Because of the dependency between the performances of different sectors in economy, instability in banking sector will lead to disorder in all the other economic sectors. Marketization can influence banking stability. The primary objective of the present study is to investigate the relationship between marketization and banking stability in Iran. This study investigates the effect of institutional quality on the relationship between marketization and banking stability. Accordingly, the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) and Panel Threshold Regression (PTR) techniques were used to estimate the models. The results of GMM indicated a decrease in banking stability after marketization. An improvement in institutional quality, however, could improve the relationship between marketization and banking stability. The results obtained by the PTR analysis revealed that institutional quality had a threshold value which could affect the relationship between marketization and banking stability and led to different relationships between marketization and banking stability under different regimes %U https://ijes.shirazu.ac.ir/article_4969_3d404091628c36fd6244dbed1324c386.pdf
