Investigating and identifying variables affecting the realization of the economics of students in Iran and selected countries on the horizon of 2050

After realizing the analysis and the outcomes of the knowledge-based economy, Iran has had its own performances as well. One shortcoming in Iran in this issue is with respect to commercializing of the knowledge-based products. By considering the patent rights as a proxy of accomplishment of the knowledge-based economy, this work is specifying the influential variables and the policies for improving the knowledge-based economy in Iran and other developed economies at the 2050 horizon. The results indicate that the global competitiveness index, R&D expenditures and doing business complexities have had significant impacts on amounts of patents as a proxy of the knowledge-based economy. Also, the impact of human and educational capital on innovation variables has been more significant than that of informational and communicational infrastructure.
