Abstract

This research aims to investigate Technological Competitiveness of Iran comparing to countries subject to the country's 1404 outlook during a ten-year period, 2005-2014. The main question of the study is what is the situation of Iran in comparision with the regional countires? And, which countires in the regim is its main competitors? To answer these questions we used Economic Complexity approach. Our results indicated that, based on Harmonized System at the 4-digit level (HS-4), the most complex products of the country are "Zinc bars, rods, profiles and wire" and "Artificial waxes and prepared waxes", for which the country has comparative advantages and at the same time, has no competitors in the region. By classifying the regional countires based on Economic Complexity in four gorups, during the studied period, Iran is among the countires with lowest Economic Complexity. Moreover, by classfing products by their compelexity within four groups, it was observed that the majority of the county's competitive products are among the second lowest complex product groups. Our results also show that Israel has the highest complex economy and highest diversity of complex products in the region, although it is not among the main competitors of Iran. While Iran has the largest share of technology with the countries of Egypt and Turkey, these countries are the main rivals of Iran in the region.
