Abstract
This paper attempts to introduce two indices for measuring the level of Intra-industry Trade (IIT) between Iran and the members of the European Economic Community (EEC) according to five agricultural product groups. For this purpose, the indices suggested by Grubel-Lioyd and Aquino, were employed and explained how these indices obtained. The required data and information were collected from the year books and the internet site of “Iran Trade Point”.
In general, the measured indices indicated a low level of trade between Iran and the members of EEC. In three groups, export value was higher than import value. On the contrary, for the two another groups of cereals and flowers, the import values were higher in most years. But in general, there wasn't seen any certain trend in indices values. In addition, many uses of these two indices also explained. Because Intra-Industry Trade is a new subject, further study and research seems to contribute to the economic communities specially in Iran.

Abstract
Evaluating different aspects of government policy in terms of their indirect and welfare effects has been always of interest. In this study, the effects of gauranteed purchasing policy on land under cultivation and yields of cotton, potatoes and onions were investigated in Fars province. For this purpose, a Nerlove model was applied to time series data of 1972-02 after testing their stationary to estimate the cultivated lands and yields functions of these products. The use of protection rates as explantory varrables is one of the interesting characteristic of such a model. Although the results were not similar for all the products, the indication is that the policy has not had significant influence on the land areas and yields of cotton, potatoes and onions. However, taking into account that the policy has been recentely commenced in Fars, and that the policy takes time to become effective, the policy may result in different outcomes in the long run.

Abstract
The main objective of this study was determining the best sprinkler system and ranking total operational sprinkler systems in Isfahan province. The data was collected through 262 questionnaires completed by farmers in Feridan and Semirom cities in Isfahan province. Ranking and comparing the systems were done via criteria matrix and qualitative efficiency of objects and compromise programming. Based on the results of this study, hand-move sprinkler irrigation and then solid-set sprinkler irrigation were found to be the best systems in most of the regions. However, solid-set sprinkler irrigation was the best in some other areas. Results also showed that there were trivial differences between farmer selection in sprinkler irrigation and suitable system in the region. Also, comparison of suitable system and conventional irrigations used by farmers showed that the current systems of farmers are not usually an optimal system.
