The main purpose of this study is to analyze the strategy of synthesizing the fundamental financial and non-financial variables in order to present a pattern for ranking companies in Tehran Stock Exchange, and eventually classifying them as winner and loser.To confirm the offered ranking and to demonstrate how the companies were differentiated, the researcher tries to determine whether there are any significant differences in the studies financial and non-financial variables between the winner and loser companies. The hypotheses offered are based on two main axes. First, the variables under study for the winner companies are much stronger than those of the loser companies. Second, winner companies enjoy a higher actual return average of 16.3 percent. Besides, their actual return is 17.4 percent higher than that of the market.This research study was conducted in a five-year period, from 1382 through 1386, using the method of average comparison and ranking comparison of a variable in two independent societies (t-Student and U-Mann Whitney tests).The findings of the study revealed that winner companies possess a more favorable cash status, financial leverage, profitability, and non-financial indexes (indicators). Moreover, it was concluded that activity and market’s value indexes (indicators) were not significantly different between the two groups of companies.

During the recent two decades, the academic studies quickly developed in the financial scope entitled with the market microstructure. The initial studies are started from the study of Bid-Ask Spread phenomenon and how quote was formed in the scope of market microstructure. The studies of the market microstructure are very important in order to the presentation of approaches for helping to the investors in the investment strategy design and the practitioners and the policymakers of stock market in editing rules and transaction mechanisms. In this research the effects of microstructure on the stock price was examined from 2008 to 2011. For this purpose, the number of 43 companies as a sample was selected from Tehran Stock Exchange. In this research, we were used Panel Data for evaluation of theories because the combined studies data is from the sectional and time series data. The results indicate that during the research time, the small elements of market microstructure (Size, duration and Bid-Ask Spread) are more effective on the stock price. This element of size in addition to the effect on the middle of quotes also is effective on Bid-Ask Spread.

this study investigates stock selection ability between institutional and individual investors. Methodology in this study is based on the intuitive idea that if institutional investors are better at selecting stocks than individual investors, then institutional investors are more likely to buy future winners and sell future losers. while controlling for other factors, such as size and momentum effects, the institutional and individual investor daily trading were regressed on future stock performance. The result of the study dose not show any apparent difference in stock selection ability between individuals and institutional investors. Coefficient of independent variable with dependent variable has positive and negative relation but none of them are significant. Thus first Hypothesis as Changes in institutional investor ownership are related with subsequent abnormal returns is rejected. Second Hypothesis Changes in individual investor ownership are negatively correlated with subsequent abnormal returns is rejected too.

It seems that it is related to investors' attitudes about the importance and credit of bad news earning forecast.

The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) has dominated finance theory for over thirty years. Capital Asset Pricing Model is an equilibrium model that explains why rates of return expected on stock is different; it suggests that the market beta alone is sufficient to explain stock returns. However evidence shows that the cross-section of stock returns cannot be described solely by the one-factor CAPM. Therefore, the idea is to add other factors in order to complete the beta in explaining the price movements in the stock exchange. The main contribution of this research is comparison between the CAPM, the Fama and French asset pricing model (TPFM) and the Four Factor Pricing Model (FFPM) adding the third and fourth moments to explain stock returns changes Tehran Stock Exchange listed firms. Research statistical Society is Companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange from 1386 until 1389, a period of 4 years. The sample consisted of 33 companies among the top 100 companies in Tehran Stock Exchange member firms. In present research survey Addition of skewness and kurtosis on the proxy asset pricing model four factors have a greater ability than other asset pricing models in explaining variations in stock returns are expected on top 100 companies in Tehran Stock Exchange member firms period 2007-2011.The selection of the best model is based on the highest coefficient of determination. The kurtosis-FFPM turned out to be the best model.

Banking industry in the world and especially in Iran are among those competitive organizations that active based on parallel production systems. So, production planning for the next period of activity is so sensitive, and important. To achieve these end, Decisions should forecastes short and long financial plans for next period. In many real word problems, there is production systems which are composed a finite number of production stations arranged in parallel. The problem of production planning and resource allocation in such systems is an important subject in DEA context. In this paper, the problem of resource allocation and production planning in parallel production systems has been studied. An aggregated DEA model is used to the production planning problem. An empirical example is used to illustrate the applicability to the proposed approach.

Financial health is defined as capability of making profit and the continuation of industrial entity activity. This research aims at the determination and recognition of financial components and features affecting health and presentation of a model based on Multinomial logistic Regression (MLR) approach to assess and evaluate financial health in Iran.companies in this research have been divided into three groups as to their financial health state called; healthy, intermediate and distressed. In order to test the accuracy of prediction and trath-value of the extracted model, the selected companies at every level of health were divided as symmetrical pairs in to control and experimental groups. Using Excel software 15 financial ratios were calculated in 5 states of liquidity, leverage, activity, market value and Value creation.SPSS (17) was used to test hypotheses, (ANOVA) and Kruskal-Wallis statistical variance analysis to compare the average and SD of ratios at 5% level of error. Research findings show that there is significant statistical differences among these companies according to different levels of financial health based on leverage, activity and market value ratios. But the liquidity and Value creation state difference of these three levels is significant and the components affecting financial health are as quick, current, debt, the proportion of net working capital to total assets ratios, EVA and MVA. Based on Dunnett and Tukey tests the distressed companies are the factors yielding the difference. i.e. distressed companies are statistically on one side and intermediate and healthy ones on the other side of distribution. As a resalt two models were presented, one for distressed companies and another one for intermediate and healthy ones.The test of model prediction accuracy in the experimental group at three levels of distressed, intermediate, healthy and total are subsequently 70%, 92%, 100%, 88.88% and shows 66%, 79.16%, 77.7% and 76.92% of prediction accuracy and classification in the control group.
