Foreign direct investment (FDI) is one of the major factors affecting the economic growth and development of a country. Iran's economic condition not only steers liquidity towards non-productive activities but also doesn't have sufficient domestic capital for economic growth and propensity. Thus, absorption of the foreign financial funds seems to be a useful and effective way to compensate for this shortcoming. Therefore, in this paper, we discuss on the importance of the variables affecting the FDI absorption in Iran during the period 1981-2016 using fuzzy regression with emphasis on the role of income tax. The results of the research show that income tax has a small effect on Iran's FDI absorption with a negative and negligible fuzzy coefficient. Further, income tax is not considered as the main determinant factor in attracting foreign investment in Iran. Also, economic factors such as GDP, commercial openness, human capital and population have a positive effect and inflation and exchange rates have a negative effect on FDI inflows in Iran.

One of the main goals of developing countries is abating of stable and enduring economic growth. Therefore, recognition of effective factors on economic growth is very important. Due to special significance of effective factors on non-oil exports in trade policy making, in this study the influence of different Variables such as efficacy of export insurance subsidy on non-oil exports has been studied. Because of the high power models to predict the behavior of economic systems based on fuzzy regression, fuzzy regression is used to examine the relationship between non-oil exports with export insurance subsidy and other variables in the period 1995 to 2015.The results obtained from this study show that short term and long-term export insurance subsidy have positive effect on non-oil exports of the country. According to these results and main foresighted objectives defined in future economic development document, which include reduction of dependency to oil export revenues, in order to increase non-oil exports it is suggested to use export insurance subsidy.
