Fluctuations of the housing prices during the past 15 years in the country and
provincial level, has been remarkable. In this paper, factors affecting housing price
level (long term) and its fluctuations (short term) in the provinces during the period
1370-1385(1991-2006) has been studied. For this purpose we used method of
panel data. The analysis shows that in short-term, factors of the housing price
fluctuations are: stock market price index, the general price level in the previous
period, the price of land, construction costs, oil prices, the amount of private sector
investment, household spending and interest rate on loan. Also in the long term,
factors of the housing price fluctuations are: housing prices in the previous period,
the number of households, stock market price index, household spending, the gold
prices, land and housing prices and so on. Other results in this paper show that in
determining housing prices and its variations the land price, the general price level
of the previous priod, interest rate on loan and oil prices had the greatest effect,
respectively.

In recent years, the rapid economic growth of newly industrialized countries has amazed every body, since during a short period of time, they had experienced extensive economic growth rate. Different economist explained and justified this phenomenon in different ways, the importance of this issue can be considered as a main stimulation which motivated us to investigate the comparative advantage of various economic sections of these countries and compare them with Iran in order to answer the following questions. 1. Do newly industrialized countries have worked based on comparative advantage? 2. does the comparative advantage in industrial section can be considered as a cause which brings the rapid growth in such countries? 3. How is Iran's situation in this matter? In order to answer to above mentioned questions, we have tried to compare the comparative advantage index in main industrial, agricultural and service section's, in these countries during 1984-2000. We have used pooling data in estimating the rate of economic growth. So these countries on comparative advantage of various sections, as a result we can say that, industry and creation of comparative advantage in this section is the most influential factors which cause such an increasing growth in newly industrialized countries. In Iran, we can say that it has not changed its advantage in the same way, but it has focused on agricultural section, which on the basis of research finding, it has a negative effect on economic growth.
