Analysis of Income gaps and wealth distribution in Iran: Piketty Approach

This study aimed to demonstrate the inequality of income and wealth in Iran. Therefore, the effects of income inequality and wealth distribution were modeled from 1390 to 1397 on Piketti's dynamic model and based on the analysis of household budget data for the first time in Iran. The results showed that Piketti's hypotheses are valid for Iran and fifty percent of total household wealth belongs to the tenth decile. Furthermore, high Income-share lead to more saving rate and widen the wealth gap between the top and low deciles. It is worth mentioning that this study results owning to the limitation of data gathered, mainly include real estate capital and omit capital like bonds, gold, foreign currency, stocks, and deposits. Consequently, the obtained results are conservative and including the above-mentioned omitted capital into the model would deteriorate the status of inequality. Undoubtedly, establishing a new capital gains tax system would improve equality

Identifying the Factors of Development of Open Innovation Processes in Cyber Security Research Institutes Using Grounded Theory approach

Rapid technological change, increased cost of innovation and increased competition in new products and services have caused organizations to interact with the environment and its external stakeholders. This has led to the opening up of the organization's boundaries and the use of open innovation paradigms in developing internal trends in innovation and market expansion for external use of innovation.  Cyber security technology is one the most changeable technologies. Preserving cyber security is one of the key issues in the country's national security, and access to native cyber security products is very important as well. The aim of this study is to identify the factors of development of open innovation in cyber security research institutes of Iran and provide solutions for developing these factors in cyber security research institutes. In this research, these factors are identified using Grounded Theory approach. To this end, 16 semi-structured interviews were conducted with experts. By analyzing the data in the open coding process with the help of the MAXQDA10 software, 10 sub-categories were produced in the form of 3 main categories. The model presented in this article is based on emerging design approach and the results have been explained as theoretical proposition
