摘要：The purpose of this study was to investigate the comparativeadvantage of production and measuring the competitivenessof major crops of Urmia County by the policy analysis matrix(PAM) in 2016-2017. The results of the comparative advantageindicators indicated that Urmia has a comparative advantage inthe production of irrigated wheat, rain-fed wheat, rain-fed barley,sunflower, tomato, chickpeas, and red beans, but it has no comparative advantage in the production of irrigated barley and sugarbeet among the major crops of the region. The three indicators ofcomparative advantage applied in this study include net socialprofit (NSP), domestic resource cost (DRC), and social cost-benefitindex (SCB). According to the NSP index, tomato production has ahigher comparative advantage over other crops, and red beans,peas, sunflowers, buckwheat, buckwheat, and barley are in thenext ranks, respectively. According to the cost competitivenessindex, all surveyed crops had cost competitiveness. The results ofreviewing the protection indicators, including net protection coefficient input (NPCI), revealed that indirect subsidies were paidto tradable inputs for all studied crops. The nominal protectioncoefficient output (NPCO) index for irrigated wheat, rain-fedwheat, sunflower, rain-fed pea, and red bean indicates an indirecttax on the production of these crops by the government.
