One of the most fundamental outputs of social security systems is the redistribution mechanism. With moving from FUND to PAYG position and vice versa, the system shows intergenerational redistribuation and within-cohort redistribuation effects, depends on financial organization. According to the law, the mechanism considered for social security system in IRAN is FUND. Thus, we expect within-cohort redistribuation. This research tests this important note with evaluating insured individual accounts. The resualts show, in different target population deciles, internal rate of return (IRR) is 47 to 85% with average 53% and benefit – cost ratio (B/C) is 2.6 to 10.3 with average 3.7. This indicates that the necessary investment rate is 53%, while with current optimistic assessment, this rate is 30% for long-term, which shows intergenerational redistribuation. The effect inflation increase on redistribution test indicates current and future generation losses and also intensifying intergenerational redistribuation

Since the Third Economic-Social-Cultural Development Plan and & specially in Forth Plan، the government has noticed the importance and crucial role of TFP(Total Factor Productivity) growth in enhancing GDP(Gross Domestic Product) and therefor، has been economical situation of country & has begun trying to increase TFP of country by improving the Partial Performance Indices(PPI).Therefore the necessity of relating the computed TFP to the PPIs in companies –which without that، computing TFP alone would not be useful & applicable enough- is clear. None of the Ministries and governmental companies of Iran were successful to study this relation، so Tthis article studies & investigates the effects of PPI on TFP this subject in NIOOC، which is that is one of the main producing oil & gas sub-companies of NIOC (National Iranian Oil Company)، as a case study with respect to Labor and Capital PPIs infor the period of 1997 -to 2006. ، based on econometrics & stasistical models We use the . Research will be done using Solow mMethod with Cobb-Douglas production fFunction as well as ; & in addition to main method، also the Kendrick method. method will be used، so that results can be comparable. It can be seen that both methods nearly represent the same results. The results of this project show that in NIOOC the most effective studied Partial Performance Indexes on TFP in NIOOC is “the proportion of operating & managerial staff” that represents the high importance of structuring & suitable organizational chart. Other indices which were effective on TFP of NIOOC were experience and expertise، the number of technologies used in production of oil، & finally the degree of using educated staff respectively.
