The effect of monetary policy on financial development through the asset price channel

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the mechanism of monetary transmission through the asset price channel in financial development. In this regard, the impact of monetary policy through housing price and stock price channel has been evaluated by using seasonal data of 110 economic variables during 1991:1-2016:4 and FAVAR model. The results of the impulse response functions indicate that in the medium-term and long-term housing price channel increased production, but also had significant inflationary effects in the short and medium term. Also, given the significant impact of the stock price channel on production, it can be said that the capital market has an important role in directing resources and funds towards productive activities, which ultimately increases investment and production. Based on the results and the significant role of the stock price channel in transmitting monetary shocks to the price level, it can be said that this channel plays a significant role in reducing inflationary effects of monetary policy.
