This study aims to evaluate the productivity (efficiency and effectiveness) of the selected Islamic Interest-Free Banking System Banks of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The present research is developmental as well as its data have been collected based on analytical-descriptive method. The article is documentary, library and questionnaire-based survey. Productivity of Iranian selected banks was evaluated through using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) Approach on two scenarios (output of Value Added and output of total revenue) during 2014-2015. Results of the study show that a combined approach (a combination of brokerage and productive approaches) was selected to identify inputs and outputs of the Islamic banks. According to the results of the first scenario (output of total revenue), five banks were identified as efficient selective banks in 2015. But in 2014, only three banks could be categorized among efficient banks. But regarding the second scenario, these figures were reduced to three banks and even the one in 2015 and 2014 respectively. Consequently, it is noteworthy to highlight that changing banks’ output from total revenue to VA will be led to improve their productivity.

Productivity is a behavioral trait that relies on relationship optimization and interaction between internal and external factors. Productivity derives its vitality from the fact that when it increases, total output can increase without increasing the factors involved in production. This study aimed to evaluate productivity (efficiency and effectiveness) of select banks in Islamic Republic of Iran’s Interest-Free Banking system. By using a numeric index method, indices of labor productivity, Intermediary inputs productivity, capital productivity and total factor productivity were measured in select commercial banks with and without considering effectiveness factor. Our findings suggest that average growth of labor productivity, capital and intermediate consumption in selected banks in the period under review was descending, the average productivity growth of deposits in banks in the study period was 0.2% and average total factor productivity growth without and with equivalent effectiveness indicators were 1.82 and -4.2% respectively.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficiency (productivity and effectiveness) of selected banks in the interest -free banking system of Iran. The study’s presupposition was that interest -free banking system is an introduction to Islamic banking. In terms of content, the research method in this study is developmental, and in terms of data collection, it is analytical-descriptive and survey-based. The data collection method is documentive, library – based and questionnaire. In this study, Delphi method has been used to measure the efficiency index and the approach to measuring the input and output of Islamic banks. Using the numerical index approach, the trend of the total index of production factors in commercial banks is measured with and without considering efficiency. Using the data envelopment analysis (vrs model), the relative efficiency of selected banks in two areas (value added output, total revenue output) is measured. The findings of this study indicate that the average total productivity growth of all production factors without efficacy indices was higher than the productivity index with efficiency indices.

The paper's objective is to present local indicators for measuring corruption in Islamic Republic of Iran. Therefore, the strengths and weaknesses have been considered by studying current indicators of corruption measurement. So variations are proposed to measure corruption in International research. Afterwards, the paper attempts touse six indicators to measure Iranian corruption among them by using elite's comments and Delphi study as follows: The government size, Jinni coefficient, wages, number of independent newspaper, regulatory quality, and informal economy.

Iranian society is an Islamic one which is expected that Islam presents as a conducting behavior to individuals and managing the society in all social and economic aspects of social life. Research creates knowledge and applying knowledge in practice, results in development. Accordingly, entering the issues, values and Islamic teachings in economic doctrines is possible through attempts in research in economic sphere with regard to Islamic approach in other words Islamic economy. This article is to study the challenges of research system in Iranian economy through the descriptive method and using the data of a survey from 46 Islamic economy researches questionnaire. The findings of the survey show that these experts necessitate the development of quantitative and qualitative research in Islamic economy. They evaluate the current situation as undesirable and necessitate the implementation of suitable actions to support researches in Islamic economy. Finally the author recommends some methods to improve the scientific and research activities in this regards.
