manufacturing and mine, agricultural and carpet in the Fars and East Azerbaijan, for specifying the Total of Export instability is due of which of the mentioned sectors. First, to reach this goal, by using of Coppock Index, the process of export instability of each of the mentioned sectors is being calculated and compared. In the next stage by using of an econometric model and by calculating of Macbean index, the instability index for the total period and for the various sectors are being calculated the effect of each of these export instability indices with the sector concentration variable and also the real exchange rate variable in the process of export stability for the mentioned provinces are being considered. The results of comparing the periods in this research show that Coppock instability index is going to decrease in both provinces and the instability variations of this index in the eastern Azerbaijan for the Carpet group is more than the agriculture and manufacturing and mine groups and this index variations for Fars provinces in the agriculture sector have been more than the manufacturing and mine sector and carpet group. The results of estimating of regression model for the effective factors on the export instability for the considered period show that in eastern Azerbaijan only the carpet group and the real exchange rate variable and in Fars only the agriculture sector and the real exchange rate variable have important and determining role.

Olive is one of the oldest plants in the world. With attention to ecological conditions of Iran for cultivation of olive and also importing of 80 percent our needed olive oil. The development design of olive groves in Iran started at 1993.This paper examines the performance of the Olive industry in Iran over 1985–2009 years. Malemquist index approach permits fully non-parametric estimation avoiding the usual curse of dimensionality that plagues traditional non-parametric efficiency estimators. The resulting estimates are robust with respect to outliers and noise in the data. The results of study show that following the removal of government intervention policy in olive industry and distribution, efficiency in all provinces improves for 1985-1993. For 1993-2001, jumping in technological progress with the average annual rate of 9.8 percent is remarkable.
