Abstract

The purpose of this survey is assessing the effects of monetary policy on Iran’s macroeconomic variables. In this regard, using the Factor Augmented Vector Auto-Regressive (FAVAR) methodology which contains 110 quarterly variables of macroeconomic from1990:2-2013:1, monetary policies in Iran were evaluated. Weused liquidity, monetary base, bank debt and bank credit in the private sector as a monetary tool for measuring the monetary policy regarding the implementation of Riba-free Banking law in Iran. The result showed that, the impact of monetary policy on output is not clear in the short term; but we can accept monetary neutrality in the long term. Moreover, an expansionary monetary policy has a stability effect on the general price level in the short and long term. Comparing the result of VAR model and FAVAR model and using the FAVAR model showed that there was no “Prize Puzzle” in anyone of the two models.
