This study investigates the impact of technological factors on the exports of creative industries in the United States, the United Kingdom, Iran, Japan, Australia, and South Korea over the period 2004–2020. Using panel data for these leading countries and applying stationarity tests, a fixed-effects panel regression model was employed to analyze the relationships between patent applications, high-technology exports, research and development (R&D) expenditures, and creative industries exports. The findings reveal that patent applications exert the most significant and positive effect on creative industries exports. In addition, high-technology exports and R&D expenditures considerably enhance the exports of these industries. Diagnostic tests confirmed the validity of the results, and the model was statistically robust and explanatory. Considering Iran’s specific position among the countries studied, the potential capacities of technology and innovation in Iran—despite structural barriers and economic constraints—indicate opportunities for the growth of creative industries exports. This study highlights the importance of targeted investment and supportive policies for fostering innovation and advanced technologies in Iran and may serve as a guide for policymakers in designing sustainable and innovative export strategies

Existence of natural resources can increase corruption through rent-seeking behaviors if there is no strong institutional framework. In the present study, the role of institutional quality in the impact of natural resource rents on the financial development of Iran in the period 1984-2019 has been investigated. For this purpose, first to extract the indicators of institutional quality and financial development from the model of principal component analysis and then from the Markov switching model to investigate the effect of natural resource rents on financial development in the country in two cases with and without considering Institutional quality index has been used. Increasing the rent of natural resources has had a negative and significant impact on financial development in low regime of the financial development. Economic growth and trade openness have also had a positive and significant impact on all levels and regimes of financial development. Increasing the rent of natural resources in terms of improving the institutional quality index has had a positive and significant effect on financial development in a low regime. Increasing the inflation has had a negative and significant effect on financial development in all regimes of financial development. It shows that improving the quality of institutions in the country is not able to eliminate the Dutch disease and the curse of resources completely, and this issue with the non-significant impact of natural resource rents in terms of improving the institutional quality index in the high regime of financial development in the country is visible.

The widespread consumption of non-renewable energy, along with the widespread increase in economic activity over the past few decades, has had broad environmental implications. These consequences include rising global temperatures, climate change, rising sea levels, and ultimately escalating international disputes. In recent years, some countries have begun extensive efforts to make more use of renewable energy potentials. These efforts have been in line with the greater benefits of using these energies as well as observing international agreements to reduce global temperatures. Indeed, in recent decades sustainable economic growth has become an important goal for most of the world's economies. To this end is necessary to stabilize or reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This necessitates the transition from polluting energy-based economic activities to less environmentally-friendly, technology-based and consumer-friendly economic activities. CO2 was selected by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) in selected countries using a static, dynamic, and long-term coefficient of combined data over the period 1990–2016. The results of this study showed that technical innovations and non-renewable energies had a positive effect on CO2 emissions, but the effect of renewable energies on CO2 emissions was negative and significant. Also, the effect of economic growth on CO2 emission is Positive and significant.
