Developing countries are faced with the scarcity of resources such as labor force, investment, energy, water, etc. Such scarcities have forced these countries into adopting the unbalanced growth theory and prioritizing their resources in the manufacturing sectors. In this study, the importance of the banking sector in Iranian economy, as well as its effects on other economic sectors are taken into account. Total forward Linkages (Net and Gross) are used in order to specify the influence of the banking sector on other sectors, and also to compare it with them. The stimulation of the development of banking sector activities on the various economic sectors is also specified through total backward linkages (Net and Gross). The statistical data of this study have been provided from the input-output table (2012); the latest official updated input-output table of Iran, released by Iran’s Parliament Research Center. The position of this sector, both in terms of stimulatibility and stimulation in the manufacturing sectors, is lower than that of other sectors. The partial forward linkage index of the banking sector shows that 67.93% of the banking services are used as intermediate goods in the economy. Thus, the banking sector is the one which that is mostly at the service of the production sectors, and in this regard, it is ranked first among all service sectors. The chemical production, building and banking sectors respectively obtain the most benefits from banking services. The chemical production sector, the banking sector and the water, electricity and the natural gas distribution sectors, respectively, are the largest suppliers of the banking sector’s needs.

Numerous studies using different models have carried out to investigate the effects of different kinds of government expenditure on economic variables. This paper, study the effects of government expenditures on the economic variables in Golestan Province using the social accounting matrix (SAM). To this end, using the multipliers analysis of the social accounting matrix for the year 1994,we examined the effects of government current and development expenditures on products, value added and employment in different economic sectors of the region.
One of the advantages of this procedure is the possibility of studying the effects of government expenditures on macroeconomic variables in the region by disagregating them into several sectors. The results indicate that government expenditures on public services and machinary let to more economic activities in the region in comparison with. other sectors. In addition, current expenditures caused more value added in comparison with the government investment in infrastructure in the region.
