Industry beta has great role and applications in corporate finance such as equity cost, assets pricing, services pricing, portfolio management and risk management procedures. Here we propose jump-continuous pricing model as an efficient factor model for abovementioned applications, then scrutinizing industry jump beta and industry continuous beta according the model. Consequently, supremacy of jump beta on continuous beta in all studied industries is resulted. Moreover, descriptive and statistical recognition about the stance of industries jump and continuous beta achieved. Subsequently, effect of company characteristics on industry betas studied using panel data regressions, and then their effect on jump beta supremacy studied by probit regression. Company characteristics influence on betas aggressiveness and finally their effect on beta’s deviation from industries beta were investigated. Along with some general results about most of industries, like firm’s size effect on both betas aggressiveness and its effect on deviation from industry continuous beta, we gather some results about some industries, which should be interpreted by based on the industries circumstances.

With regard to the fact that controllers' misuses in the public share companies has always been one of the discussed subjects in corporate governance and one of particular concerns of small investors, هt is necessary to protect the small shareholders against managers and controlling shareholders' misuses. After notifying the general policies of resistance economy by Iran's Supreme Leader and focusing on issues such as democratizing economy, reforming and strengthening the overall financial system, and the transparency of economic activities, it seems necessary to pay more attention to supporting and protecting the rights of small shareholders. This paper examines how and why to protect the rights of small shareholders, greater recognition of the resistance economy and the role of the capital market in the implementation of the resistance economy policies, and improving the business condition. Using grounded theory, the Supreme Leader's remarks on the resistance were researched and the research model on the issue of "development and empowerment of the capital markets in order to fulfill the objectives of the resistance economy" was extracted.Since each segment of the model is somehow associated with the rights of the small shareholders and one of the consequences of capital market development, according to this model, is the presence of the public, private sectors, and cooperatives in the country's economy, suggestions and strategies are presented for the development of some mechanisms and instruments in corporate governance in order to support and protect the rights of small shareholders to improve the business condition, to create confidence for investors and to reach the objectives of the resistance economy.

This study aims to contribute to the literature of dividend and empirical research investigating the effects of dynamic factors on dividend policy in Tehran Stock Exchange. Based on some criteria, the study contains 133 non-financial listed firms over 10-year period from 2001 to 2010. To test the research hypotheses, this study uses Fixed Effect model as a static and Generalized Method of Moments as a dynamic regression models. The results show that the most important determinants of dividend are market risk with a negative association, followed by market to book value and then firm size with positive associations respectively. The variable of the government ownership has a negative coefficient and statistically insignificant. It means that affiliated firms to the governments generally tend to pay less dividend but not significantly. Therefore, the determinants of dividend decisions are not significantly different between the two groups of firms.
