The behavior of investors in all economic sectors, including the housing sector, is based on the two focuses of risk and rate of return. One of the factors that can affect the behavior of private sector investors in housing is the exchange rate. The evidence of Iran's economy shows that all types of assets such as housing can be affected by exchange rate changes in the informal market. The informal exchange rate (dollar) has faced six serial shocks in the years after the imposed war in Iran. Accordingly, and considering the importance of the subject, in this study, the asymmetric effects of the informal exchange rate on private sector investment in Iran's housing in the period of 1978-2021 have been investigated. The results of model estimation using nonlinear autoregressive distribution lag (NARDL) approach indicate that the effect of informal exchange rate on private sector investment in Iran's housing is asymmetric in short-run and long-run. In fact, short-run and long-run increases in the informal exchange rate have a positive and significant effect on private sector investment in Iran's housing, and decreases do not have a significant effect.
