To this aim, first, the data mining approach was used to predict the petroleum products and chemical industry using clustering stock market data. Then, some effective factors, such as crude oil price, exchange rate, global interest rate, gold price, and S&P 500 index, were used to estimate each industry index using Radial Basis Function and Multi-Layer Perceptron neural networks. Finally, by comparing the validation ratios in a bullish market using K-Means, SOM, and Fuzzy C-means clustering algorithms, the best algorithm was employed to predict indicators for each industry. The sample was collected between December 15, 2008, and April 25, 2018. The results revealed that the Multi-Layer Perceptron algorithm had the highest accuracy and was the best option for portfolio predicament. However, the Fuzzy C-means algorithm produced the best clusters. Practical results showed that Sepahan oil and Kharg petrochemical stocks were the most important stocks in the short term while Kharg petrochemical, Fannavaran petrochemical, and Tehran oil refinery stocks made higher contributions in a stock portfolio in the medium- or long-term.

This test, like other unit root tests, uses auto regressivemodel, unlike other methods that emphasize the mean of thedependent variable, this test employees different variables orquantiles for estimating the regression. If the theory of purchasingpower parity is in place, the real exchange rate will be stationary.According to the results of quantile unit root test, the real exchangerate for dollar in all countries except the four countries ofMorocco, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and Jordan has a unit root and isnot stationary. Therefore, except for the four countries mentioned,the theory of purchasing power parity is not true in other studiedcountries. This result could be due to the difference inmacroeconomic conditions and less flexibility of the foreignexchange system in these countries compared to developedcountries. نظریه برابری قدرت خرید آزمون ریشه واحدمدل خود رگرسیون کوانتیل کشورهای خاورمیانه و شمال آفریقا 2020 05 12 253 263 https://ijes.shirazu.ac.ir/article_5549_4859f0ed1dde57b33a4374b82932d6bc.pdf

In this study the interaction between individual businesses taxpayers' behaviors and National Tax Administration is investigated by using prospect theory which is based on behavioral economics approach. For this purpose, the structure of the tax compliance of the mentioned taxpayers is evaluated via the changes in penalty and incentive rates. In this way, a special questionnaire regarding the items of individual businesses sector of Direct Tax Act was designed for tax compliance evaluating and the results obtained using Bayesian Hierarchical method. The results indicate that the investigated individual business taxpayers, at all income levels were more sensitive toward incentive rates, so that this result can be useful for tax policymakers. اقتصاد رفتاری تمکین مالیاتی جرایم مشوق ها 2020 03 19 265 281 https://ijes.shirazu.ac.ir/article_5548_a7c61499555e09f7348b327da8207644.pdf

In the first stage, Iran’s economy has been modeled in the form of a New Keynesian Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium model (NK-DSGE). After modeling and extracting the system of equations, the structural parameters of the model have been estimated by using seasonal data from 1989 to 2016 and also the Bayesian approach. The results show that monetary and fiscal expansionary policies increase production though they are associated with inflation. In the second stage, the optimal monetary and fiscal rules have been extracted from a social loss function, and accordingly the conditions of a non-inflationary exit from stagnation have been investigated. The results of the simulation show that the optimal monetary policy cannot by itself lead to the exit of the economy from stagnation without inflation. However, if this policy is applied along with an optimal fiscal policy, a non-inflationary exit from economic stagnation can be achieved. سیاست پولی و مالی بهینه الگوهای تعادل عمومی پویای تصادفی اقتصاد ایران 2020 03 30 283 314 https://ijes.shirazu.ac.ir/article_5547_87bff868b63ebf0aa96519196a213c79.pdf

Export subsidies affect social welfare in both static and dynamic situations , and the aim of this paper is to analyze and compare the welfare effects of export subsidies in one-period and multi-period games in differentiated goods markets. To analyze the welfare effects of export subsidies, a two-stage game of complete but inperfect information is considered. In the first stage, two governments determine the amount of export subsidies and in the second stage, two firms determine the product level. The results show that, given that the firms’ competitiveness do not differ so much, export subsidies by both governments increase the firms’ profits and decrease social welfare of both countries. In an infinitely repeated game with different discount factors for both countries, and by adopting trigger strategy, we create some conditions, in which both governments commit free trade. However, if the competitiveness of one firm is so greater than the other, free trade using trigger strategy is not stable and the country with more competitive firm has incentive to deviate. سیاست تجاری استراتژیک یارانه‌های صادراتی محصولات متمایز تعادل نش بازی تکراری 2020 05 31 315 334 https://ijes.shirazu.ac.ir/article_5669_f86349a4ee751c2bdb528f06ca70a88e.pdf

Specifically, this research aimed to answer: ―What is the process of developing medical tourism businesses in a developing country like Iran?‖ For this purpose, a grounded theory approach was used. In-depth interviews were conducted with fifteen medical tourism entrepreneurs who had experienced the above mentioned process. Analyzing the structure of values and interactions of entrepreneurs with others through their interviews led to the formation of an intermediate theory. The pattern obtained from this study shows that the main category that led to innovations among the studied medical tourism businesses was entrepreneurs’ tendency to create entrepreneurial activities, that is an innovative initiative. Based on our findings, should an innovative entrepreneur be affected by intermediate and environmental conditions, he or she introduces specific strategies to effectively carry out entrepreneurial activities that are discussed in this paper. کسب وکارهای گردشگری پزشکی نوآوری نظریه برخاسته از داده ایران 2020 06 13 335 348 https://ijes.shirazu.ac.ir/article_5671_9e6b53c7c320e6e86495ae5f90681542.pdf

In this vein, postulating the thematic analysis proposed by Ary et al. (2010) as the analytical framework, this study integrated the concepts utilized in the discourse of Resilient economy extracted from various materials, articles, excerpts, interviews, and questionnaires through diverse qualitative techniques such as open, axial, and selective codifications. Moreover, to select a subset of common concepts and remove the redundant ones, factor analysis was applied as a quantitative technique. The findings elucidated two major theoretical views, i.e. macroscopic and microscopic. Macroscopic view accounts for the themes of history and philosophy behind Resilient economy, while microscopic view illuminates four themes of requirements, principles, objectives, and application procedures, which altogether comprised a model describing Resilient economy in the Iranian context. In the denouement, it was concluded that Resilient economy is the essence of Islamic and monotheistic economy where justice, fairness, democracy and knowledge shine as its premises, conducive to bolstering independence, flourish, innovation, entrepreneurship, and constant success and growth. Parenthetically, the study proposed some implications for economics teachers and discourse analysts at the end. تحلیل گفتمان اقتصاد مقاومتی ایران 2020 06 22 349 373 https://ijes.shirazu.ac.ir/article_5709_83db30815cca5db3c81b5b4ef4964320.pdf

In this regard, a variety of financing methods, including the participatory models, have been applied for many years in the water and wastewater industry of Iran. The aim of this study is to identify and prioritize the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) indicators in the water and wastewater industry of Iran via machine learning techniques. To this end, after collecting, preparing and preprocessing the data, weighted indexing techniques including information gain and Gini index were utilized to prioritize the PPP factors. The results indicated that 93% of the indicators were effective in predicting the success of the projects. To compare the two methods, the precision of Naïve Bayes and Random Forest classifiers were taken into account and the information gain method yielded more reasonable findings with one percent difference. The evaluation of indicators elucidated that "complaints about service quality," "contract type," and "Conventional tariffs" revealed a huge impact on the success of collaborative projects. Among the 15 indicators, eight were directly pertinent to the project financing which is the main concern in this industry. مشارکت عمومی- خصوصی سرمایه‌گذاری شاخص کلیدی عملکرد صنعت آب و فاضلاب داده‌کاوی 2020 06 24 375 396 https://ijes.shirazu.ac.ir/article_5713_fd6e7ddcb35717612c4f4b22d999fe38.pdf

Culinary tourism deals with cookery, cuisines, and food ways of a country, region, or locale as a unique and memorable activity. The present study was aimed to prioritize factors influencing culinary tourism development using marketing mix strategy in Khorasan Razavi province, Iran. This applied research was performed by descriptive–survey method. The population consisted of experts in tourism and hotel management as well as experts in food industry, cookery, and restaurant management. Using stratified random sampling, first 200 participants were selected to fill the questionnaire, in order to identify effective factors, and then, 10 experts were asked to rank these factors. Confirmatory factor analysis and Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process were employed to analyze the data. Findings of the study suggested that, among the four marketing mix strategies, price-related factors with a normal weight of 0.033 ranked first, and in terms of sub criteria related to study dimensions, matching prices to product quality and branding of local food products with a weight of 0.095 and 0.093, respectively were identified as the top factors influencing culinary tourism development.

To obtain robust results, we have applied the model in the Iran’s economy by time series data during the period of 1974-2016. The results in developing countries showed that in small governments, the government size had a diminutive effect on the inequality of happiness, but by passing the threshold and increasing the government's involvement in the economy, this variable had no significant effect on the happiness inequality. The same time series results were obtained for Iran’s economy, which has a small government size. In this group, the government size has a significant negative impact on happiness inequality and after that, it has a significant positive impact on happiness inequality. Developed countries showed completely different results, whereby the size of the government had a significant positive impact on inequality in small governments but in large governments, it did not have a significant effect on the inequality of happiness. اندازه دولت نابرابری شادی کشورهای در حال توسعه کشورهای توسعه یافته رویکرد آستانه ای 2020 06 24 421 439 https://ijes.shirazu.ac.ir/article_5551_450f01840e890f75369ab5a0aad6be82.pdf

Due to this degree of importance, this paper analyzed the effects of managed floating exchange rate regime on dynamics of some macroeconomics variables of Iran. To do this, we design a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) model for Iran and then using quarterly data over 1989-2016 and Bayesian method, the structural parameters of the model have been estimated. By employing conditional forecasting, our results show that managed floating exchange rate regime, compared with fixed regime, brings more economic growth and at the same time, less speculative activities in money and exchange markets. Moreover, the results from variance decomposition reveal that exchange rate shocks are the most important shock in deriving business cycles and fluctuations of other variables. Based on these finding, we propose policymaker to choose managed floating exchange rate regime as its policy rule.     رژیم نرخ ارز مدلهای DSGE ارزیابی سیاستی پیش بینی شرطی 2020 06 24 441 462 https://ijes.shirazu.ac.ir/article_5546_c54fed262e0e9bac0cf3e4a94b3a5bb7.pdf
