The impact of monetary policy through the banking facility channel on macro variables in Iran's economy with the DSGE model approach

The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of monetary policy through the channel of bank facilities on macro variables in Iran's economy. In order to analyze the results, dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) was used in terms of the structure of the banking system in the period of 1370-1399 based on the frequency of seasonal data. In the statistical analysis section, the impact of monetary policy on banking and macroeconomic variables was compared and evaluated. Based on the obtained results, it can be stated that most of the macroeconomic variables have shown the most positive reaction to the shock caused by the banking facilities as a channel for influencing the monetary policy. Based on this, the independence of the Central Bank and not imposing the results of the government's budget policies on the monetary policies of the Central Bank is a solution to make the monetary policies efficient in the medium and long term

Examining the effects of productivity shock on nominal prices of the economy in the conditions of banking crisis

According to the conditions of the banking system in recent years, signs of a banking crisis have been observed in Iran's economy, and considering the high share of the banking system in financing Iran's economic activities, in this article, the effects of productivity impulse on the variables of inflation rate, Nominal interest rate, capital rental rate, interest rate of deposits and interest rate of granting facilities have been investigated using dynamic general equilibrium model in the form of two limit scenarios of no crisis and presence of banking crisis using the data of Iran's economy during 2018-2019. The results show the less impact of the productivity impulse in the case of banking crisis compared to its non-occurrence and incomplete adjustments in banking crisis conditions

Investing of dynamic effect of immigration from rural to urban on income inequality: case study of rural regions in Iran

Today, rural migration to urban areas, leads to an aggregate fall in welfare due to lack of infrastructure for integrating the newcomers into urban settings. Not only does it lead to reduction of the welfare of rural migrants and creation of social problems in urban areas, but it also undermines the welfare of rural residents through increasing inequality in rural incomes. In this paper, we apply the combined data (panel) method and use the generalized momentum econometric model (GMM), to analyze panel rural data of 30 provinces of Iran for the period 2005 to 2015 to see how rural migration affects rural inequality.  Our research results show that migration at the beginning increases rural income inequality but that it tends to decrease rural income inequality in subsequent periods

Anethole exerted anticonvulsant effect in pentylenetetrazolemodel of seizure in male mice: Possible antioxidant effects

Background and aims: Epilepsy is a neurological disorder causing brain dysfunctions. Treatment and control of epilepsy have long been a challenge in medical sciences. Despite the variety of current anticonvulsant drugs, research continues to discover new drugs with the highest efficacy and the lowest side effects. In the present study, the anticonvulsant effects of anethole in the seizure induction with pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) were evaluated in a mice model with respect to its possible antioxidant effects. PTZ is known to cause generalized epilepsy in animal models. Methods: Accordingly, in this experimental study, 40 mice were divided into 5 groups; the first group received normal saline, the second group received 10 mg/kg diazepam, and the third to fifth groups were given anethole at 31.25, 62.5 and 125 mg/kg, respectively. Injections were conducted intraperitoneally for one week; then seizures were induced by the intravenous injection of 90 mg/kg PTZ. After determination of the duration of seizures in different groups, the mice were finally placed under deep anesthesia and their prefrontal cortex tissue was isolated to measure nitric oxide (NO), antioxidant capacity and malondialdehyde (MDA) concentrations. Results: The results showed that anethole increased the delay in the onset of seizures, decreased the amount of nitrite in the brain, enhanced antioxidant capacity, and reduced MDA content in a dose-dependent manner. Conclusion: Overall, our results indicated the anticonvulsant effects of anethole that could be mediated by inhibiting oxidative stress. Keywords Seizure Mouse Pentylenetetrazole Anethol
