  In this paper, the relationship between scale efficiency and industrial concentration of 22 food and beverages industries are studied during 1997-2007. In this regard, the scale efficiency is calculated firstly. Then, industrial concentration is assessed by using Herfindahl- Hirschman index. Furthermore, by the help of Granger causality test, the causality relationship between scale efficiency and concentration variables is determined. The results of this research indicate that there is one-sided causality from concentration toward efficiency. Estimated Panel model confirms the validity of QL theory using 2SLS approach and shows that the increase of concentration reduces the efficiency of food and beverage industries in Iran. Thus, in order to increase the efficiency of food and beverage industries, policy makings should be focused on reducing concentration in these industries. Manuscript profile

  This paper investigates the effects of technology imports and employing higher educated people on the export of food and beverages in Iran by using a panel data during 2000-2007. The empirical results show that the import of technology and use of higher education have a positive and significant effect on the export of food and beverages. In addition, domestic demand of industrial production and price index of export goods have negative and significant effects on the food and beverages export. An important policy recommendation is that this paper tries to attract college-educated workforces along the country to provide food and beverage industry and facilitate the entry of foreign technology to reduce the cost of production exports.   Manuscript profile
