Investigating the relationship between the monetary policy shock through the exchange rate channel on the management quality index in the banking system: by examining the productiv... by Farhad Sharifi Bagha, Jafar Haqiqat, Zahra Karimi Takanloo

“…Therefore, using 96 variables of seasonal time series data affecting the management quality index within the bank productivity approach which is one of the most important indicators of assessing the health of the banking system, and employing the factor-added empirical model (FAVAR), the effect of monetary policy via the exchange rate channel on the management quality index in the banking system was investigated during the period of 1378:1-1401:4</p> <p style="text-align: left;">In order to investigate the mechanism of the impact of monetary policy shocks via exchange rate channel on the variables affecting the health of the banking system, the two-stage method of principal components was used. Therefore, first, the following equation was estimated without considering the Yt vector, based on which the number of optimal factors was selected. …”
