Abstract

The main purpose of this paper is to calculate the entropy of money in the space of Gross domestic product with the approach of econophysics and investigating the effect of stock market development on it. In this regard, by using annual data in the period of 1370-1398 in the framework of Smooth Transition Autoregressive Model (STAR), the asymmetric behavior of monetary irregularities around a threshold at different levels of stock market value as a variable of analysis is investigated. The results show that at low levels of current value of the stock market (the first regime), net capital inventory and budget deficit of governments have positive effects and the number of companies admitted to the stock exchange organization have a negative effect on monetary entropy. At high levels of current value of the stock market (Second Regime), net capital inventory has negative effect and government budget deficit continued to have a positive effect on monetary entropy. Based on the results of this study, it is clear that the dynamics of the stock market will reduce monetary entropy, which is itself an indicator of wasting and lacking of access to the resources.
