History

Regarding the necessity for development of different aspects of the studies in the IHCS in humanities and social sciences and their practical bases, ‘‘Faculty of Comparative Studies of Economics’’ was established in 1997 with 3 research groups. The purpose of this faculty is to make economic research comprehensive and to utilize and train researchers and scientists so they can enlarge the horizon of the economic studies and investigate the effect of the domestic culture and civilization on the formation and development of economic life in addition to theoretical and empirical studies in various branches of economics by qualitative and quantitative methods.

In 2008, a Master’s course in the field of ‘‘Economic Sciences’’ and in the following years in the field of ‘‘Economic Development and Planning’’ were initiated in the faculty aimed at using the existing scientific and human capital in order to train student researchers. Every year, a limited number of students are accepted and graduated through an entrance exam.

In 2013, by addition of 3 research groups in the field of the management, the name of the faculty was changed into the ‘‘Faculty of Comparative Studies of Economics and Management’’. In 2020, for further consistency of the research groups with the science of economics and the needs of the society and concurrent with structural changes in IHCS, the new structure of this faculty was ratified by the Ministry of Science Research and Technology.
