        Purpose: The results of previous research have shown that the use of short-term debts can ultimately cause unfavorable financial performance of the company in the long term. Behavioral finance theories also state that in the decision-making of managers and investors, in addition to information, a series of viewpoints and psychological factors also influence their decisions. The purpose of this research is to investigate the effect of CEO narcissism on the maturity structure of debts. Methodology: Using the data of 85 companies listed in the Tehran Stock Exchange, in the period of 2018 to 2022, the hypotheses were tested using multiple regression. Findings After statistical analysis, the results of the research hypotheses indicate that CEO narcissism has a positive and significant effect on the maturity structure of debts. In this research, two indicators of managers' bonus ratio and the size of CEO signatures were used to measure CEO narcissism. Originality: The results of research hypotheses indicate that CEO narcissism has a positive and significant effect on debt maturity structure. This means that with the increase of narcissism of managers, the use of short-term debt increases. Narcissistic managers try to match the asset structure and the debt maturity structure in order to pay the debts. Hence, in the period under their management, the maturity period of the debt structure is reduced when the company can increase its profits. Manuscript profile

        Today, consumption has become one of the most important global issues. So that the position of consumption is so much that some people define the lifestyle based on it. At the end of the 20th century, consumption has become a multi-dimensional reality that, in addition to the dimensions of economic requirements, has many cultural meanings and social requirements. Consumption patterns are stable social behaviors that exist in society in relation to the consumption of all kinds of goods, food, clothing and other cultural items. Therefore, consumption and consumption patterns have become an important issue in people's daily lives and play an important role in their lived experience and direction of their actions in various fields. Therefore, according to the importance of the subject, this research deals with the sociological analysis of the comparison of consumption patterns among occupational classes in the headquarters of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Finance and the Tax Affairs Organization of the country. The type of research was based on the applied nature and based on the analytical-survey method. A questionnaire was used to collect information. The results showed that the snack meal is observed more among diploma and sub-diploma people (occupational class 1). Less than half of the respondents pay attention to nutrients in food consumption, this issue is more evident among men and those who have sufficient income. The results showed that rice has the highest presence in the daily food basket of employees. On the other hand, the consumption of fish meat is less than other items. The consumption of soft drinks among the first occupational class and the consumption of red meat among the sixth occupational class (PhD) are more pronounced. People of the sixth class, who are part of the upper economic classes, consume less grains than othefrom othesociety. Manuscript profile

The iranian corporate sector’s owenership concentration iscategorized into three groups based on percentage of ownership (i) 0%-33% (ii) 33%-66% (iii) 66%-100%.By firm size, the corporate sector is divided into large, medium, and small companies, depending on capitals.The relationship bettween ownership concentration and firms size are tested, then their relations withpatterns of financing (retained earning, debting, issuing equities) are tested. The effect of each abovevariables on sale and profitability are tested, too. The conclusions indicated, the most important source offinancing in Iranian firms is debting, with average ratio 0.6, and also stock issue with average ratio 0.3 is thesecond, and retained earning with average ratio 0.1 is the thired patterns of financing in compare with othercountries. Ownership and control of corporations in Iran are highly concentrated, ownership concentration oftop one stockholder in Iranian firms held, on average 50/1 percent of shares, is the highest in compare withother countries. Based on a Regression analysis,there is statistically significant relationship between capitaland profitability, increasing in capital led to high profitability and also reduction in depending on financingin debt and a little increase in issuing equities, in Iranian firms .On the other hand, results show a significantpositive relationship between ownership concentration and financial leverage, as measured by total debt – to-total assets ratios.These are consistent with the hypothesis that companies with more concentratedownership tend to engage in higher debt financing because their controling owners do not want to dilute theircontrol by bringing in new equity holders Manuscript profile

        The presence of noise traders with fanatical attitude in financial markets is considered as a reason for the divergence of price and risk from predicted levels, but on the other hand the absence of noise traders might cause dwindling of market volatility. Generally, those who execute their trades based on market noise have poor understanding of the validity of receiving information, nevertheless a major part of traders falls into this category. The following study evaluated fluctuation of noise trading, using EGARCH (exponential general autoregressive conditional heteroscedastic) model for the price index of the Tehran stock exchange market from 2012 to 2016. There was a meaningful relation between the noise and market return, so that an increase in noise trading resulted in market return growth and a decline in noise trading altered fluctuation to a smoother trend. Furthermore, the growth of trade value, turnover and number of trades was related to the rise in noise trading. Manuscript profile

        Over the past three decades, the Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH) has been the foundation for financial asset pricing, and the leading hypothesis in the finance literature to explain and predict the behavior of investors. There are, however, two extensions to the EMH in the behavioral finance literature that investigate investor reaction when security prices do not adjust instantaneously, the Overreaction Hypothesis (OH) of DeBondt and Thaler (1985) and the Uncertain Information Hypothesis (UIH) of Brown, Harlow and Tinic (1988, 1993). In the other side, we know that Iran international trade volume is not expanded and direct taking impression of Iran security market to global financial recessions and expansions is in doubt. Therefore, observed investors' sentiment in Iran stock market to recent global financial crisis news has resulted in doubt on efficiency of this market, regardless of long or short term return for sensitive industries to this crisis. Thus, we felt need to recognize investors' sentiment to achieve behavioral finance patterns that would be consistent to Iran stock exchange and can be utilized to behavioral modeling of securities. We determined to evaluate and express behavior of investors in Iran stock market for the period 27 April 2008 to 25 April 2010, based on two hypotheses OH and UIH. Our findings show that shareholders' return is consistent with aforesaid two hypotheses and thereupon increase in market uncertainty in some securities, as well as investors' overreaction in some industries while issuance news of arrival and/or recovery global financial crisis.

        This paper analyzes the role of default risk in the momentum effect focusing on data from Tehran stock exchange during 19/04/2009-21/07/2015. Default risk was calculated by a measure based on the Black-Scholes-Merton (BSM) option pricing model, where a firm’s default risk is derived from the market prices of its shares. This method overcomes some of the problems associated with the default risk measures used in prior studies. To describe momentum effect, by determining the formation period to be 6 months, and the holding period to be 3, 6, or 12 months, we firstly examined the profitability of short term (3/6), midterm (6/6), and long term (12/6) momentum strategies and found that during abovementioned time period, only midterm momentum strategy is profitable. Then, we showed there is no relationship between default risk and momentum effect. While the loser portfolio is characterized by high default risk, small size, high book-to-market ratio and illiquidity, characterization of the winner portfolio is somewhat more complex. This makes momentum profits difficult to forecast. Manuscript profile

        Standard asset pricing models based on rational expectations and homogeneity have problems explaining the complex and volatile nature of financial markets. The heterogeneity in expectations can lead to market instability and complicate dynamics of prices, which are driven by endogenous market forces. Our aim is to point out that the investors’ irrationality explains various numbers of financial anomalies, especially the phenomena that traditional financials models have never been able to explain. using a behavioral finance approach and an agent-based model we examine the dynamics of stock price fluctuations and their rates of return in an artificial market composed of fundamentalists and non-fundamentalists with loss-adverse bias. our goal is to point out a posibility that loss-adverse feature of investors explains vast number of financial stylized fact and plays an important role in price formation of financial markets.The results of intensive analysis indicate that the existence of agents having heterogeneous beliefs and preferences has provided a better understanding of price dynamics in the financial market.

        Introduction Growth of health expenditures, financial limitations, low efficiency and quality of service provision in public hospitals and ever-increasing expectations have obligated healthcare systems to utilize private sector’s capabilities. According to other countries’ experiences, public-private partnership (PPP) is a solution that not only reduces defects of every sectors, but also integrates both sectors’ advantages. This study was aimed to review PPP models in hospital management and propose suggestions for best model selecting in different situations. Methods: In this study, after organizing questions as well as determining search strategies, opted articles were assessed deeply; definitions as well as different PPP models’ pros and cons in hospitals management were analyzed; and finally, these models were compared according to quality-effectiveness, access, financial efficiency, and risk sharing indicators. Results: By reviewing 32 peer-reviewed articles, PPP models were categorized in service providing, financing as well as developing infrastructures, and compound levels. Based on the results, “clinical outsourcing” and “management contract” have attained high level in access and quality-effectiveness indicators and “BOO”, “DBFO”, and “clinical outsourcing” models have achieved high level in financial efficiency. Furthermore, “operating contract” and “privatization” are placed in two ends of risk sharing spectrum. Finally, “outsourcing”, “management”, and “lease” contracts are advised to improve productivity of public hospitals; and “BOO”, “BOT”, as well as “DBFO” models are advised to develop infrastructures and increase the number of hospitals beds. Conclusion: Considering hospital management challenges and health economics specifications, utilizing public-private partnership models is a vital issue to fulfill the aims of healthcare system.

        Current paper examines the effect of retrospective source of finance on the capital budgeting decisions and investigates the possibility of costly decision errors in the case of using mental accounting by managers. This experimental study has utilized a 2*2 between subjects factorial design. Independent variables that are manipulated in this paper are retrospective source of finance and prospective source of finance. The sample consists of 160 participants including executive experts and academic persons assigned to one of the four groups through random assignment. Results show that managers are less likely to part with a debt financed asset in comparison with an identical equity financed asset. The reason behind above reluctance is related to the managers’ perceptions about the asset’s past benefits. This study shows that a psychological factor may cause managers to forego investments that they should invest according to the capital budgeting techniques. In this way, the results can contribute to the accounting literature through providing valuable information for capital budgeting studies. Manuscript profile

        Human resources are considered as a competitive advantage in each and every organization in the present era. The decisions, thoughts, and performance of managers can be effective in advancing organizational goals. Nowadays, more than any other time, opinions and perspectives of managers have been considered in the organization-related theories. Therefore, identifying the personality traits of managers, including the narcissism of managers that affects their decisions, is important in different levels of the management and leadership of any organization. Managers of an organization, as much as they can be a competitive advantage for an organization, may become a serious impediment to achieving the goals of the organization and might create financial crises for an organization. This study aims at investigating the relationship between corporate narcissism and financial crises of the listed companies in Tehran Stock Exchange through using a statistical sample including 294 observations (year - firm) between the years 2017 and 2018. After statistical analysis of the data using mixed data regression analysis, the results of research hypotheses show that there is a statistically direct and significant relationship between the organizational narcissism of managers (authority, bragging, superiority, autocracy, exploitation, and narcissism) and financial crises. In other words, the higher the level of narcissism in organizations’ managers might be, the possibility of financial crises resulting from managers ' decisions and practices will be more likely to occur in that organization.

        Behavioral finance theory, which is generally interpreted as the application of psychology in financial science, has challenged the fundamental principle of neoclassical economics and tries to identify the human psychological phenomena in the whole market and at the personal level. The aim of the current research is to extract behavioral finance model of customers in development banks of Iran using multi-group modeling technique in Bank of Industry and Mine. To this purpose, the current research was conducted in two stages. In the first stage, or qualitative part, a total of 20 persons of experts were selected to identify research variables. In the second stage, or qualitative part, the statistical data in two periods of time: 2012-2014 and 2015-2017 were collected and assessed using multi-group modeling technique. The obtained results showed that bank factors and customer factors in different periods may not have significant effect on financial behaviors of customers, but intervening variable (environmental factors), highly affect the financial behavior of customers, indicating that the financial behavior of customers in Iran is more under the influence of macroeconomics and its policies. Based on the results of this study, customers pay more attention to the key factors such as economic growth rate, per capita income and interest rate in order to interact more with the development bank which is receiving and paying the facilities and credits.

        This research investigates the effect of opacity on the delay of the stock price (Tehran stock exchange and Iran Farabourse) reactions in the banks and other companies in Iran Capital Market. The proxy of opacity has been considered the spread (bid – ask gap). Hou and Moskowitz's (2005) model was used to calculate the price delay reaction. Moreover, considering the importance of economic conditions, the impact of periods of boom and stagnation (GDP) on this relationship was also investigated. The research sample consisted of banks listed in Iran Capital Market as well as companies whose market capitalization is equal to 25% of the average market value of banks. The time period was from the beginning of 2009 to the end of September 2016. The hypotheses were tested using panel data. The results indicated a significant relationship between reaction price delay and spread, which confirmed the effect of opacity on the delay price reactions. The results also showed that there is no significant difference between the stock price delay reaction of banks and other companies while there is a significant relationship between economic conditions and delay price reactions.

        The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of financial development on corporate finance as the convergence determinant. To do so, first we examine convergence between corporate capital structure of firms listed in TSE using the Philips and Sul methodology (2007). The finding shows there are four converging clubs, with a big club consisting of 67% of the firms in sample. Then, we investigate industry-specific and country-specific factors to find the reason of big club convergence. The results indicate that the industry-specific factor is not the cause of convergence. So using unbalanced panel data and the EGLS method, we test the impact of financial development on capital structure in two models. The results show that corporate capital structure is influenced by financial development and this effect does not differ in the two models. Credit market development has a negative significant relationship and stock market development has a positive significant relationship with debt ratio. Manuscript profile

        In this study, employing a qualitative approach and phenomenography method and using in-depth interviews, the way of perception of the stock exchange activists in dealing with trade rumors was investigated. In this regard, 20 experts in the field were interviewed under the positions, including managers of regional stock exchanges, executives, analysts, experts, and consultants of the stock brokerage firms using the maximum variation sampling method. The content of interviews, roundtables, notes, and comments published in newspapers and online magazines on the stock market in recent years was used, which were generally similar to the interviewees' views on the subject matter of the research. Data analysis was performed based on Diekelmann method and 8 themes and 22 main themes were extracted. Based on the research findings, it can be concluded that the role of the government in the stock market and the emotional and mass-like behavior of the investors have exacerbated the trade rumors. Furthermore, some interviewees believe that cyberspace, especially telegram, have had recently a major impact on spreading the rumors. On the other hand, although Stock Exchange activists considered the Comprehensive Database of All Listed Companies (CODAL) network information as the most real and authentic information network of the organization because it passes through the audit filter, the recent political events and skepticism about the government have changed their attitude to some extent and made them less trusting to the CODAL network information.

        Corporate managers present financial reports in order to reveal their performance and financial status of corporation and then financial analysts use financial statements as a basis of making investment suggestions. Obviously investors don’t have any role in managing companies directly and therefore they have to make their decisions trusting financial statements. In financial markets, financial analysts have to trust managers, even considering the fact that statements can be incorrect. Consequently, exploring influential factors in financial analysts’ trust to corporate managers seems necessary. As financial behavioral is a kind of newborn field of finance, it’s essential that future researches should be directed towards it and implementation of it should be checked in developing markets like Iran’s. Financial behavioral is presented against classical economic theory which is based on some simplifying hypothesizes. Main findings of this research are: 1. Qualification, honesty, competence, cultural factors and social factors are very influential in financial analysts’ trust to managers. 2. Integrity, benevolence and personal factors, have average influence in financial analysts’ trust to managers. 3. Being faithful to Islam has little influence in financial analysts’ trust to managers. On the basis of findings, it can be said that an organization which has a qualified, honest, competent, well-behaved (cultured) and sociable manager, will be trustable; that it can lead to a good atmosphere and can provide a necessary condition of efficient market.

        Leasing companies play an important role in meeting the needs of firms and households. These companies can resolve liquidity problem of their customers by providing their various products. But despite these advantages, leasing industry is relatively young and less developed in Iran. One of the major problems in the path of growth and development of leasing companies is Failure in providing reliable and stable financial resources at different periods of time. From the past, difficulties in financing leasing companies are a key issue in the industry that occupied the minds of managers. The performance of leasing industry in Iran shows that leasing industry at different periods of boom and recession has failed to show the same performance and stability. One of the key causes in the process of stable financing is existing shortcomings. Hence, it is vital to using modern methods, diversified and stable financing in leasing companies in Iran within the interest-free banking system. One of the most effective methods to finance leasing companies in Iran is securitization of assets. It can be said that balance sheet assets of leasing companies which have the ability to transform into securities include assets resulting from installment sale and lease-purchase .This study tries to design and offer asset securitization process in Iran and leasing companies within the interest-free banking and finds proper response to the problems raised in the area of financing leasing companies.

        In this article utility of investors contains utility from consumption and utility from fluctuations in their investments. To prove the effect of prior performance of investors on stock price first the utility function was defined based on Prospect theory and variables relating to prior outcomes and loss aversion were factored into utility function and then price equations were defined. In the other form, variables relating to prior performance in utility function were removed and price equations were defined. Next, the P/D ratio and logarithmic growth of stock prices were simulated in both forms and compared against real market data. By utilizing ANOVA and K-Means in the 1381-1393 period, it became clear that the mean and standard deviation in the first form are closer to real market data than those of the second form, meaning that removing variables relating to investors' prior returns from the utility function resulted in weaker estimates, the effect of prior investment performance of investors was confirmed Manuscript profile

The advocates of Behavioral finance knowledge strongly believe that awareness of psycho-cognitive" tendencies in investment realm is absolutely essential and it requires serious improvement in terms of expanding the scope of studies. However academicians and professionals who are advocates of classic financial school do not believe in examining behavioral aspects of human and its impact on financial decisions as an independent field of studies, yet both quantitative and qualitative advancement of experimental studies within this field indicates the importance of research on behaviors in financial markets. The aim of this study is to identify influential factors on individual investor's decision making and also identifying behavioral biases,through a comprehensive review of conducted studies in Iran and comparing it with the result of studies from other countries. The finding of this study shows that domestic and foreign studies have identified similar effective factors such as financial ratios, recommendations,behavioral biases and etc. Also the effect of demographic factors on investors' behavior has been not studied in Tehran stock exchange so far.   Manuscript profile

        In this project, we study stock prices using behavioral financial methods to check stock prices of 50 companies from the Stock Exchange Organization during the years 2002-2013. We also want to compare the results of this method with the results of the methods of the stock price ratio to the Markov chain. Behavioral financial-based research suggests that there are many exceptions to financial markets, and the results indicate that psychological phenomena play an important role in determining behavior in financial markets. It has been confirmed in studies that behavioral responses of investors can be considered as an important component in the market pricing process. A robust research that presents both reactive and non-reactive modes in the form of a model is Barbierz et al. In this model, investors estimate the possibility of returning to the average and the trend of prices using historical trend index and return to average, and based on that basis, they contribute to pricing, which is different from that of rational model.Markov chain is also used for stock price analysis. In this regard, the stock dividend model is used to determine the inherent value of the stock in the Markov chain. The stock price review process converts to a linear system. In addition, in the analytical method, the share price to profit (earning) ratio (P / E), is considered by analysts as a common practice in valuing stocks. The results showed that the P / E ratio was more stable with the help of different companies’ data. This ratio is used in the framework of the profit model from basic analysis.     Manuscript profile

        Financial literacy and behavioral biases (Machiavellian personality) are critical factors affecting the financial decisions and behaviors of investors. We survey 285 individual stock investors to measure their financial literacy, to examine their behavioral biases and to investigate the relationship between financial literacy and behavioral biases.

        Despite the new finance theory and efficient market assumption in capital markets, some empirical documents and market anomiles causes a new theory called behavioral finance. This theory describes the psychological process effects in financial decision makings and the way in which one would determine the financial market behavior. This approach which is the result of the Psychology and finance combination have led to more accurate and contemporary aspects of human behavior in financial markets. This research is empirical and descriptive in this paper after the introduction of the development of the behavioral finance, the entropy theory and physiological patterns of human decisions are illustrated. It is concluded that entropy theory can be implemented to understand and predetermine the investors behavior in financial markets. There are several important personal entropy factors that affect the behavioral finance: these are: Conservation principle, plan or agency, collective behavior, over confidence loss- aversion and risks taking. Hence, the financial advisors can suggest portfolios which are proportionate to investors objectives and attitudes. It is expected that behavioral models development and observed phenomena explanation would lead to market and the optional use of the information in the markets. Manuscript profile

        Investors face problems in making financial decisions. People who have no control over their emotions make irrational decisions. On the other hand, daily moods have a great impact on financial decisions. In this study, the effect of psychological variables of emotional intelligence mediated by mood on investors' decision making has been investigated. The research method is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive and survey in terms of nature. The statistical population is investors in the city of Hamedan. The data collection tool in this study is based on a questionnaire. The Baron Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire with 90 scores, the Panas Questionnaire with 20 scores were used to measure the mood variable and the Bruce and Scott Decision Making Scale with 25 scales. In order to confirm the validity of this questionnaire, in addition to confirming the face and content validity, construct validity was used. Data analysis was performed by linear regression tests. It was concluded that there is a relationship between emotional intelligence and financial decision making. One of the minor results is the lack of relationship between emotional intelligence and intuitive decision making and the negative relationship between emotional intelligence and rational decision making but emotional intelligence is directly related to three styles of dependence, instant and avoidance . But the other result is that positive mood such as enthusiastic, active, alert is not related to intuitive decision making and is positively related to rational, instantaneous and avoidant decision-making style and negatively related to dependent decision-making style.

        Introduction: "Financial therapy" and "financial coaching" are relatively new terms in the financial literature. Study and research in these two areas is increasing rapidly and all of these studies emphasize their importance.Aim: The purpose of this conceptual paper is to disentangle differences between financial coaching and financial therapy.Method: At first the experiences of financial educators identify with Review studies and finally introduce the types of competencies required (including experience, skills, knowledge and awareness) to perform the tasks assigned to them based on the knowledge gained.Results: While financial coaching and financial therapy share many techniques and approaches, financial therapy is a more inclusive practice. Financial therapy (e.g., financial therapists) has the ability to address dysfunctional money attitudes, as well as money disorders, and covers a wider time spectrum of healing a person’s past trauma and old pains. Another difference between financial coaching and financial therapy that is discussed in the paper is the arrangement of services and compensation.Conclusion: The paper does not suggest that one approach is better or right. Each approach can be appropriate for particular situations Manuscript profile

        Having access to financial resources is one of the main goals of the Islamic financial system. One of the innovations in the field of Islamic monetary and financial issues in the last decade is the issuance of various types of Islamic securities known as sukuk.Despite the phenomenal growth of the global sukuk market, academic research on sukuk is still in its infancy, particularly because researchers have not taken this financial innovation seriously. Currently, there is a growing body of Sukuk literature. Initially, the Sukuk literature was largely directed towards qualitative research. As the number of Shariah-compliant instruments increased, studies on sukuk turned to quantitative research and moved towards measuring the impact and performance of sukuk and comparing sukuk to bonds. Most of the sukuk research is mainly focused on sukuk issued in Malaysia, Indonesia and the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council countries, and unfortunately, a very small amount of this research is the contribution of Iran. Accordingly, in this article, research gaps in the field of sukuk in Iran are presented by reviewing the world literature. The conclusion that can be drawn from this study is that the main areas related to the research gaps of sukuk include legal ownership and interest in sukuk, empirical research on sukuk based on participation, fundamental research on sukuk, how to integrate sukuk and examining its effects such as hybrid sukuk, issues related to sustainable development such as green sukuk, etc. Manuscript profile

        This paper seeks to overcome the apparent contradictions between global demand for sustainability and the structure of conventional financial discourse by putting forth a strategy for diversifying academic finance. It comprises four sections. We first situate academic finance within the broader spectrum of social sciences and highlight its ontological, epistemological and methodological assumptions. Second, we show that these assumptions, taken for granted within the field of finance, are the object of much debate within other fields – as is demonstrated by controversy regarding logical positivism, social ontology and performativity –which brings out the limitations of paradigmatic unity in finance. Third, we characterize diversification in finance with reference to the nested epistemological structure of scientific discourse. We argue that diversification is a process by which (i) finance research is extended to other existing paradigms in social sciences; (ii) new research metaphors are developed within the current paradigm; and (iii) puzzle-solving robustness is achieved. Fourth, I develop a research agenda for the diversification of academic finance. This agenda is broken down into themes, paradigmatic hypotheses, and research questions. Manuscript profile

        Herding behavior is considered as one of the behavioral approaches between investors and an important element in financial markets. Sometimes, this element causes agitation in circumstances where information is spread. A crucial problem in this regard is distinguishing between artificial and thoughtful herds, because thoughtful herding may be inefficient and it may eventually result in fluctuation in markets. In this research, we examined and tested the herding behavior between investors in Tehran Security Exchange using Salmon and Huang’s model. In order to calculate the required variables of model, the moving window technique was utilized and the window size was set as 24 months. In other words, by applying the information of the last 24 months, Excel Software calculated monthly market yields as well as monthly yield of each share and the required variables. After substituting the obtained values for the variables in standardized formula HS, we calculated and analyzed the herding amounts for each months of 1382-86 interval .The findings depicted a clear herding pattern for the time interval under study and hence, confirmed the corresponding theory.

        Sanctions are coercive contrivances that are applied by a country or a group of countries against another one which transgresses the international laws or contravenes the accepted ethical standards. The aim of sanction is to force the offender to cease its actions or at least to force the country to negotiate for ending its unaccepted actions. This study has been carried out to assess the effects of economic sanctions on the function of internal factors of small and medium size industries of Lorestan Province during 2001-2012. The study was performed in terms of five hypotheses. In order to collect data, the researchers used a questionnaire, the validity and reliability of which were confirmed by related tests. The questionnaire was distributed among the statistical population (managers of the small and medium industries of Lorestan Province), and 127 acceptable questionnaires were received. The data were analyzed by spss software and by using regression method. The results assert the existence of both positive and negative effects of economic sanctions on internal factors.

        Economic and financial phenomena are highly complex and non-linear. However, surprisingly, in many cases, these phenomena are accurately described by linear models – or, sometimes, by piecewise linear ones. In this paper, we show that fuzzy techniques can explain the unexpected efficiency of linear and piecewise linear models: namely, we show that a natural fuzzy-based precisiation of imprecise (“fuzzy”) expert knowledge often leads to linear and piecewise linear models. We show this by applying invariance ideas to analyze which membership functions, which fuzzy “and”-operations (t-norms), and which fuzzy implication operations are most appropriate for applications to economics and finance. We also discuss which expert-motivated nonlinear models should be used to get a more accurate description of economic and financial phenomena: specifically, we show that a natural next step is to add cubic terms to the linear (and piece-wise linear) expressions, and, in general, to consider polynomial (and piece-wise polynomial) dependencies.

        The aim of this study is to investigate the factors affecting the probability of banking facilities default by customers and to determine the main variables coefficient related to the probability of default. Finally, using logit regression, a model has been provided to increase the ability of the bank's managers to solve the problem of non-repayment of credit facilities on time. First, 7 variables that had a significant effect on customers' credit risk were identified and fitted to the significance level of 5% of the final model using LR statistics. The results showed that the variables of the borrower's monthly income, the borrower's relationship with the guarantor, the guarantor's guaranteed capital, the borrower's experience and job stability, the loan repayment period and the years of borrower's relationship with the bank, have adverse effect on credit risk and the variable loan amount has a direct effect on credit risk.

        One of the basic criteria for making decisions in the stock market is stock returns. Stock returns alone have informational content and are used by most actual and potential investors in financial analysis and forecasting. Currently, investors can predict stock returns to some extent by creating a link between stock returns and other financial and non-financial information. Accordingly, the purpose of this research is to investigate the effect of CEO narcissism on stock returns. For this purpose, the data related to the companies accepted in the Tehran Stock Exchange for the ten-year period between 1391 and 1400 were extracted for 105 companies and the statistical software Eviews 8 was used. The current research is an applied research from the aspect of the result. After the statistical analysis, the results of the research hypotheses indicate that CEO narcissism has a positive and significant effect on stock returns. This shows that the behavior of narcissistic managers leads to providing favorable statements to owners and shareholders in order to increase rewards and also gain more satisfaction.

        Decentralized finance (DeFi) has been raised in recent years and has experienced significant growth in 2021. DeFi seeks to eliminate intermediaries by using blockchain and to provide all the services in a decentralized manner. DeFi has been able to implement many services of the traditional financial system on the blockchain platform . Also, the financing methods of various industries projects on the blockchain platform before 2021 were mainly Initial Coin Offering (ICO) and Initial Exchange Offering (IEO), but Defi used Initial Decentralized exchange Offering (IDO) by using decentralized exchange that it has added to the methods of financing through blockchain. In the present study, we first consider theoretical basis of DeFi,. Then, to answer the question of which DeFi-related projects and projects in other industries that use the IDO method can be financed through blockchain, use Python language and the pycaret library to apply different classification models. We collected 665 projects data in the ten most widely used blockchain industries listed on the CryptoRank site from 2017 to 2021. The results of the model prediction indicate that DeFi industry projects and projects of other industries that use the IDO method have the ability to finance small-scale financing through blockchain.

In this study demonstrates that herding is affected by four features specific to the stocks, such as their size, systematic risk, idiosyncratic risk, and P/E. Size, systematic risk and idiosyncratic risk tend to positively affect herding but this effect is significantly higher for size. This context also reveals that P/E influences herding negatively. In general most of the results are consistent with the theory that herding is information based, and also when market conditions are favorable. Manuscript profile

        Several studies have examined the relationship between investor's mood and economic conditions . This paper examines the effect of investor sentiment on expected return on capital by considering changes in Lucas's model, considering equity and equity market prices in the context of pricing models and in the context of minor changes. How the slight changes in the mood factors (time preference and risk aversion affect stock prices) are determined and calculated. The results show that: a) The expected rate of return on stocks is inversely related to the investor's mood state; b) When the investor has a good mood state, the effect of the mood state on the expected return on capital increases; c ) The variables of the mood state of affairs are more influential on the investment markets than on the securities market; d) The investor's mood state is an essential factor in the stock return; e) Integrating the investor's mood state with asset pricing patterns can help interpret existing evidence of growing maladies related to investor behavior.

        Corporate financing has always been one of the main concerns of managers and in this area, choosing the optimal financing tool is vital. This study has determined the optimal financing tools for companies by emphasizing the matching of supply and demand side conditions in different stages of the company's life cycle using Delphi and DEMATEL techniques plus ANP and AHP processes. The results show that there are a total of 28 tools for financing companies and 6 indicators for selecting the appropriate financing tools. Also based on matching: "expected return (justifiability)", "risk level" and "time horizon" are given priority, respectively. In addition, among the various financing instruments, in the "start-up" phase, business angels, crowdfunding, and direct government assistance take precedence. In the "early stage" stage, after the tools of the previous stage, venture capital and short-term banking resources take precedence. In the "development" phase, after the tools of the previous stages, short-term banking facilities, asset-based financing, hybrid instruments (excluding mezzanine) and the stock market of start-ups are preferred. Finally, in the "stabilization" stage, after the tools of the previous stages, long-term banking facilities, mezzanine, bond-based methods and initial public offering of shares take precedence.

        The Financial market analysis is an important issue that influences investors' decisions. This paper developed the stock pricing model by comparing the predicted stock price based on the anchoring and adjustment theory and the real stock price through collecting and analyzing the initial information and data of 122 companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange during the period 2011 to 2019. The results of this study show the effectiveness of the anchoring and adjustment theory based on the separation of stock return components and measuring the irrationality coefficient and emotional reactions of investors' decisions in stock prices. Accordingly, the limitations of investors 'ability to process information seem to affect the level of use of reasoning and rationality in decision-making and the effect of bounded rationality through the irrationality and limited attention on stock pricing. Therefore, it is expected that knowledge about the process of bounded rationality based on the rational bounded of investors and the behavioral biases resulting from the irrational part of their thinking, will provide a good explanation for the process of changes in financial markets. This can provide both profit opportunities and costs in investment management so that it can be used in modeling, analysis and investmentstrategies. Manuscript profile

        The purpose of this research is expanding the ground drivers of financial physics for the neurofinance effectiveness in the logic of financial decision makers. The implementation process of this study was mixed in terms of data collection. So, in the qualitative part, through a systematic screening, the background drivers of neurofinance in financial decisions were identified, and then, based on the pre-test and post-test plan, the difference between the approaches of financial analysts was determined through variance analysis. The results of the study showed that the experimental group, which was influenced by the skill evaluation of the identified drivers, has a higher coefficient than the control group in both decision-making scenarios of the analysts. It was also found that the experimental group, which was influenced by the DOPS skill evaluation based on the identified background drivers, has a higher favorability in the fair value fluctuation decision scenario than the conservative decision scenario. While the average of the control group is exactly the opposite of the experimental group. Manuscript profile

        According to prospect theory, investors use reference points for their trading decisions; so that if stock price is below their reference points, they are unwilling to sell their stocks and therefore stock volume declines, but when the stock price exceeds their reference points, they are more likely to sell their stocks and accordingly stock volume increases. The identified reference points in previous researches are: purchase price, stock price in firm-specific events, IPO price and stock’s 52 weeks highs and lows. In this research, stocks’s major historical highs and lows, without any time limits, are directly identified from price charts and are studied as reference points and to do so, the relation beween volume and these points is examined. The research Methodology is event study and by using panel data technique, the sample includes 52606 firm-week observations. Results of the research represents that when stock price reaches or exceeds major historical highs and lows, stock volume increases and therefore we can conclude that these levels are decision-making reference points for investors in Tehran stock exchange.

        Finding the most optimize way to make a portfolio “ feasible “ has been ,and always will be a challenge and concern for those active in investment management industry. For several decades, Markowitz's (1952) Mean Variance Theory (MVT) has been considered as the cornerstone of modern portfolio theory. The Behavioral Portfolio Theory (BPT) developed by Shefrin and Statman (2000) is often set against Markowitz's (1952) Mean Variance Theory (MVT). In this paper, we compare the asset allocations generated by BPT and MVT without restrictions. Using Tehran Securities Exchange stock prices from the TSE database for the 2012– 2017 period, A sample of 247 companies are listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange data for a period of 5 years was used for statistical analysis . stock prices contained in the TSE database to generate a possible asset allocations via bootstrap simulation.this paper is the study that empirically determines the BPT optimal portfolio.We show that Shefrin and Statman's (2000) optimal portfolio is Mean Variance (MV) efficient inmore than 70% of cases.

The statistical population of this research is the companies accepted in the Tehran Stock Exchange and its statistical sample includes the data of 113 companies. The sampling method was systematic elimination. The method used to estimate the model is the multivariate regression method using the combined data method. The research results show that noise trading has a positive and significant effect on the level of stock pricing error. Also, the pricing error is different at different levels of noise trading; That is, the more the noise, the more the pricing error. This is despite the fact that in addition to the fluctuations of noise transactions, the B/M ratio also affects it. In other words, the pricing error is different at different levels of B/M ratio. As a result, according to the results of the research, the entry of uninformed traders in the stock market creates noise and causes the deviation of the stock price. Manuscript profile

        Given the complexities of the economy and considering the influential role of financial markets on the economy, as well as the importance of the economy for the country and society, methods and tools that can effectively and efficiently assess, predict, control, and guide the market and economy in a manner accessible to policymakers such as the Ministry of Economy and Finance, Securities and Exchange Organization, Central Bank, High Council of Stock Exchange, or Ministry of Industry, will be in a special position. This effectiveness and efficiency are achieved when attention to hidden layers of system relationships such as collective human behavior, which adds to the complexity of the market and economy, is not overlooked. In the present study, by employing the capacities of agent-based simulation in a mixed-method research, human behavior is combined using quantitative and qualitative methods and simulation technology as the third method of scientific research, in addition to comparative and inductive approaches. The research is descriptive and applied, and agent-to-agent simulations of real market players in NetLogo software with modeling the market, validation using Rust and Rand tests, and sensitivity analysis using the Borgonovo approach have been conducted. The results of the study indicate a direct relationship between investors' risk tolerance and stock market returns and the overall stock market index growth. With the prediction made in the designed model, in addition to risk type, the possibility of assessing and monitoring other behavioral characteristics of investors, as well as with consideration of the definition of other factors for other active market players, the study of their behavior's impact on the overall index and other important indicators is also available. Therefore, in this study, for the first time, the influence of the behaviors of macroeconomic variables on the behavior of all players present in the stock market was modeled and simulated using agent-based simulation capacities.
