The main purpose of this article is study of short and long-run relationship between measures of financial development and growth of agricultural sector, applying vector error-correction model to 1962-2004 data. Agricultural bank credit, credit of other banks and money stock minus currency to GDP were used to measure agricultural financial development. Results showed that there is a long-run bi-directional causality relationship between financial development and agricultural growth and agricultural growth caused financial development in short-run. Agricultural bank credit cannot cause fixed capital formation in agriculture in short and long-run. Therefore, allocation of credit needs some reforms for increasing of capital formation in agriculture.
