Investment is counted as motivate of economic growth and development and is the fundamental economic purpose in every country. Recognition of effects of monetary and financial policy on economic activities needed to cognition of these policies and there instruments. Therefore the purpose of this paper is to examine the effects of changes in monetary policy of governments on investment, selected from Islamic countries using the method of econometric estimation of panel data over the period 2015-2000. The results of this study indicate that interest rates on government bonds have a negative and significant effect and banking credit has positively and significantly effect on investment in Islamic countries, while deposit interest rate has no significant effect on investment. Based on the results, economic growth and trade significantly increased investment. Therefore, according to the research results of Islamic countries, with the growth of economic growth and the volume of trade, including exports and imports, especially the import of capital goods and intermediaries, they can have a direct impact on investment. Therefore interest rate and deposit interest rate can not be suitable monetary policy instruments in Islamic countries. While banking credit can significantly affects investment. Manuscript profile

Statistical Arbitrage Strategies are looking for profitable opportunities using statistical methods. In this paper, we use a new approach to devise a statistical arbitrage strategy in Iran’s stock exchange market. In this new approach, instead of model and forecast stock prices independently, we take them as a whole and extract their common movement patterns, which can represent the general market movements, with principal component analysis. After that, we model and forecast these patterns (factors) and through them, we forecast the stock returns. Ultimately, we construct portfolios from chosen stocks in each period. Empirical result of this paper show the profitability of these strategies. chosen strategy, with time window of 100 days and forecasting horizon of 1 day could made the average annual return of 115%, without considering the transaction costs.

Value at Risk is one of the most important criteria in financial markets for risk assessment. Various methods have been proposed for measuring this index. Extreme Value Theory is one of the new methods for calculating the value at risk that focuses on Distribution sequence of series, and instead of taking all data into account without considering the limiting assumptions such as the assumption of normalization. In this research, the logarithmic return of Tehran Stock Exchange index based on the data received during the time intervals of the day (due to the use of high frequency data) during the years 1392 to 1395 was summed up and the Block Maxima Approach was used in VaR measurement. Given the correlation between the variance and the time series of the data, the problem was first solved using the E-GARCH model. Then VaR index was calculated in three blocking conditions based on hourly, daily and monthly data. The results showed that the use of monthly data in calculating this index has a higher predictive accuracy. Manuscript profile

An installment option is a European option in which the holder pays the option as a series of payments instead of paying all up-front. If all payments pay, the holder will be able to exercise the option at maturity time. However, the installment option will be terminated even if one installment is not paid. This study is divided into two sections. First, the importance of installment option is studied; the relationship between installment option and Venture Capital is explained; and it is studied how BLS model is failed to evaluate the installment option. As the exact evaluation of installment option is extremely complicated and usually intractable, Monte Carlo simulation and Least Squares (LS) have been applied to evaluate installment option. Second, the three optimum values, function type, number of base variables and number of simulated path, as important factors on this method are calculated. So, numerical valuation converges to exact solution. Manuscript profile

Markovitz's risk-taking model is to select stocks based on historical asset data. In addition to the impact of historical returns, there are many other critical factors that directly or indirectly affect the stock market. The present study first uses the Fuzzy Delphi method to identify critical factors and ultimately considers factors with low correlation coefficients. Critical factors and historical data were used to adapt Dempestor-Schafer evidence theory for stock rankings. Then, in the sampling model, stocks with a higher rank are proposed. Sampling was carried out using stock held on Tehran Stock Exchange and simulated by optimization of colonization of ant. The performance of the results is satisfactory in comparison with the recent performance of assets. Manuscript profile

Regarding the limitation of resources and as a result of increasing importance of increase in investment efficiency and the important role of working capital in the business of the economic corporations, this study is devoted to the relationship between financial constraint and investment efficiency and working capital strategy. Financial data of 171 firms in the time period of 2011-2016 is studied in this research. According to the conducted analyses of the first hypothesis, financial constraint has a positive and meaningful effect on inefficiency of the investment. The second hypothesis showed that financial constraint has no meaningful relationship with the working capital policies .The third hypothesis shows a positive and meaningful relationship between financial constraint and investment inefficiency in companies adopting risky strategies and finally the fourth hypothesis showed no meaningful relationship between financial constraint and investment inefficiency in companies adopting a conservative policy. The general conclusions show that a limitation in resourcing will entail a deviation from favorite investment. Also, the unwanted effect of the financial constraint on effective investment occurs only in companies with risky strategies of working capital and it does not exist in companies with conservative strategies.     Manuscript profile

The paper examines the relationship between earnings quality and leverage deficit, as well as the impact of earnings quality on equity financing choice for under- and over-leveraged firms. Considering external financing and its components, equity and debt, and both accrual-based and real earnings management, we further examine the effect of earnings quality and leverage deficit on financing choice and activities. In this regard, a sample of 125 companies listed in the Tehran Stock Exchange during the years 1390 to 1395 (750 views) was selected and tested by using the linear regression and logistic regression model. The results show that there is no correlation between financial leverage deficit and poor earnings quality. Also, for under- and over- financial leveraged firms, there is also no relationship between the quality of profit and financing through the issuance of stocks. Other findings of the study showed that companies with a over-financial leverage compared with companies with a financial leverage deficit, before financing by issuing stocks, manage their earnings through accruals and real items to make them more convenient to sell their stocks. On the other hand, in over-financial leveraged firms, there was no correlation between debt financing and earnings management through accruals and real items. compared to under-financial leveraged firms.

In accordance with Basel Committee definition, Operational Risk is the exposure of inadequacy of the processes, people and internal systems or external events. Operational risk management is an ongoing process in the organization, although implementation of enterprise risk management depends on goal setting, planning and organizing. There are some barriers and obstacles against the efforts for operational risk management that this research firstly wants to identify, then prioritize them using a qualitative method namely Delphi method and Friedman test as a Non-parametric method respectively. If risk managers find the main obstacles that prevent the implementation of operational risk management, they could easily control them. Manuscript profile

The optimization of the stock portfolio and the allocation of wealth between the various assets are among the most important issues in investing.In this study, the problem of optimizing stock portfolios, considering the real world constraints and with the assumption that the return on risky assets of fuzzy numbers is composed. Then, a new probabilistic model of mean-semi absolute deviation was presented in which transaction cost and cardinality constraints were also considered. The existence of such constraints transforms the model into a mixed-integer non-linear programming model that traditional approaches fail to solve, for this purpose a new meta-heuristic algorithm called the Unconscious Search Algorithm is used to solve the problem. Unconscious Search algorithm is a new algorithm based on Freud's psychoanalysis theory. In order to investigate the power and accuracy of solving this algorithm, a case study was carried out with the information of 50 top Tehran Stock Exchanges for years 2012 to 2016. The results were compared with Particle Swarm Optimization and Genetic algorithms, which showed the superiority of this algorithm in the optimization problem of Stock portfolio. Manuscript profile

Money and monetary policy, on the one hand, are the source of economic activity and on the other hand, the value of money and the speed of its circulation are influenced by the conditions and economic activities. According to many scholars, the criterion of the importance of money is that it can have a decisive impact on the economical structure of the countries. Along with this approach the present study is looking for to determine and quantify the effect of the real value of money on Iran's gross domestic product, it will be a useful guide for policy makers to properly plan future programs. According to objectives this research is practical and according to the methodology inductive reasoning and the research design is retrospective study; the time period for doing this research is 1991- 2016. In this study, inferential statistics were used to analyze the relationship between variables. Accordingly, based on theoretical foundations and various studies which have been carried out both inside and outside the country, all the variables that influenced the Iran Stock Exchange were identified.In the following, according to the statistical characteristics of the variables, the Autoregressive Distributed Lag(ARDL) was selected as an appropriate econometric model. Based on the real value of money, short-term and long-term money does not have a significant effect on gross domestic product; but government expenditures, exports, imports and exchange rates have a positive and significant impact on Iran Stock Exchange over the short term and in the long termperiod. The results also indicated that the error correction model (ECM) coefficient in the study was about 0. 347; in other words, about 34.7 percent of the Iran Stock Exchange's imbalance variable from its long-term values disappears after a period of time. Accordingly, if the Iran Stock Exchange exits from the initial equilibrium due to the shock, 3 courses of time are needed to correct short-term imbalances and gross domestic product will return to the original long-term equilibrium.

Economic uncertainty is an unpredictable changes in economic variables that can have a large impact on other variables and economic entities such as banks and credit institutions, especially in developing countries such as Iran. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of economic uncertainty on credit risk, performance and lending decisions of banks. For this purpose, firstly, the effective variables on bank lending decisions were separated into three indicators (credit risk, performance, and lending rates). Also, economic uncertainty was measured using the standard deviation of six variables (exchange rate, annual interest rate, GDP, national income growth rate, ratio of oil sales to national income, tax rate to national income), then research data in the period of five For the year 1390-1394, for 13 banks accepted in the Tehran Stock Exchange, they were assembled by performing different tests, distinguishing between specific bank and macroeconomic variables, from the variability of the research variables. Finally, estimating the econometric model with panel data technology showed that in the first model, the economic uncertainty variable had a positive and significant effect on the credit risk of banks. Also, in the second model, economic uncertainty has a positive effect on the performance of banks, and finally, in the third model, there was no significant relationship between economic uncertainty and the level of bank lending.
