Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to investigate and identify the status of provinces in terms of knowledge-based economic indicators that can help to identify, evaluate, and improve the situation of these provinces. The paper tries to answer the question of how is the status of knowledge-based economy among provinces of the country? For this purpose, 20 knowledge-based economic indicators in the form of 5 components have been used to investigate the current situation. First, the indicators were weighted by Shannon's entropy method, and then the provinces were divided into five components: Information and Communication Technology (ICT) infrastructure; education and human resources, institutional and economical regimes, research and development, and performance, as well as a set of all these components, were ranked by using the TOPSIS model. The results demonstrate that Tehran province is in the first place by a wide margin followed by Isfahan, Qom, and Alborz provinces in the second to fourth. In contrast, three provinces of Sistan and Baluchestan, North Khorasan, Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad are at the bottom of this Ranking. According to the results obtained in calculating Knowledge-Based Economics factors and indicators, it seems necessary to pay particular attention to provincial planners and decision-making and private sector managers in promoting knowledge-based economy and reducing inequality and spatial imbalances.
