Economic growth is the most important purpose of developing countries. Each
country can improve social welfare and access to international markets by increasing
production potential. Production can increase by two ways: the frrst one, using more
inputs that raising production cost and the second one, improving efficiency that can
produce more output with certain inputs or the same output with less cost. The
Iranian industrial sector has big share of production, employment and investment.
Therefore identification technical efficiency is essential for programming economy
growth. In this paper, the Data Envelopment Analysis was used to measure the
technical efficiency of Iranian provinces through 1375-1383. Then, the efficient
units have been ranked with Anderson-Peterson method. Results indicate Boohsher,
Kerman, Khuzestan and Hormozgan provinces have the greatest value of technical
efficiencies. Then Tehran, Esfahan, Markazi and Azerbaijan Sharghi as industrial
provinces were ranked after these provinces. Total average of technical efficiency in
industrial sector ofthe Iranian provinces is 62/7 percent.
