Estimating the Investment Required to Achieve the Goals of the Sixth Economic Development Program Based on the National Dynamic Input-Output Table

The problem of the current research is the estimation of the matrix of national inter-sector capital coefficients. This matrix is an important parameter of the economic structure and the main axis of dynamic input-output tables and a very efficient way for economic forecasting. The purpose of this article is to estimate the investment required to achieve the goals of the sixth five-year plan of economic development with the help of the matrix of national capital coefficients. For this purpose, an effort is made to solve the problem of not aligning the dynamic input-output table, which has been neglected in other researchers conducted in the country, and the results in two cases of the proposed approach of this article with other methods used in other researchers conducted in the country for 2015 to be compared. The statistical population in this research is the entire economy of Iran and economic sectors are considered, according to the Central Bank’s capital balance information, including agriculture, oil and gas, mining, industry, water and electricity and gas, construction, transportation, communications, Real estate and other services. The results show that the linear normalization of the initial capital matrix reduces the capital coefficients, and the required investment for most sectors will be estimated higher than in the case of no normalization.
