An Analysis of Export Diversification and Itʹs Effects on Non-oil Export Earning: The Case of Iran

It is frequently suggested that export diversification is an important component of export earning growth and economic growth. In this study, we analyzed export diversification and its effects on non-oil export earning for Iran during the period of 1979-1999. In these process, we used two indices namely 1. Hirschman concentration index and 2. cumulative export experience function. Investigating the non-oil export performances showed that export diversifcation from "primary" to "industrial" export, resulted a considerable increase in export earnings. Therefore, adopting and implementing diversification policies are justified and recommended.
