@ARTICLE{Bashiri, author = {Bashiri, Sahar and Pahlavani, Mosayeb and Boostani, Reza and }, title = {Stock Market Fluctuations and Monetary Policy in Iran}, volume = {7}, number = {23}, abstract ={This paper investigates the relationship between monetary policy and stock market fluctuations for Iranian economy within a DSGE model. This study models the role of monetary policy in two monetary regimes including money growth and Taylor rule with traditional factors and optimal simple rule in the new Keynesian monetary framework with nominal wage and price rigidities in the Iranian economy. Bubbles in our model emerge through a positive feedback loop mechanism supported by self-fulfilling beliefs. Results show that: first, using an optimal simple rule and determining the optimal coefficients of the Taylor rule by policy makers decrease the loss function. Second, the sentiment shock which represents the size of current bubbles relative to newly born bubbles and transfers to the real economy through endogenous credit constraint, drives the movements of stock market fluctuations and variations in real economy, leading to explain the positive contemporaneous correlation between stock prices and the real economy Third, using an optimal simple rule and determining the optimal coefficients of the Taylor rule with stock price Fluctuations by policy makers decrease the loss function and it confirms that monetary policy should respond to stock market bubbles in the economy. }, URL = {http://jemr.khu.ac.ir/article-1-1316-en.html}, eprint = {http://jemr.khu.ac.ir/article-1-1316-en.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Economic Modeling Research}, doi = {10.18869/acadpub.jemr.6.23.103}, year = {2016} }
