Effects of the Main Sectors of Economy on Distribution of Household Income; with a Structural Path Analysis Approach

The article aims to examine the effects of various economic sectors on the household income with a social-accounting matrix approach. For this purpose، the SimSIP SAM software of the World Bank (2008) and the accounting matrix of Iranian Parliament Research Centre (2006) have been used. Based on total multipliers، the findings reveal the greatest effects for the construction and agriculture sectors on household income and the greatest effects for the sectors of crude oil، natural gas as well as water، electricity and gas on the company income. By total multiplier decomposition in the framework of structural path analysis، the findings reveal impacts of the agriculture sector through increasing mixed income of households.
