  Having a mutual relationship and considering the stakeholder’s interests, require corporate social reporting. Heterogeneous structure and lack of framework about current reporting of companies on sustainability issues related to social stakeholders, demonstrates the necessity to create a framework based on specific information elements of sustainability. The main purpose of the present study is to design and present a reporting framework with emphasis on different social stakeholder’s groups called “social reporting”. By designing a questionnaire containing 45 statements, experts’ comments on necessity, underlying concepts, information elements and social reporting content received and analyzed using Fuzzy Delphi method. According to the consensus of experts on all statements related to elements of social reporting framework, it is concluded that the appropriate framework is similar to the elements of the financial reporting frameworks in their views but, these elements must be defined in context of the sustainability from a social perspective. Among 16 themes suggested for defining and presenting social reporting content, 12 themes about personnel, customers, product/service, local communities and governance were accepted by experts.

  Background and Objective: Given the impact of the environment on human life and hence human survival, environmental protection is considered essential. Therefore, in order to achieve this goal, it seems obvious to identify the items that provide environmental sustainability. Therefore, in this study, we will determine the pattern of resource sustainability in environmental protection. Method: The method used in this research is fractional programming. The fractional programming is the most common type of mathematical programming with relative targets. The purpose of fractional programming is to find the optimum value of a function which contains linear restrictions with respect to the variables. Findings: This study evaluates in two scenarios; in the first scenario it is assumed that all land should be used. Result of this section showed cultivation of barely, alfalfa and silage maize are the optimum cropping pattern in the region to sustain environmental resources. In the second scenarios it is assumed that strategic crops such as wheat, barley and sugar beet cultivation in the list of products exist. Result of this section showed cultivation of wheat, barley, sugar beet, cucumber and alfalfa are the optimum cropping pattern in the region to sustain environmental resources. Discussion and Conclusions: The results of this study showed that the pattern presents cultivation of crops in the area of environmental sustainability is not effective and that major changes must be made.

  AbstractBackground and Purpose: In the development process, economic activities are associated with positive and negative environmental effects in countries. What is observed physically and in the present is the production of the product and the resulting growth in economic activities. While by assessing the environmental activities of economic activities and recognizing its direct and indirect negative effects on society now and in the future, the net effects of economic activities can be identified.Material and Methodology: The industrial sector is fundamental to economic growth. The industrial sector's share of total economic activity equals 16 percent. Sometimes its activities are accompanied by the destruction of the environment. This article examines the factors affecting CO2 emissions with an emphasis on the industrial sector by using the ARDL and FMOLS methods for the years 94-1360.Finding: The results of this study confirm EKC Technology. In other words, by increasing the value added of industry, the emission increases but its slope decreases (inverse u shape). With increasing fossil fuel consumption and globalization, emissions will increase.Discussion and Conclusion: Compare the results of the short-run and long-run model showing the sensitivity of Co2 emissions to fossil fuel consumption and the long run globalization index is larger than the short run.  Manuscript profile

  Valuation of environmental resources plays an important role in environmental economics in recent years. This research will assess the preservation value of  Vashi Strait and Savashi waterfall in Firouzkooh and estimate individual willingness to pay (WTP) for preserving the benefits obtained based on contingent valuation method (CVM) and double-bounded dichotomous choice (DDC). Vashi Strait and Savashi waterfall are one of the most important recreation areas in Tehran province and Firouzkooh city. To achieve the goal and estimate the willingness to pay, Logit and Probit models will be used based on maximum likelihood method. The data are collected via 275 questionnaires. The results represent that 78.5% of individuals have the willing to pay for preservation of Vashi Strait and Savashi waterfall. The average of WTP when visiting the site is about 12578.23 RLs per household yearly and also, the annual preservation value is calculated about 14339182200 RLs. Also, it is found that the variable of income has the most effectiveness on the acceptation of bid prices and provides enough justification for policy makers to maintain the quality of Vashi Strait and Savashi waterfall.

  The major aim of this paper is the survey of impact of trade and financial openness on ecological footprint in selected developing countries. In this paper, it has been tried to test the effect of trade and financial openness on ecological footprint in the form of simultaneous-equation system on the base of panel data to the years from 1994 to 2014. The results show, there are several factors, which can affect the trade and financial openness and cannot be considered as exogenous variables. Considering trade and financial openness as endogenous variables and the factors influencing them, the impact of such variables on the ecological footprint index can be examined more precisely. On this basis, trade openness has positive and significant effect on ecological footprint index (negative effect on environment quality). On the other hand, according to shelter of pollution hypothesis financial openness variable has positive and significant effect on the ecological footprint index. Manuscript profile

  Abstract Nowadays the people all over the world are increasingly worried about the emission of greenhouse gas and the environmental changes resulted. Since Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is the main source of pollution and emission of greenhouse gas, this paper is to study the relationship between the emission of this gas caused by energy consumption, economic growth and international trading in Iran during 1971-2011 based on environmental biology Kuznets Curve in practice. So, auto-distribution method with vast stops is used. The results represent that the use of energy, real gross national production per person and the rate of economy openness has a positive and significant effect on the emission of CO2. Furthermore, for the acceleration of short-term dividend pattern adjustment toward long-term balancing, error correction pattern is used. The coefficient estimated for ECM is -0.49 representing that imbalance of CO2 emission can be adjusted after two years by changing the level of energy consumption, national gross production and the rate of economy openness. By considering the increase of CO2 emission in Iran, it is necessary to make new environmental policies to decrease environmental destruction. Manuscript profile

  The experiences of developed countries represent that economic development emphasizing on the irregular use of environment would make serious problems on sustainable development. Economic activities are accompanied with the increase of energy consumption and emissions of greenhouse gas. By considering the importance of Economic activities in developing countries, the relationship between economic activities and pollution will be so important. Therefore, the aim of this study is to examine the linkage between Economic activities and air pollution using input-output table in Yazd province. Yazd province had 1.3% of total value added in 2006. The results show that the sectors by the highest pollution are basic metal production (40%) and transportation (35%). Manuscript profile

  AbstractEconomic complexity indicates the amount of productive knowledge within a country and the ability to use that knowledge to produce goods with more diversity and less ubiquity, which ultimately increases national competitiveness in the global arena and accelerates the process of achieving economic growth and development. Therefore, determining the factors affecting it - especially in developing countries - is of great importance. In this regard, the present study, by approaching panel data and using the generalized moment method, has determined the interactive effect of entrepreneurship and financial development on economic complexity in two groups of developing and developed selected countries during the period 2014-2019. Estimated results showed that the dimensions of entrepreneurship, including attitudes, abilities & aspirations of entrepreneurial, as well as financial development have a positive and significant effect on economic complexity in both groups of selected countries. However, the estimated coefficient of these variables is larger for developing countries. In addition, the three dimensions of entrepreneurship and financial development have a positive and significant interactive effect on economic complexity in both groups of selected countries. Finally, the effect of the control variables of natural resource abundance and intellectual property rights on economic complexity in both groups of selected countries respectively are negative and significant and positive and significant.

    Abstract In modern literature of international trade, institutional function and issuing efficient regulation from trade perspective are considered as the major reasons for economic development of the countries. Foreign direct investment (FDI) accumulation and export are the key determinant of foreign trade which lead to economic development in some countries. In this study, the effects of improving the Doing Business and other variables on FDI accumulation and export have been investigated between 2006 and2012 in G77 countries. The key factors in accumulation of FDI include: Doing Business, plenty of natural resources, Good Governance and Economic Freedom. Moreover, the determining factors in export development are as follows: Doing Business, accumulation of FDI and real foreign currencies exchange rate. The results further indicate that improvement of Doing Business and Good Governance has a positive relationship with accumulation of FDI; however, plenty of natural resources have a negative relationship with accumulation of FDI. The results of this study show that improvement of Doing Business, accumulation of FDI and real foreign currencies exchange rates have a positive relationship with the export development of selected G77 countries.
