چکیده:
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of import of technology on Iranian Economy. We have used multi-sectoral and multi–regional computable general equilibrium GTAP model. Transfer of technology from one region to another is another factor effecting productivity. Trade is one of the channels that speeds the transfer of technology. The effect of a ten percent productivity shock, in high-tech industries of industrial countries have been tracked on economic sectors of Iran. The result show that productivity of high technology industrial sectors in Iran has increased by 3.6%, GDP has increased by 0.52%, while inflation decreased by 1.19% in the Iranian economy. The findings also include increases in real sectoral outputs and decrease in the imports.

Introduction Taking into consideration the scarcity and high costs, of inputs, instead of increasing the consumption of stocks and new investments for production and economic growth, every country try to concentrate on available inputs, increase efficiency and productivity and utilize its existing capacity optimally (Shimizu, 1997).
According to the new growth theories, technology is considered to be a public goods which is transferred among countries with low prices (for example: Grossman and Helpman, 1991; Rivera-Batiz and Romer, 1991).
Technology is transferred to developing countries through exports of the intermediate and capital goods or by way of foreign direct investment (FDI) (Coe, et al.
Moreover, the role of absorption capacity and structural similarity has been considered as two effective factors on transfer and spillover of technology in an empirical model.
Accounting relationship included data in matrix table of social accounting and input-output; and behavioral equations represent the behavior of economic factors in the model which is related to production, consumption, savings and regional investment.
Not only must a country be able to utilize new knowledge effectively, but also both structural similarity as well as high absorption capacity is required for successful technology transfer.
As an example the proportion of imports of high technology intermediate goods in total production of j sector in Iran equals to 0.
5. Empirical results We have examined the impact of technological spillover and shocks of a 10 percent improvement in high-tech industries of North American and European countries, on other regions specially our emphasize has been on Iran.
