Many problems after the Islamic Revolution have led to the failure of privatization policies in Iran. In this paper, we have tried to determine the basic privatization strategies in Iran by SWOT method and QSPM matrix and to consider the privatization process in the country with a long-term view. To do this, we will first answer the question of what are the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of privatization in Iran in recent years. We will answer this question by examining 72 articles and reports of privatization organizations in Iran, Turkey and Russia.Then, we provided the points extracted from the study of resources to the relevant experts in the SWOT method to estimate the importance of each of the extracted points in the privatization of the country. Finally, in order to present the main strategy for more efficient implementation of privatization in Iran, we used the experience of Turkey and Russia and prioritized the strategies using the QSPM matrix and by asking experts in this field. The results indicate that the overall strategy of the country in the implementation of privatization is defensive and strategies such as " changing the government's approach from a purely political point of view to privatization and its proper implementation with a long-term view by increasing new investments," closely monitoring regulatory bodies of privatization "and "reviewing the background of those in charge of privatization " are important privatization strategies in Iran.

By the reason of increasing environmental worries and also the limits of fossil fuel sources in the world, including Iran, all the developers and developing countries are changing their technology from fossil fuel sources to renewable energy sources.This research is reviewing the relation between producing electricity from types of renewable energy sources and GDP growth rate.According to this, first, existing of short-run and long-run relation between electricity production from types of renewable energy sources and GDP growth rate has been studied with serial correlation panel model (FMOLS - Fully modified least squares) and panel error correction model (ECM).Results show that in producing electricity from renewable and non-renewable energy, capital and labor variables have a positive and meaningful effect on GDP in short-run and long-run. For example, increasing 1% of electricity production by renewable energy, can raise GDP to 0/66% in the long - run. While electricity production of non-renewable energy can raise GDP to 0/45% in the long - run.Also results in estimating each energy source show that biomass, solar, waste and wind have a positive and meaningful effect on GDP. That means increasing 1% in the amount of biomass (solar, waste, wind and Geothermal) can increase GDP in order of mentioned to 0/01%, 0/72%, 0/33%, 0/11% and 0/61%. While hydroelectric source has elasticity with 0/11 that it has a positive effect on GDP but this is not a meaningful effect.

It seems necessary to regulate prices of public utilities such as water due to market failures, regardless of ownership. Based on available theoretical and experimental literature, The latest achievement of researchers in field of public utility regulation such as water, electricity, performance-based regulation in general, and performance-based price regulation in particular. Adjusting price of urban drinking water in provinces of country based on efficiency and performance of water distribution companies, while motivating Iranian water and sewage companies to improve efficiency and productivity, will also reduce water prices for consumers as a result of competition. In the study, several different stochastic frontier methods were considered to estimate a translog cost frontier function for the sample of Iranian water distribution companies over the 2012-2017 period. The inefficiency scores obtained from different methods are not found to be robust in their levels and rankings of companies. A possible explanation for this lack of robustness can be found in different ability of stochastic frontier methods to account for unobservable heterogeneity. From methodological point of view, The empirical results show that conventional random-effects models tend to overestimate cost inefficiency since the inefficiency estimates also contain unobserved heterogeneity. The true fixed effects model proposed by Greene seems to be able to distinguish between unobserved heterogeneity and inefficiency but it may underestimate inefficiency since all time-invariant effects are treated as unobserved heterogeneity. Therefore, this model seems to contribute, at least partially, to the solution of the problem of time-invariant unobserved heterogeneity in the estimation of cost inefficiency.

One of the sections in the sanctions targeted against the Islamic Republic of Iran is interbank communications and cutting off the country's access to the Swift system. With the rise of international disagreements on the pretext of the country's nuclear issues on Saturday, March 18, 2012, the Swift system of the Central Bank of Iran was cut off in line with sanctions.Accordingly, the main purpose of this study is to identify and rank Swift alternatives in the sanctions environment in Iran. Initially, the field method (semi-structured interview) was used to identify solutions (alternatives) and criteria (characteristics of each method such as velocity of exchange, security, etc.) while reviewing the experiences of other countries. Then, to rank the identified strategies and criteria, the multi-criteria decision making method (AHP) and Expert Choice software have been used. After completing the questionnaire in the expert group, the results show that, Bilateral monetary pact and currency swap, joining to China -Russian financial system are the top priority solutions.

Iran and Venezuela are two oil-producing countries that have both been subject to unfair economic and non-economic sanctions over the past decades. Sanctions imposed on the two countries have limited their main source of foreign exchange and oil revenue, and created many problems for their economies, including inflation, recession, and the devaluation of the national currency. These tensions have created other problems. After examining the effects of sanctions on the two countries' oil industry, this article seeks to answer the question: What are Venezuela's anti-sanctions strategies to counter US oil sanctions? And in the current context of sanctions, how can manage relations between sanctions countries in the field of oil trade the oil sanctions? Also, what are the differences and similarities between the two countries' counter-sanctions strategies for the oil trade? The method of the present research is a qualitative type of document analysis that is done using library resources. The research results show that according to the current smart sanctions, in the technical field of oil swap strategies, oil blending, construction of small refineries and petroleum refineries in the sanctioned countries, construction of storage tanks inside and outside the country, domestic oil exchange and development projects The country should be used by foreign companies to benefit from oil revenues to counter sanctions.

Poverty Reduction Strategy policies in the Developing countries and Poverty alleviation Policies for Iran Poverty Reduction Strategy policies in the Developing countries and Poverty alleviation Policies for Iran AbstractOver the period 1979-2021, despite the implementation of six development plan and poverty reduction policies, allocation of more resources, poverty remains an important challenge in the Iranian economy. Therefore, like other countries, we need a coherent strategy to alleviate poverty. To this end, we examined all PRSP for the developing countries and compared PRSP policies with poverty reduction policies in Iran by an analytical-comparative method. Moreover, poverty reduction policies for low-income, low-middle-income, and high-middle-income PRSP countries were classified based on macroeconomic, governance and public expenditure management, and structural- sectoral policies for poverty. Accordingly, we suggested a pakage of poverty alleviation policies for Iran’s economy.
