Abstract
Kerman province is the first in the area of production and cultivation of pistachios in Iran. In this study, a number of 162 samples were collected using ‘cluster sampling’ from Kerman province in 2009 to analyze the policy effects and the comparative advantage of pistachios production in the province. The comparative advantage was computed through Policy Analysis Matrix (PAM). Domestic Resource Cost (DRC), Social Cost-Benefit (SCB), Nominal Input Protection Coefficient (NPIC), Nominal Protection Coefficient (NPC), Effective Protection Coefficient (EPC) and Net Social Profit (NSP) were the indices used in the study. The results show that the production of pistachios was a comparative advantage in Kerman province. Meanwhile they revealed that although the government supports the inputs market of the product, its sales market is not supported in any way. In the mean time, the findings indicate that the government’s intervention in the inputs or sales markets of the product would be harmful for the producers. The study shows that production and exports of pistachios are profitable in free competition terms.

Abstract
Today with obsolescence policy of import substitution industrialization, countries are opening their commercial doors to each other. But one of the problems of developing countries is high rate of educated unemployed people. Iran is facing tow phenomena. The first is High rate of educated unemployed people and the second is the increasing in the participation rate. In this survey with information of 49 countries we found that firstly, openness result in increasing the ratio of the educated workforce to total workforce. Secondly, the service sector has more effective than the industrial sector in the ratio of demand of educated workforce. Third, for the entire of 49 countries listed, the ratio of high-tech exports to total exports has a poorly positive impact on the ratio of educated workforce. And forth, the capital output ratio has a negligible positive impact on the ratio of educated workforce to total workforce.
