Corporate governance of banks is one of the most important structures required by banks to maintain the health and stability of banks, which can play an important role in managing banks' risk. This paper examines the effect of corporate governance on liquidity risk management, credit risk management, and total bank risk management. We used board structure effectiveness, transparency, and responsibility as corporate governance indicators. The financial ratio approach is also used to measure risk management. The period under review was 2006-2018. In addition to corporate governance criteria, other explanatory variables affecting banks' risk management have also been used. This paper used the performing unit root, cointegration, and F-Limmer tests to ensure panel estimation. Given the impact of past banks' risk management on current risk management, this variable has also been modeled as an explanatory variable. For this reason, the GMM method has been used to estimate the models in question. Given the importance of bank size in corporate governance on bank risk management, Banks are divided into large and small groups, so the effect of corporate governance in large and small banks has also been investigated on bank risk management. The results show that compliance with corporate governance criteria positively affects banks' risk management. However, due to weak corporate governance in large banks, corporate governance in large banks hurts bank risk management.

Good implementation of corporate governance principles is considered an important tool for the stability and soundness of a financial institution. An extensive body of studies has done about the effects of corporate governance on firm performance. The majority of those studies have found a more corporate value for implementing those principles. Due to these facts, the assessment of compliance with corporate governance principles is a critical factor for external inspectors to be sure about the long-term sustainability of any economic organization. Based on these facts, this research aims to introduce a suitable mechanism for measurement of Iranian banking corporate governance, and calculation of corporate governance in a bank as a sample through a set of value measures, elements, and indices. This mechanism helps to score banks compliance with four corporate governance principles: accountability, responsibility, transparency, and fairness and rank them according to their score. For valuation of importance coefficients for each of the measures and elements, we use the viewpoints of the experts. To calculate the final corporate governance index for the sample bank, the value of any sub-indices is derived from published information and other information related to the bank.

Enhancing the energy efficiency of appliances is one of the most significantways of energy saving. In this context, Iran's Energy Productivity Organization isputting in effect some policy measures to support desert cooler producers to improvethe energy efficiency of their products. This paper undertakes a cost-benefit analysisof the alternative ways of Energy efficiency enhancement in desert coolers. To thisend, we first investigate the feasibility of energy efficiency enhancement in desertcoolers and then estimate the costs and benefits of higher energy efficiency. Ourresults indicate that with available technologies there are several feasible and costeffective ways to increase energy efficiency of desert coolers. In addition, paymentof subsidy to cooler producers removes the financial barriers of producing efficientcoolers but does not guarantee the adoption of more efficient technologies by them.Without considering other determining factors (such as quality R&D and increasingthe consumer's awareness about the benefits of efficient appliances), theeffectiveness of adopted policy measures will remain uncertain.
