Abstract
The purpose of this study is to estimate the GDP of sport and review the evolution of its components during 1996-2015. In this regard, the existing models were first determined and finally a suitable model for estimating the volume of the sport of Iran's economy was introduced and then tested. Therefore, the present research is a fundamental research in terms of its purpose and is a type of documentary research in terms of data collection and statistics. Data have been collected from various resources, Household sport expenditure data from raw materials questionnaire of Statistics Center of Iran, current and development sport costs of the government from information in the Management and Planning Organization and the Ministry of Sports and Youth, export and import data of sporting goods from the Statistical calendar of Iran Custom, and Iran GDP data (current prices) and inflation rate from the Central Bank of Iran. The period of all data is from 1996 to 2015, and data analysis is also done by Excel 2013 software.
