Abstract

The aim of this study is to investigate the role of macroeconomic policies in the financial stability of Iran’s economy. Based on Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium models, a model capable of tracing interactions between the real and the financial sectors has been constructed. In the financial modeling, the characteristics of Iran banking system, such as NPLs and frozen assets, have been incorporated. The results of simulations based on quarterly data of Iran economy during 1990-2014 show that stabilization policies are able to restrict financial vulnerabilities by reducing the fluctuations of the real sector variables. As a result, the stability of the real sector is a prerequisite for the stability of the financial sectors. Also due to the financial and real sector communications, the effects of declining vulnerabilities of the financial sector enhance the impacts of stabilization policies in the real sector. These effects result in the improvement of macroeconomic environment and increase in social welfare.
