Abstract

Digital currency is a special form of digital money based on cryptography. The cost and time of transferring digital currency to different places is less than the traditional method. In banking, the method of transferring Fiat currencies has created many risks for banks due to different prices, long transfer time and high cost of Swift fees. The main purpose of this study was to provide a model for estimating the rate of return and risk of banks 'foreign exchange portfolio in Iran and to evaluate the effect of adding digital currencies to the banks' portfolio in terms of rate of return, risk and optimization using Value At Risk (VAR). To examine the extent of changes in banks' foreign exchange portfolio risk in combination with digital currencies, first the return and risk of a foreign exchange portfolio used in Iranian banks are calculated and optimized the using Value At Risk (VAR); then, by selecting a number of digital currencies and adding them to the foreign exchange portfolio of banks, the returns and risk related to the new portfolio are calculated and optimized using Lingo software. The results of the study show a reduction in the risk of the new portfolio.

Abstract

Financial markets, especially the capital market, may have strong links with other economic sectors. One of the most important aspects of investment is to determine the “optimal investment portfolio”. To date, some research has been conducted to determine the optimal portfolio with” artificial intelligence” and “Fuzzy Logic”. However, we determine the optimal portfolio based on Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) model. This study examines the design and calibration of the new Keynesian dynamic stochastic equilibrium model related to an optimal investment portfolio and the effect of shocks such as productivity shocks and foreign exchange earnings’ fluctuation shocks on macroeconomic variables. To this end, we design a DSGE model with sectors of households and firms, government and the central bank, and calibrate the model’s parameters after logarithm–Linearization using seasonal data of 1996-2016 and results of empirical studies. In the designed model, households maintain a portfolio of stocks, cash, securities, and other assets based on risk and return or an optimal portfolio. In the end, we assess the impulse response function of economic variables to shocks of productivity and foreign exchange earnings. Ultimately, the comparison of the present moments in the current study and moments of real data indicates the relative success of the model with regard to the realities of Iranian economy.
