        This paper evaluates the effects of financial liberalization on Market Capitalization Ratio, from 1990 to 2008, for a sample of 6 countries. These countries are of the MENA region: Egypt, Oman, Saudi Arabia,, Iran Islamic Rep, Jordan, Tunisia. We used the Foreign Direct Investment as financial liberalization index. The finding shows that financial liberalization spurs Market Capitalization Ratio. Unfortunately this effect is low. Some of reasons are economic instability , visit constraint for foreign investment and securities expansion to them. Economic stability and substructure provisions and precaution for securities expansion to foreign investment are precondition to liberalization Manuscript profile

        This paper aims to delineate the dynamics of financial liberalization and economic growth in mena region (Middle East and North Africa) based on data entailing the period of 1996-2007, using group pooled technique. In doing so, the technique has employed some potential and actual indicators of financial liberalization to measure the impact on economic growth of financial liberalization, for example, the flow of foreign direct investment has been used as a proxy for actual financial liberalization index. As such the paper has investigated the casual relation between economic growth and financial development on one hand and that of financial development and financial liberalization on the other hand. The result indicate that in the former case one way relation exist i.e. economic growth exert its impact on financial development but in the latter case no casual relationship has not been noticed. Moreover, it has been found that economic liberalization has rendered a positive impact on economic growth Manuscript profile

        With the emergence of "new institutionalism" school, the role of institutions and social capital in economic growth and Economic performance has been more attention. In some countries, evidence of Aaron (2000) and Barr (1996 ) Studies showed that the economic growth had effectively been prevented by the weak political institutions and economic institutions. Also, based on the North Institutional idea, the return of political activities are the trust and participation and provider of social capital. Nowadays, the social capital is the main Principle for achieving to high economic growth and development, and it is difficult to access to development and economic growth without social capital.There for, in this study, the effect of social capital along with the physical capital, human capital, openness, the size of Government and the labor force on economic growth are investigated by using a panel data model for the Middle East and North Africa countries over the period 1996-2012. On the base of results, the social capital has a significant positive effect on economic growth. So governments need to pay attention to socio-economic and cultural conditions in favor of social capital formation for achieving economic growth. Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective: Although urbanization is often discussed in the context of economic modernization, however, it is a demographic indicator that increases urban density and transforms the organization of human behavior and thereby influences household energy use patterns. Accordingly, using panel data approach and STIRPAT mode, this study examines the effect of urbanization on carbon dioxide emission in the Organization of Islamic Cooperation member states. Methods: This research is doing a causal-analysis by using panel data over the period of 2000 to 2010 for the 4-3 selected Organization of Islamic Cooperation countries. Findings: Our results indicate that, coefficient of all variable of the model has been expected based on theoretical and are statistically significant. So that, one percent increase in urbanization, Gross Domestic Product per capita and energy intensity, rises carbon dioxide emissions  by 0.57, 0.74 and 0.55 percent  respectively. Discussion and Conclusion: Given the positive impact of urbanization, Gross Domestic Product per capita and energy intensity variables on carbon dioxide emissions, it is recommended that the Organization of Islamic Cooperation members, reduce air pollution and carbon dioxide emissions through optimizing energy consumption and increasing the usage of new energy source, that generate less pollution and efficient energy consumption in the production and promotion of production energy and technology distribution in countries, realization the price of energy, promotion the technical and environmental standards of industrial production, increasing energy efficiency and expanding environment cultural and providing appropriate substrates and rural development.

        An empirical analysis is carried out establishing the existent relationship among the stock market (Beta) and (a) macroeconomic and (b) accounting informations. Regression analysis, using static and dynamic panel data estimations, is applied to a sample of 61 listed Iranian firms, between 2001and 2010. Systematic risk is estimated through OLS, EGARCH and M-GARCH models and use TEDPIX index (Tehran Stock Exchange Dividend & Price "total return" Index) as market portfolio. The results show a connection between the systematic risk and the independent variables. The best models are found when we estimate the systematic risk using EGARCH model and applying a combination of macroeconomic and accounting  variables. The most important variables explaining the systematic risk are Size (SZ), Growth Rate (GR) and Debt Ratio (DR) from accounting variables and Gross Domestic Product (GDPI),inflation (Change in CPI index), Legal interest rate (LINT), Oil price (Oilprice) and Exchange rate (EXCR). The results vary using different models and might be different if we use a different sample. Manuscript profile

        برنامه­های توسعه­ای کشور بر استراتژی رشد مبتنی بر صادرات تاکید دارد و متنوع سازی صادرات، یکی از سیاست­های مناسب در این زمینه است. یکی از عوامل مؤثر در شناخت توانمندی­های تولیدی و صادراتی یک کشور برای اتخاذ سیاست­های مناسب در آن زمینه، وجود مزیت نسبی در تولید و صادرات کالا بوده و تغییرات ارزش افزوده فعالیتهای صنعتی می­تواند توانمندی­های تولیدی و صادراتی کشور و همچنین رشد تولید را نشان دهد. با توجه به اهمیت و ارزش افزوده بخش کشاورزی در کشورهای در حال توسعه، ارزش افزوده و عوامل تاثیرگذار در صنایع سه گانه غذا، چوب و کاغذ مورد مطالعه قرار گرفته است. برای این منظور متغیر مزیت نسبی وزنی صنایع سه گانه کشاورزی و تنوع در این صنایع در طول سال های 1998 تا 2013 با استفاده از داده های پانل در نظر گرفته شده است. نتایج برآورد مدل نشان می دهد که در دوره مورد مطالعه صنایع چوب و کاغذ کمبود مزیت نسبی در تولید و صادرات داشته اند و این متغیر تاثیر منفی بر رشد ارزش افزوده خواهد داشت. متنوع سازی صادرات تنها در صنایع غذایی انجام شده است،  اما این متغیراثر مثبت بر رشد ارزش افزوده صنایع بخش کشاورزی دارد. متغیرهای سرمایه انسانی و سرمایه فیزیکی هم اثر مثبت بالایی بر  ارزش افزوده این صنایع، در بخش کشاورزی دارند.
