Background and Theoretical Foundations: Investigating competitiveness and comparative advantage is one of the most important elements in deciding on the production and exports of each product.
Methodology: For this purpose, various indicators and methods have been proposed, all of which are based on opportunity cost. This paper tries to use the policy analysis matrix (PAM) methods, internal resource cost criteria, export competitiveness, and support coefficients while examining government support and taxes in the fisheries sector, Iran's comparative advantage in the industry in question and the like. Its competitiveness in global markets in 1397 should be examined.
Findings: For this purpose, first the cost items of production of various fishery products are extracted and then the policy analysis matrix is drawn. Following that, various indicators of comparative advantage and competitiveness have been calculated. The results of calculating the cost indices of domestic resources and comparative advantage based on unit cost indicate that Iran has the ability to compete in domestic markets in the production of fishery products. At the same time, this competitiveness is without the need for government subsidies.
Conclusion: From the research results, it can be pointed out that during the study period, production inputs were subject to subsidies and with it, indirect taxes were imposed on manufactured products. Also, in total and net, VAT has been imposed on the production value of fishery products. Finally, the figures calculated from the export competitiveness index show that this industry is competitive in global markets. |
