Strategic Gravitation Model of Iran Export Potential in Integration D-8

Abstract

One of the convergence of the D-8 group cohesion is the aim of this study was to identify the effective strategic benchmarking of potential export of Iran in it. Research-based document database from the World Bank, IMF, WTO and UNCTAD is the basis of ex-post econometric investigation is based on the theory of gravity; it will be objective and desired states. The pattern of merchandise exports potential strategic fit of the gravity model has been used. The results indicate a significant association between the degree of openness of the economy, GDP, imports, population size, range overlap, Human Development Index, the share of labor in industry, membership in WOT and per capita production rate of export potential is. And no effect of FDI, the share of the GDP, the cost of public education and the gap between D-8 group of countries in this convergence is.
