Abstract

In this paper, the efficiency of the private sector response to the economic-political changes of Iran's public sector in the areas of immigration, capital flight and population growth rate change has been investigated, during the forty-four years after the Islamic Revolution. For this purpose, the private sector in every year has been considered as an independent decisionmaking unit, and its response efficiency has been calculated using the data envelopment analysis. Political stability, economic stability, political development and economic development are used as the inputs and migration, capital flight and population growth rate change are used as the outputs of this decision making unit. This paper, has been used the Mann-Whitney test to prove the meaningfully of the private sector's reaction efficiency changes. The results of this research show that the efficiency of the private sector reaction has been meaningful throughout the investigation period, and this efficiency has been increased in the first and second decades after the revolution, comparing with itself, and it has been almost stable, after reaching the maximum.
