The aim of this article is to examine the relationship between economic growth, international trade and marine freight transportation. For this reason, annual data for marine transport and economic growth determinants is used, during the period of 1978 to 2017 with the application of Auto Regressive Distributed Lag model to control the dynamics structure of the system in both of growth and marine transportation models. Results indicate an investment in marine transportation sector cause economic growth and also, marine transportation has a significant effect on International trade. Based on the results, its proposed to increase marine transport facilities in order to improve trade balance.

The purpose of this present study was to identify the factors affecting the development of the maritime tourism industry in line with the economic growth of the ports of Khorramshahr and Abadan and its effect on attracting tourists in the Arvand Free Zone. On the other hand, citing the research objective, ranking the factors affecting the development of the maritime tourism industry will increase the income of the ports and maritime organizations of Abadan and Khorramshahr, Arvand Free Zone, as well as creating job opportunities in Khuzestan Province. The method of this research is applied in terms of its purpose and in terms of descriptive-survey nature which is conducted by interviewing, observing, studying, and ... with a deductive approach to identify influential factors. On the other hand, in the quantitative part of the research, the analysis has been carried out. Data were analyzed by using SPSS and LISREL software based on the T-test and structural equations model. Based on the results, natural variables of other variables were more effective than those with a T-statistic of 14.84 and an impact factor, of 0.85, which is a significant amount. This value is considered strong in terms of the severity of the effect since it is more than 70%. On the other hand, the variable of political factors, with the value of t statistic, is 9.71, the coefficient of influence is 0.59, and the effect of average intensity has the least effect on attracting tourists to the Arvand Free Zone.

Energy is the driving force behind all human activities. The scope of these activities is from day to day activities to macroeconomic activities in each country. Today, the world is moving towards lowering energy consumption and increasing the efficiency of using existing energy, and the issue of energy substitution in different contexts in scientific communities is under consideration. Energy is a major factor in the development of every country that needs more effort to achieve sustainable development. The transportation sector plays a key role in achieving development. Therefore, it is important to study the effective factors in this sector as the second largest energy consumer in Iran and in the world. In this study, a transport function model for the transportation industry in Iran is established and the factors of production include capital, energy and labor. The production stretch and substitution of each of the factors of production have been calculated and analyzed, respectively. The results show that during the period of 1362 to 1391, there is a relatively good substitution between energy and capital in the transportation sector in Iran. This means that, through greater allocation of capital in the transportation industry, energy-saving technology can be continuously upgraded and a succession of capital and energy can be realized. Also, the effect of substitution of capital and energy on the reduction of pollutants from fuel consumption in the transportation sector was investigated.

The aim of this article is to examine household’s behavior in the area of see food consumption. For this reason, data for 38900 Iranian urban and rural households in 2012-2013, which provided by Iran bureau of statistic (IBS) is used to estimate the demand and analyze consumer behavior for fish, shrimp and other sea food items in Iran. Data revealed that many households were not potentially see food consumer and reported zero consumption. Missed data and zero consumption is considered as a character of household level data. Hence, Tobit and Heckman two step procedure is used as two alternatives to deal with zero data as an appropriate estimation procedure. based on findings, Heckman two step procedure has more explanatory power than tobit. Also, Economic factor such as Family Income, Demographic ones, such as Household head education, household size and average age of family, and geographic factors will affect see food consumption.

The purpose of this study was to investigate and rank the factors affecting the development of maritime travel and tourism in the Persian Gulf terminus of Khorramshahr port. In previous studies, despite investigating other types of tourism, there has been no study on maritime tourism and in particular on maritime travel and tourism at the Persian Gulf terminus of Khorramshahr port. Despite the realization of the research goal, while increasing the revenue of the Khuzestan ports and maritime organization, it will boost job opportunities in the region, otherwise the potential loss of the region will result in the loss of capital in the maritime sector. The method of this research is based on the nature of exploratory blend (qualitative-quantitative approach), which focuses on qualitative research. The quantitative part of this research is related to the analytical method based on Analytic hierarchy process (AHP). In addition, SPSS22 and Expert choice11 software were used for this purpose. Based on the results, the infrastructure dimension with the final weight of 0.528 first rank and the service, economic and cultural services with the final weight of 0.243, 0.142 and 0.086 respectively ranked second, third and fourth. Among the components, the construction of residential and recreational facilities, the provision of patrols and sea tours, banking facilities for the private sector and media advertising, respectively, with the final weight of 0.431, 0.432, 0.488 and 0.559, were among the components of each dimension as the first rank.
