Abstract

Increasing the private sector participation in economic activities and promoting competition were among the First 5 Year Socio-Economic Plan of Iran. This paper will examine the probable changes in monopoly and the size of government during this plan. By considering Concentration ratio as a proxy measure for the size of monopoly and competition, we found the Manufacturing sector of Iranian economy was highly concentrated in the beginning as well as at the end of the First Economic Plan. Furthermore, the share of government in economic activities increased during this plan, which is in contrast to the targets of the First 5 Year Socio-Economic plan and Iranian Structural Adjustment Program.
