The present paper aims to provide an efficient model to predict stock prices using neural networks. Therefore the chemical industry companies accepted in Tehran Stock Exchange for the study were selected. Data for the period 2014 - 2010 prepared by using feed forward neural network with back-propagation algorithm to predict the stock price of the study were discussed. To evaluate the effectiveness of neural networks as compared to the classical methods of prediction, a comparison with regression (panel data) was performed. Both methods artificial neural network and regression results are consistent with But the total square error of neural network method is 0.29 and 1.68 in the regression that demonstrate the advantages and effectiveness of the neural network method than regression in predicting stock prices and chemical industry companies are listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange.
The aim of this research is to study the profitability of the insurance industry in Iran during the period of 20 years from 1993 to 2013. Research method is analytical and inductive post-event. Data related to the insurance and economic indicators are including the Premium of life insurance, Premium of non-life insurance, gross domestic product and inflation and profitability of Iranian insurance companies during the years 1993 to 2013 that were extracted from the economic and insurance forms. The regression model and ARDL time series technique were used for data analysis. The research results showed that the Premium of life insurance has a positive effect on the profitability of insurance companies in Iran, but the Premium of non-life insurance has not had a significant effect on profitability, the economic indexes of research, namely GDP and inflation, have a positive and negative impact on the profitability of insurance companies in Iran, respectively.
