The central goal of this research is to investigate the relationship between concentration ratio, skilled labour and efficiency in Iranian manufacturing industries. In order to measure the technical efficiency, we use the stochastic frontier analysis (SFA) method and data related to 131 of industries at 4-digit level of ISIC code during 1996-2009. To achieve the aim of study, we develop an analytical framework based on the fuzzy logic. Results suggest that there is a positive relationship between efficiency and skilled labour, while the concentration index has negative impact on industry's efficiency.

This study aims to investigate the impact of government and resistive economy on the purchase of Iranian goods. The state of the economy in Iran, particularly the imposed sanctions, highlights the role of the government in the economic cycle. Following the introduction of the concept of resistive economy, the present study attempts to find ways to improve the economy and help domestic manufacturers. This applicative study is based on structural equation modelling. Using literature, a questionnaire was prepared whose validity was confirmed by university experts. The population of this study comprises appliance manufacturers participating in the Isfahan Home Tech exhibition. 110 questionnaires were distributed at random, of which 93 were returned. The collected data were analyzed using Smart PLS 2.0. The findings indicate that both the government and resistive economy have a significant positive impact on the purchase of Iranian goods.

Analyzing the United Nations’ Security Council Arms Embargoes against Islamic Republic of Iran
Seyyed Mostafa
Kazeroni
Following the intensifying of Iran’s nuclear crisis since 2006 onwards, the whole key parts of Iranian industries are subject to United Nations’ Security Council crippling sanctions. One of the main industrial parts of Iran sanctions regime is military and arms industries that were imposed for the first time in course of resolution 1737. Nevertheless, there are three Security Council arms embargoes against Iran, that is to say 1737, 1747 and 1925 among overall six sanctions. In this study, the method for gathering information is descriptive studies that are based on reviewing the most authoritative international instruments like Security Council’s arms embargoes. In the current study, we are looking for analysing firstly, UN Security Councils arms embargoes against Iran and then examining the positive effects and violations of so-called arms embargoes. In addition, we will carry out comparative study of UN Security Council’s arms embargoes regimes between Iran and Iraq and North Korea and ultimately point out the challenges and vacuities of arms embargoes against Iran. The conclusion of current study showed that not only the UN Security Council arms embargoes against Iran didn’t make the arms and military industries with drawing, but also because of the unilateral arms embargoes since the beginning of glorious Islamic Revolution 1979, the arms and military industries had endured the least loss from arms embargoes and these embargoes made arms industries more profitable for Iranians.
