Abstract

In this study, taking into account the general policies of resistance economy and considering existing literature on economic resistance, indicators for measuring Iran's economic resistance are presented. The first index is based on global statistical resources and in the period 2011 to 2014 for 140 different countries with annual frequency, and aims to observe the status of Iran among the countries of the world in terms of economic resistance and its determinative components. Another indicator is only available for Iran, and it is seasonally estimated, with the aim of providing a suitable timeline to allow the observation of the index of economic resistance at a given time interval of three months. Since the access restriction to various statistics makes the selection of variables more complicated for seasonal frequency, the seasonal economic strength index for Iran is based on more limited variables, from 1380 (2001) to the first season of 1394 (2015).
