Abstract :
Today, the level of a country's development is directly related to itsinternational trade volume. Using the export-oriented development strategy,countries can achieve growth in national production and therefore increaseemployment.The necessity to develop non-oil exports in Iran's economy toachieve these goals and to solve the problems due to economy's dependenceon oil revenues, particularly in the current period is important. Developmentof investment and the growth in non-oil exports are important factors inrealizing national production goals. Accordingly, the role of science in theeconomy, due to creating expertise and improving the productivity ofproduction factors, has long had been the focus of attention. Therefore, thepresent study, by using time series data and Vector Auto Correction (VAR)Model, has tried to investigate the effects of the efficiency of productionfactors, information and communication technology, and foreign directinvestment on non-oil export growth during 1971-2008. The results confirmthe impact of the mentioned factors on non-oil exports and clarifies the waysto consider those factors with regard to trade policies.
