Innovation & Prosperity Fund (IPfund) in Iran as a governmental organization aims to develop new technology-based firms (NTBF) by its available resources through financing these firms. The innovative projects, which refer to IPfund for financing, are in a stage which can receive both fixed rate (debt financing) facilities and partnership in the projects, ie, profit loss sharing (PLS). Since this fund must protect its initial and real values of its capital against inflation rate, this study, hence, aims to examine suitable financing methods considering risk. For this purpose, risk assessment models are studied concerning how to use risk-adjusted net present value for knowledge-based projects. On this basis, the NPV of a project is analyzed b

With possessing third and second positions in oil and gas respectively (EIA, 2010), Iran is considered one of the richest countries in the world. One of the most important and most valuable derivatives on gas, is ethane which is obtained with cracker processing method the valuable product, ethylene. Due to constant updated petrochemical industry, the making decision for the technology acquisition is very important. The purpose of this paper is to determine the most suitable mode of technology transfer in the frame work of AHP using the expertise of highly professional staff. According to the terms of Iran's petrochemical industry, eight strategies for the technology acquisition have been identified Included: research consortium, outsourcing
The paper intends to measure the daily Value-at-Risk (VaR) for Rial-Euro exchange rate fluctuations risk. Since in this case we deal with a single risk factor, so we will not use the Monte Carlo simulation method to measure the VaR and we will only use the parametric and historical simulation methods for this purpose. The parametric method using the normal distribution and historical simulation with exponentially weighted data and without weighting is used to calculate VaR. Finally, the obtained results are brought and compared with each other, and we draw conclusions using the obtained results.
There are many debates about public and private ownership in the economic literature. One of the most important arguments stresses on the role of ownership rather than competitive environment. On the other hand, there is the other argument that the performance of the firm and its ownership depends on the market structure. In this article, in order to understand the importance of these arguments in the context of Iranian automotive industry we advance a historical study of the causes and the nature of nationalization and privatization in the studied industry. This study stresses on the dominance role of Iranian socio-economic context to nationalize the automotive companies in the country. Also, the review of empirical studies on the privatiz
