Abstract :
Introduction: Given to economic sanctions as well as the emphasis of policy makers on the resistance economy and national production, it is important to identify the factors affecting the agricultural growth. One of these factors is banking credit. Despite the relative consensus of economists on the positive impact of banking credit on macroeconomic variables, some of them believe in the difference between the impact of public and private bank lending on economic growth and employment. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of banking credit on Iranian agricultural growth sector by considering the role of bank ownership Materials and Methods: In this study, the data for the fourth quarter of 1388 (2009) to the first quarter of 1397 (2018) and the MIDAS-GARDL method were used Findings: The results showed that the credit granted by state-owned banks have a greater impact on the growth of the agricultural sector compared to the credit of private banks Conclusion: It is suggested that state-owned banks have a greater share in the payment of banking facilities to the agricultural sector.
