In every society the optimal performance of economic system is
depened upon two efJkient, powerful and administered sections: Real and
Financial. The existence of different institutions in financial markets make different financial instruments available to real section. Investment
companies are among active financial institutions which collect small
amounts ofcapital by selling thier shares and invest them in profitable
economic activities, especially securities of different companies.
Investment companies invest in variety ofsecurities and shares with
different risks and investment returns. Through diversification, they can
reduce risk and increase returns of thier in vestors. Our question in this
paper is that, are these comp anies able to do so? On the basis of this
assumption, we studied the changes in risks and returns of in vestment
companies' sharesfrom March 1996 to March 1998. The results showed
that the shares of investment companies (except one or two of them) have low returns in coutrant to their risks
Therefore the shares of these companies were suitable for risk-avertcrs.
and risk-lovers could gain more hy investing in other shares.
By using EGP model and maximizing subject to fixed risk . we found
that an optimal portfolio combination contains 22 companies' shares with
low risk and reasonable return. Comparing the investment compnnics
portfolio in Tehran Stock Exchange wit h. this optimal portiolio shows that these companies have little shares in the optimal portfolio

Our review of the neoclassical model emphasizes that it is in fact not a
model of ongoing growth, since it implies that per capita output nues will
approach constant values in the absence of exogenous ( there fore
unexplained) technological proKress. Several analyt ical results are
exposited, Following this review, it is argued that the neoclassical approach not only fails to provide an explanation of everlasting steady - state growth. hut also cannot plausibly explain actual observ ed cross-country growlh rate:
differences by reference to transitional (i.e., non-steady-state} episodes. It can, with the inclusion ofhuman capital inputs, explain a substantial
portion ofobserved cross-country differences in income levels, but there
are some questionable aspects of this accomplishment and, in any event,
explaining levels is not the main task of a. theory of growth.
The endogenous growth literature attempls to provide explanations for
ongoing, steady-state growth. in per capita output values and consequently for growth rate differences across countries. Three types of endogenous growth models are presented, featuring (i) externalities resultingfrom linked capital- and- knowledge acdumulation, (ii) accumulation of human capital (i, e., individuals' workplace skills). and (iii) continuing growth in the stock ofexisting productive "designs," with the entire stock facilitating the creation of additional designs (that are produced in re.'ponse to private rewards). The last of these types seems most plausible as a mechanism capable of generating long-lasting growth. The likelihood o] obtaining steady-state (never-ending hut non-explosive) growth. from any of the models seems very small, however, since such a result would require highly special (zero measure) parameter values. The endogenous growth approach seems fruitful, nevertheless, as it con in principle rationalize long-lasting growtn and growth rate differences across economies and will indicate with reasonable accuracy the effects of changes in policy, tastes,
of technology that alter the steady-state capiialllabor ratio

After the appearance offinancial crises in developing countries, there
has been a wide range of researches about the financial capacity of these
countries with respect to their debts. Though this subject has been a matter of argument for several decades, today it is one of the most contravertial . arguments in economic literature.
There are, in general, three factors which determine the income
capacity of the governments: degree of development, sectoral composition of GNP, and the degree of openness of economy. But there is not a common agreemant in their degree of effectiveness.
Later, other factors have been put to test, and with the help of
advanced econometrics models have been developed more seriously. In
spite of strategic importance of Iran and middle East area, still there has
not been an independent research in this issue, so, in this article we tried
to analyse the characteristics ofpublic income in Iran and factors affecting it.

This paper represents a theoretical model from which the supply
function for a durable goods is derived. It turns out that consumer at the
equilibrium condition equates its user cost with the marginal value of
services received by using an additional unit of durable goods. The stock
price is obtained from this condition. In addition, at the equilbrium
condition for producer, the stock price is equal to the marginal production
cost which results the supply function of durable goods. Since the fa ctors
such as interest rates, depreciation rates, Wold of goods and the marginal
value ofservecies determine the stock price, Thus they Life ime affect the
supply function indirectly
