Many measurements of international competitiveness have been developed to be used for predicting the trend of trade. They are used for the analyzing trade relations between countries to show to which extent are efficient. In fact, those factors that determine such efficiency are both qualitative (such as sale services) and quantitative in which the later one focus on prices and costs according to the most empirical studies.
The objective of this paper is to measure the degree of the international export competitiveness among the Iran’s trading partners over the period 1995-2003.
