Abstract

The main goal of this study is to examine the pathology of national economy from the perspective of resistance economy in three fields of export and import diversification and smuggling. The evidences for Iran’s economy show that export and import diversification has reduced, so that the share of import from China and Emirate in 2014 was 47 percent and share of oil-related goods in Iran’s export was 45 percent. The estimated import smuggling by second analysis in 2014 is 27 billion dollars and total smuggling by MIMIC model is 25 billion dollars. Therefor rising smuggling and instability of foreign exchange income are the main obstacles for the resistance economy to be come true. Export and import diversification, reducing the profit in non-value added markets, improving the moral of sacrifice, improving the relationship between university and industry and creating relative advantage in industrial export are the optimal policies to reduce vulnerability of economy.
