Considering the importance of the agriculture sector in Iran, this study investigated factors affecting economic growth and development of the agriculture sector in Iran over the period of 1967-2009 for short term and long term, using ARDL model. The results showed that the ratios of public investment expenditure to the GDP for short-term and long term have positive impacts on the economic growth. However, the dummy variables of revolution, war and the oil shock have negative effects on the economic growth. It is worth mentioning that in the short term the ratio of private investment expenditure to the GDP does not have a significant effect on the economic growth. Meanwhile, in the agricultural sector the ratio of private sector investment to the value added caused by the private sector has a positive effect on the agricultural growth. Furthermore, the ratio of the public sector investment to the value added, have positive effects on the agricultural growth. The employment rate, however, has a negative impact on the growth of the agriculture sector .Within a short-term, in the agricultural sector the ratio of private sector investment to the value added and the ratio of public sector investment to the value added, have positive. The dummy variable o war has a significant negative effect and the other variables have no significant effect. Error correction coefficient shows that the total effect of a government policy on the economic growth and the agricultural growth is observable in a short period of time. Ultimately, the economic growth in Iran is mainly nfluanced by the public setor nvestment the agricultural sector is mainly influenced by the private sector investment. A simultaneous development of public and private sector investment contributes to the total growth and the agricultural growth.

AbstractAgricultural sector is a developmental domain and id a way for achievement to goals that are anticipated in Iran perspective document. from this view, knowledge management (KM) is critical for starting and continuing this way. This paper investigate on process of applicable and especial knowledge in Agricultural sector (A case study in yazd province). Also ranks stages of knowledge process and their factors in any stage of process. Stages of knowledge process are defined in terms of creating & acquiring, storage & retrieval ,share & transfer and application of knowledge. We gather data by studying previous studies, interview & questionnaire the validity of questionnaire have approved by some of universities,s professors ,researchers and experts in management and agriculture. we have distributed 196 questionnaires among personnel of Jahad agricultural organization of yazd province. From 196 questionnaire, 160 questionnaire are gathered. Coronbach,salpha showed reliability ,0.8613. results showed that the mean of all 4 stages of Km process, creat & acquire, storage & retraival ,share & transfer and application are more than 5 in this sector. According to ranks that obtained by Topsis technique, emphasis of agriculture sector is respectively on share & transfer, application, storage & retrieval and creat & acquire knowledge. And the differences among them are significant with 99% confidence. Totally, this study indicates that primary structure of KM exists in agricultural sector. In this way, continuing and speeding toward documentation applicable-especial knowledge is important for establishing KM completely.
