Industrial investment in Iran, especially in the wake of sanctions’ intensification in the 2010s, decreased significantly. The government implemented fiscal policy which has been associated with uncertainty. In this paper, using a dynamic panel model and generalized method of moments, we examined the effect of fiscal policy uncertainty on investment in 24 industrial groups in Iran over the period 2002-2020. The results indicated that the growth of fiscal level shock,resulted in a low but positive effect on investment directly. However,the coefficient of cross effect between the growth of fiscal level shock and the fiscal policy uncertainty undermined the positive effect on industrial investment. The government has had two effects on industrial investment indirectly through the demand side shock. By creating demand, it has had a positive effect on industrial investment with the cross effect between the growth of the fiscal level shock and industrial sales. However, on the other hand, the growth of the fiscal level shock has been associated with the creation and growth of fiscal policy uncertainty, so that the cross effect between the growth of fiscal policy uncertainty and the growth of industrial sales on industrial investment shows a high negative coefficient. The results of these two effects suggest that due to high uncertainty,the indirect government effect on investment in 24 industrial groups is negative, which happens through the demand-side shock. Moreover, the growth of fiscal policy uncertainty, sanctions, and interest rates, respectively, have had the most adverse effect on investment in 24 industrial groups in Iran.

Exporting agricultural products is considered as one of the strategies for developing non-oil exports and achieving sustainable economic growth in developing countries. Saffron, as an export commodity, holds particular significance in Iran's non-oil exports. Given Iran's position among the top four saffron-exporting countries globally, this study aims to prioritize Iran's saffron target markets based on market competition indices and calculate its relative advantage and export stability index in the world market and Iran's export target countries. Comparison of the global market structure of the product during 2003 to 2022 revealed that despite the significant shares of Iran, Spain, England, and Nigeria in most years, the market structure has been characterized by a multi-sided monopoly, open and closed, and in some years dominated by oligopoly, indicating an increase in the number of competitors and the competitiveness of the export market for this product. Iran, with an average share of 13.6% in the saffron export market and producing over 80% of saffron, does not have a direct share in global exports, and most of Iran's saffron is exported to countries such as the UAE, Spain, China, and Oman, and then re-exported to other countries, for which strategies such as market expansion and branding need to be prioritized. The results showed that in 2022, four countries, Nigeria, Sri Lanka, Iran, and Spain, accounted for 93% of the total world exports, and Iran ranked second in terms of export volume in the saffron export market during the study period. Also, Iran had an export stability index of less than one (0.96) but the trend of this index indicates a decrease in Iran's stability. The results showed that the majority of Iran's saffron exports are concentrated in only four countries, with the composition of these countries varying over time. To enhance market stability and growth, it is crucial to expand the target export markets. Prioritization should be given to China, UAE, Spain, India, USA, Germany, France, Italy, Sweden, and Kuwait, with average priority ranks of 4.15, 6.85, 7.7, 7.95, 8.9, 12.3, 14.35, 15.25, 15.5, and 16.45 respectively. Furthermore, the results indicated that the export market for saffron is oligopolistic. Therefore, it is essential for all exporting countries to collaborate in determining the price and market share for each country. This collaborative approach can help in stabilizing the market, ensuring fair pricing, and promoting sustainable growth in the saffron industry.

Inflation as an undesirable economic phenomenon in recent years has had devastating effects on Iran economy. This made economic researchers devote plenty of reports and researches to the causes or ways to cope with inflation in Iran. In the present study, considering the importance of inflation, it was tried to take advantage of the econometric model to examine the effect of in Iran economy by using annual information from 1974 to 2021 and by using the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM). The results of the GMM model showed that the variables of labor wage index, liquidity volume, time-lag inflation and unofficial exchange rate growth have a positive and significant effect on inflation in Iran. Also, the GDP growth variable has a negative and significant effect on the dependent variable. The study suggests that in order to control inflation, the government in Iran should consider issues such as stability in economic policy-making, adopting appropriate fiscal policies, especially through budgetary discipline, and consistency of monetary and fiscal policies to curb inflation, to be important.

The current research was conducted with the aim of providing a conceptual framework for the development of relations with suppliers in Abadan Oil Refining Company. The research method is qualitative and based on the data theory of the foundation. To collect data, semi-structured interview was used and data analysis was done by Strauss and Corbin method and paradigm model. The statistical population was experts and managers with experience in Abadan Oil Refining Company, from which a sample of 21 people was selected after reaching theoretical saturation. Sampling has been done theoretically and using targeted (judgmental) techniques. The results of the analysis of the data obtained from the interviews, during the process of open, central and selective coding, led to the creation of models of the development model of the relationship with the suppliers of consumer products in the Abadan Oil Refining Company based on the data theory of the foundation, which ultimately provided a model for the development model. Communication with suppliers was identified. The findings of this research indicate that for the success of the development model of the relationship with the suppliers of consumer products, company managers can pay attention to the identified categories and subcategories and if they match the conditions of the company, from this category. use In addition, this research shows the need to pay attention to the development patterns of relationships with suppliers.

The price of Crude Oil is Exposed to Various Factors That Cause Random, Sudden and Chaotic Price Fluctuations. Accurate Forecasting of Oil Prices Has a Central Impact on The Macro Economy. The aim of This Study is to Predict the Fluctuations of OPEC Crude Oil in The  long-term Using Chaos Theory and GMDH-GA Algorithm. First, the Daily Oil Price Time Series is Decomposed by Wavelet Transformation. Then, Chaos is Tested Using Embedding Dimension, Lyapunov Power and GA tests. Finally, Time Series Noises are Reduced by Reconstructing the Wavelet Phase Space. Three Nonlinear Models, GMDH-GA model, GMDH-GA Wavelet Model, and GMDH-GA Extended Model, Were Used to Forecast Time Series. Although the Results Showed that All three Models are Favorable in Terms of Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and Correlation Coefficient, But the Developed GMDH-GA  Neural Network Model with low RMSE and High Correlation Coefficient is the Most Effective in Predicting the Daily Price of OPEC Crude Oil. has it.
