One of the most important issues in international marketing is the selection of export target markets, which is the first step in the process of internationalization of companies. In this study, the factors influencing the selection of export target markets of Iranian electricity industry in Persian Gulf countries were investigated. The influencing factors were studied and categorized into six dimensions, including political, market potential, economic, cultural, infrastructural, and legal factors. The views of experts, electricity industry professionals, and senior executives and representatives of Iran's foreign electricity exporters in the Gulf countries were examined. The statistical population of this research consists of 86 executives of the exporters of products of the electrical industry in Iran. In this research, the standard questionnaire for assessing the model of international markets by Wood and Robertson (2000) with 59 items was used. The questionnaire has content validity and reliability with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.819. The Friedman test was used to prioritize the effective factors and indicators (questions). To examine the role of demographic variables, independent t-test and analysis of variance (ANOVA) were performed using SPSS software. The average index was used to analyze the data. The results obtained show that among the dimensions studied, the variable of market potential is the most important dimension in the selection of target markets. After that, in order of importance, legal and legislative, economic, political and infrastructural aspects are the most effective aspects, and finally, culture was found to be an unimportant dimension in selecting export target markets of Iranian electricity industry in Persian Gulf countries.

The present study, by reviewing some of the views regarding the reduction of the role of ports in economic growth and development over time, has tried to evaluate the effect of ports on economic growth in a group of 122 countries between 2004 and 2021. To achieve the goal in this research, the causality analysis of Dumitrescu and Hurlin was used in Unbalanced panel data and unit specific lag order, as well as a set of panel regression estimates. In this research, the liner shipping connectivity index has been used as the port performance index. The results of the causality analysis show that the bidirectional causal relationship between port performance and economic growth cannot be rejected. Also, the results of various regressions estimates of economic growth show that the performance of ports has a remarkable and significant effect on the economic growth of countries. . . . . . .

The aim of this article is to examine household’s behavior in the area of see food consumption. For this reason, data for 38900 Iranian urban and rural households in 2012-2013, which provided by Iran bureau of statistic (IBS) is used to estimate the demand and analyze consumer behavior for fish, shrimp and other sea food items in Iran. Data revealed that many households were not potentially see food consumer and reported zero consumption. Missed data and zero consumption is considered as a character of household level data. Hence, Tobit and Heckman two step procedure is used as two alternatives to deal with zero data as an appropriate estimation procedure. based on findings, Heckman two step procedure has more explanatory power than tobit. Also, Economic factor such as Family Income, Demographic ones, such as Household head education, household size and average age of family, and geographic factors will affect see food consumption.

This research investigates the dynamics of excess return on vessels trip charter and time charter in travel leases and rental of the specified route in bulk dry market. Initially, using a weekly dataset between January 2003 and January 2016, a long-term co-integration relationship between temporary travel contracts and maritime-specific contracts was evaluated in the ship's temporary lease equations. Then, a new method was developed based on technical analysis to identify surplus return signals and the formation of a business strategy. Accordingly, our focus was on short-term deviations and we developed a leasing strategy for technical analysis. In particular, we designed the MMTM method and formed a rental strategy. Finally, we tested our strategy for a simple weekly entry into a specific lease. The results show that our method performs better than the benchmark strategy and reveals that a proper utilization of market price deviations will result in significant surplus returns.

This study aims to investigate the effect of port performance on employment in the provinces of Iran. To do this, statistical data for period 2005 to 2013 in 30 provinces (seven coastal provinces and 23 inland provinces) is used. In this study, two different methods have been used to achieve the goal. First, by mean equality statistical test it is shown that the unemployment rate in coastal provinces is slightly lower than unemployment rates in the inland provinces. In the second method, we use a panel data regression analysis and also use two estimation methods consist of least squares methods (fixed effects model) and generalized method of moments (GMM). Results of regression analysis show that non-oil performance of ports had significant and positive effect on employment in coastal provinces, but this effect is low and negligible. Other results show that interest rate, wage, prices level and output had positive effects on coastal provinces’ employment but oil performance of ports had not any significant effect on employment.

This research investigates the main factors for the possibility of converting Shahid Rajaee port to a free trade-industrial port. In the first stage of this research, the main factors influencing the formation of a free trade-industrial port have been recognized with the help of primary and secondary data in five distinctive groups. In the second stage, those main factors have been evaluated by the aid of questionnaires which had been distributed among 338 experts of Bandar Abbas city, Shahid Rajaee port and Shahid Bahonar port. 254 of the distributed questionnaires (75% of the total volume of the sample of the research) have been returned. As far as the statistical analyses are concerned to determine the research results, software packages such as SPSS and LISREL have been used. After investigating the various objectives of the ports of the world, the main possible reasons for the failure of free zones of Iran have been presented in the research. Furthermore, Various cases have been analyzed and studied. Finally, it has been found that Shahid Rajaee port is a place with very sufficient potential in order to be converted into a free trade-industrial port.

In the mean time the performance of transit could be increased through identifying the barriares and effective elemnts of transit cargo attracting.It is the the purpose of the present paper to identify and select the most effective indicies in transit industry at ports. To do this, all of the possible factors and bottlenecks in a transit process are uncovered through library research, interviews and Delfi technics. Then they are categorised based on the three models of fish bone model, type of indices as well as quantity and qualities of indecies. In order to find out wheather each associated factors has an affect on the transit process or not, the binominal test is applied. To do this, a five point likert scale quationer form consist of 27 items was distributed among 16 transit experts. Analysis is done through SPSS softwere. The result indicates that factors such as advertising in shipping line attracting, 24 hourse a day, seven days a week services and having cargo-handling geras with high capacity are observed as non effective factors in transit industry while economic/ prices stability and effective multy modal connectivity at ports (road, railway , aviation..) are considered as effective factors in transit industry. Finnaly, along with the investigation of transit issues at north port of Iran, some identified indices such as port time, vessel throughput and berth throughput are scrutnized at Anzali port as a case study.

This applied research has been conducted to evaluate the competitiveness of port services using exploratory factor analysis and importance- performance analysis methods. First, by literature review, 53 indicators of competitiveness of port services has been identified, then exploratory factor analysis was used to ensure the effectiveness of the identified indicators. Based on the obtained results from 53 identified indicators, in the factor analysis, only 27 of indicator have loadings on the eight factors of Logistics Cost, Connectivity, Port facility, Port Service and Availability, Safety and security, Efficiency and Productivity, Reliability, Hinterland condition. The results of the importance and performance analysis showed that among of eight factors, respectively efficiency and productivity factor has the highest and Hinterland condition has the lowest the difference between the performance average from importance average. And also the Position of each factor in the quarters of the importance and performance matrix indicates that other than the second factor (Connectivity) and fifth factor (Safety and Security) all other factors located in a quarter one.
