Abstract

In this article growth resources for Iran will be assessed for the period of 1959 – 2010 in format of two models. In the first model in addition of labor and capital from export, government expenditure and terms of trade in the production process will be used as effective inputs. Inserting export was because of offering improvement of production technique training of skilled labor and work wild improvement was because of open economy and also inserting government spending and also terms of trade was because of dependence of government budget to oil and open economy of country. In the second model, economy will be divided to, two sectors of export and non – export that each of these sectors has a separate production function. In this model growth not only occurs because of labor and capital in export sector but also reallocation of resources from non – export sector to export sector will be effective in growth. In both models there is a positive and significant relation between export and economic growth. In both models Bruesch-Godfrey statistic indicates to the lack of serial correlation between residual terms also Bruesch-Pagan-Godfrey statistic indicates to lack of infinite consistency residual term variance.
