Abstract

Due to the variety of stress Occurance in financial markets and its impact on various sectors of the economy, efficient models and indicators to deal with crisis events and reduce their effects, are needed. In the present study, the effect of financial stress on the growth of economic sectors (including agriculture, industry and services) in Iran is on the agenda. For this purpose, we used the quarterly data (1370:1-1396:4) and applied the method of principal component analysis, credit weighting and EGARCH to estimate multidimensional price & quantitative indicators of financial stress "inter" and "intra" different parts of the financial system (including the banking system, stock markets and foreign exchange). Then, we investigated the effect of financial stress on sectoral growth using the Markov-switching model. The results indicate that despite the periods of severe financial stress in Iran, its impact on the growth of agriculture, industry and services sectors are negligible or in most cases insignificant. It seems that this issue is mainly rooted in the inappropriate performance of the nominal sector and its insignificant effect on the real sector of the economy during the period under study.
