Abstract

In this study, we analyze the fiscal and monetary policies in Iran using an open DSGE model in which the central bank’s policy is in the form of a McCallum rule. We estimate the structural parameters using the Bayesian method and the quarterly time series data for the period 1369 – 1394 (1990-2015).  To check the validity of the results, we use the Monte Carlo Markov Chain statistics, Gelman – Brooks statistics, and also compare prior and posterior distribution functions. The results indicate a good fit of the model with the data . The simulation results also show that fiscal and monetary policies have real impacts on variables in the short run.
