In this research by reviewing literature and surveying financial and investment professionals determinants of pricing and control premium are find out and then by using multivariate regression significant factors are determined and at the end the estimated block prices are compared with the real price of blocks. Results show that significant factors in pricing controlling stock blocks and determining control premium are block size, firm size, leverage, profitability and previous performance, previous ownership of buyer and deadline to pay cash payment.

So far different models have been proposed for prediction of customers’ credit risk. However, use of a model which without relying on historical data employs market data as a warning about the customer’s current state and even about the expectations regarding the customer’s future state seems necessary. In this research, the relationship between components of capital structure and probability on default of the listed companies on Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE) has been investigated. Research data were extracted from a sample consisted of 40 joint-stock companies receiving facilities from Iranian banks for the period 2004-2010. First, using KMV model the firms default probability was calculated. Next, using Panel Data method a regression was performed to examine the relationship between capital structure components as the independent variable (firm size, B/M, leverage, fluctuation of return on asset, share return, and sensitivity coefficient) and probability of default as the dependent variable and then regression tests were conducted. Research results indicate a significant relationship between capital structure and probability on firms default.

When past observations have a high correlation with future and it cannot be ignored, studied time series has long memory. Examining of existing of long memory in time series has a lot of application in finance and lots of ways have been created to examine it but they have lots of mistakes. Bootstrap Approach has been used in this paper for give us a good proxy of sampling distribution in order to estimate of memory parameters. This approach has less limitation than others and can deal with most of difficult problem. In this research we use the data of price index of Tehran Stock Exchange for duration of December of 2006 till June of 2010 for estimating parameter of long memory, finally the results show the estimation of parameter of long memory has improved.

Researches about the relation between Return and EPS since 30 years ago, mention that Return is affected by Earning and information related to it.Several researches have studied the relationship between return (as dependent variable) and earning (as independent variable), using regression model. Some researchers have reported a distinct coefficient in regression analysis when they studied the effect of unexpected annual earning as independent variable on abnormal return as related variable. In this research, the effect of DPS on return is considered and measured, in high and low return companies in Tehran Stock Exchange, in 2006 & 2010.Our evaluations through 5 hypothesis showed that the market didn't have any over or under reaction versus good or bad news.In the other hand, market reaction was not emotional. The results of this research detected a considerable difference between ERCs in high-return and low-return companies. But they didn't approve any significant relationship between news and market reaction, except for relationship between bad news and market reaction just in low return companies. It means that the market under reacted only versus bad news related to low-return companies.

The objective of this study is to investigate the influence of the oil shocks caused by crude oil supply and demand on stock returns of Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE). For this purpose, a Structural Vector Autoregressive model (SVAR) has been estimated based on the monthly data (1991 to 2010) including world crude oil supply, world demand for industrial products, and real price of the crude oil and real stock returns in TSE variables. Fluctuations of the real price of the crude oil are attributed to three structural shocks: World crude oil supply shocks, world crude oil demand shocks and world industrial products demand shocks. Furthermore, effects of these shocks on the real stock returns of TSE have been studied in this study. The results show that the oil supply shock has no significant impact on the stock returns, but the global demand shock and the oil specific demand shock have a significantly positive impact on the Stock Returns of Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE).
