According to development economists in the modern theory of economic growth, total factor productivity is affected by domestic research and development costs .It also depends on the accumulation of foreign R & D and the volume of imports. According to the results of this research, total factor productivity in agriculture of Iran's is dependent on domestic and foreign R & D expenditures and the volume of imports from Partners. For this purpose, a model of agricultural total factor productivity to Iran with the help of ARDL econometrics approach and the time series between 1980 - 2010 was estimated.
The results showed that effect of domestic research expenditures on agricultural productivity is less than of foreign investment in research and development. In this study, intermediate inputs and goods imports have a positive and significant impact on agricultural TFP in the long-term. Climatic conditions as a symbol of rain, has a positive effect on agricultural total factor productivity.
Based on this model, it is suggested that a significant proportion of GDP allocated to domestic agricultural research. Furthermore, it is essential that agricultural imports from countries with a high volume of research and development to be done to enhance the size of productivity in this sector.

Improving the productivity of financial markets plays an important role in the economies of countries. Given the bank-oriented financing system of most countries, it is important to know the ways to measure and increase the level of productivity in banks. Accordingly, the purpose of this study is investigating the short-term and long-term causality between capital adequacy, labor and Total Factor Productivity (TFP) in a set of 10 banks listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange in 2010-2019. So, Dynamic Ordinary Least Squares (DOLS) method, Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) and Wald test have been used. According to the results, in the short run, a one-way Causality from capital adequacy to TFP is obtained. In the long run, the two-way relationships between labor and capital adequacy variables with TFP are positive. In this study, the error correction term, which indicates the speed of short-term adjustment to long-term equilibrium, has been evaluated

For many economic planners and policy makers, enhancing productivityhas been one of the efficient methods in increasing economic growth. Basedon that, countries have invested a great deal to increase total factorproductivity. In this article, the effect of human capital, openness to tradeand inflation on total factor productivity has been investigated in Iran during1976-2012. We estimated total factor productivity TFP, using Malmquistindex. We also investigated the effects of various factors on productivity,using Johansen and Juselius’ co-integration techniques. Our findingsindicate that human capital has a positive effect on productivity. We alsofound that openness has a positive and inflation has a negative effect on totalfactor productivity in Iran

The present article tries to measure and analyze the productivity of the selected developing countries during 1998-2007 through the use of data envelopment analysis method and Malmquist index, and then to examine the relationship between productivity and economic growth in the countries with high productivity growth. The results obtained from the study show that 17 countries have the efficiency rate under 0.9, and that from the viewpoint of technical efficiency, only Kuwait is placed on the boundary function of production. Also, from the viewpoint of management efficiency, countries such as Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kuwait, Kyrgyz Republic, Lithuania, Mongolia, Ukraine, and Tunisia have the highest rate of efficiency.

The purpose of this paper is decomposition of total factor productivity (TFP) to technological progress, technical efficiency, allocative efficiency, scale effects in Iran’s manufacturing industries. For this, a stochastic Frontier production model was estimated for 135 manufacturing industries over the period 1379-1393. The findings showed that technological progress in 21 industrial groups has been grew on average 12 percent annually. In relation to technical efficiency many of technical industries have been weaken in using exist technologies or have been inefficient technically. The third factor findings showed that Iran’s manufacturing industries have been utilized from scale effects. In relation to allocative efficiency, also, all groups have experienced negative growth except Recycle group. In result, among components of total factor productivity, allocative efficiency has been more unfavorable and it refers to in Iran’s economy the resources allocate in unfavorable. On the base of the results, improvement in financing system, increasing in private sector capacitance, improvement in business space are suggested.

AbstractFinancial integration through increasing the level of investment in countries can have many positive effects on macroeconomic variables such as employment, economic growth, increasing the volume of international trade and ultimately the productivity of countries. This study examines whether fiscal integration in Iran can affect overall productivity growth and whether integration policies and subsequent fiscal integration can be among the policies that are needed. Should these countries adopt for their economic integration process? This study investigates the role and effects of financial integration on the productivity of total factors of production through the vector Autoregressive Distributed Lag during the period 1379-1398 for the Iranian economy. The results of estimating the model in the short and long term indicate a positive and significant relationship between financial integration and productivity during the selected time period. Also, variables such as trade openness and domestic investment have a positive relationship with productivity, but the inflation rate has had a negative impact on overall productivity.

High rates of wastes in rice Conversion Industries at Gilan Province Resulting huge losses to the economy of the farmers and reveals low productivity of factors are used in processing paddy to white rice. so Any change in efficient and effective use of inputs Depends on measuring total production system productivity and to identify factors affecting it. The main goal of this research is measurement of productivity and evaluate of factors affecting on it in Gilan province rice conversion industries. a survey was conducted and the required data were collected by questionnarie 130 samples determined through stratified sampling method. We have used Production Function to measure productivity and evaluate of factors affecting and for ranking of factories Data Envelopment Analysis method have been used. results showed that length of paddy on the surface of dryer machine, Technology gap and gap between actual and potential production have negative effect and factors such as capital intensive, using native varieties, education of factory manager and ratio of paddy purchased by factory to total consumed paddy have positive effect on TFP

According to the Ahluwalia hypothesis (1995), the growth of total factor of productivity (TFP) in agricultural sectors along with the other government infrastructural investment in rural areas are the reason of income inequality decrease in these areas.The main objective of this study is to investigate the effects of public investments such as agricultural, road and education(R&E) and Irrigation on income inequality in rural areas of Iran. This research also attempts to study the direction of causality between the income inequality and total factor productivity (TFP) in Iran. Using ARDL methods in the period at 1980 to 2008, empirical results showed that there is a negative relationship between income inequality and agricultural TFP in rural areas of Iran. Hence, additional investments in rural education and agricultural R&E have significant impacts on income inequality. Findings showed also that the Ahluwali hypothesis of the relationship between income inequality and agricultural TFP in Iran's rural areas is not ejected

Due to the limited resources, the necessity of increasing productivity and the use of production factors in activities that are the most important. This study aimed to measure the productivity of the production of various economic sectors in the province for years of 2000-2007. Using the production function and panel data techniques and methods Solow residual productivity of production factors calculated. Based on the results, average total factor productivity , capital and labor in the study had abnormal trend and volatility are rising or falling. The mining industry and the highest rates of growth in productivity and labour and the communications sector as well as the highest average productivity of the capital.
