Abstract

Discovering the key sectors of the economy, according to the capacities and talents of each region, has always been considered by economists, something that is interpreted as comparative advantage in the economic literature. In the current research, investment ranking is determined by using the data-output table and measuring the effectiveness of the back and front links of different sectors. For this purpose, the investment priority in the country was identified using the data-output table of 2016 (updated from the 1390 table of Iran Statistics Center) and the new methods of determining the key sector. The hypothetical elimination method showed that the sectors of agriculture and horticulture, manufacturing of food products and manufacturing of chemical materials and products have the highest posterior and anterior links and are of higher importance. In the following, by using the field of influence method, it was determined that the manufacturing of food products with the value of 252/6416 has the largest field of influence and is a priority for investment, and more investment in this sector will cause more growth in production. After that, the manufacturing sector of chemical materials and products with the value of 169/4262 is the second priority and then the agriculture and horticulture sector with the value of 150/8038 is the third priority of investment, so it is recommended to use the potentials and capacities in the economic sectors in the sector Food products and education should be invested as key sectors, and then, considering the relative advantage of the agriculture and horticulture sector, investment in this sector is also inevitable.
