Book Synopsis Quantifying the Impact of Financial Development on Economic Development by : Jeremy Greenwood
Download or read book Quantifying the Impact of Financial Development on Economic Development written by Jeremy Greenwood and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2010-10 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How important is financial development for economic development? A costly state verification model of financial intermediation is presented to address this question. The model is calibrated to match facts about the U.S. economy, such as intermediation spreads and the firm-size distribution for the years 1974 and 2004. It is then used to study the international data, using cross-country interest-rate spreads and per-capita GDP. The analysis suggests that a country like Uganda could increase its output by 140 to 180 percent if it could adopt the world's best practice in the financial sector. Still, this amounts to only 34 to 40 percent of the gap between Uganda's potential and actual output. Charts and tables.

Book Synopsis The Influence and Effects of Financial Development on Economic Growth by : Susanne Rislå Andersen
Download or read book The Influence and Effects of Financial Development on Economic Growth written by Susanne Rislå Andersen and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines the empirical relationship between financial development and economic growth. The employed data set includes a representative selection of 60 countries over the period 1965-1997. To test the empirical relationship between finance and growth, I have used OLS regressions and three indicators of financial sector development. These indicators measure the financial sector by size (liquid liabilities) and activity (credit provided to the private sector and credit by banks). In accordance to earlier research, the financial sector plays an important part in economic growth as it can reduce the cost of acquiring information, conducting transactions and facilitating savings mobilisation. By providing these services, the financial sector can enhance resource allocation and increase aggregate savings. The study identifies three sets of findings. First, I run regressions by using financial indicators averaged over the period 1965-1997, and I find a positive statistical relationship between financial development and economic growth. The second finding is based on regressions with financial indicators measured in the initial year 1965. These regressions support the first findings, in addition to testing for the long-run effects and checking for causality. While the two first findings are in accordance with earlier studies, the third finding adds to previous research by controlling for the level of economic development. In the last regressions, the sample has been separated into different income groups, interacting with the three financial variables. Financial sector development seems to have at least the same importance in developing countries as in industrialised countries, especially concerning increased credit allocated to the private sector. Credit provided to the private sector seems to follow a path with increased influence associated with a decreased income level, and seems to be important for convergence and a country's economic growth.
Book Synopsis Financial Development and Source of Growth by : Mr.Sami Ben Naceur
Download or read book Financial Development and Source of Growth written by Mr.Sami Ben Naceur and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2017-06-30 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines how financial development affects the sources of growth—productivity and investment—using a sample of 145 countries for the period 1960-2011. We employ a range of econometric approaches, focusing on the CCA and MENA countries. The analysis looks beyond financial depth to capture the access, efficiency, stability, and openness dimensions of financial development. Yet even in this broad interpretation, financial development does not appear to be a magic bullet for economic growth. We cannot confirm earlier findings of an unambiguously positive relationship between financial development, investment, and productivity. The relationship is more complex. The influence of the different dimensions of financial development on the sources of growth varies across income levels and regions.

Book Synopsis Finance, Growth, and Inequality by : Mr. Ross Levine
Download or read book Finance, Growth, and Inequality written by Mr. Ross Levine and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2021-06-11 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finance and growth emerged as a distinct field of economics during the last three decades as economists integrated the fields of finance and economic growth and then explored the ramifications of the functioning of financial systems on economic growth, income distribution, and poverty. In this paper, I review theoretical and empirical research on the connections between the operation of the financial system and economic growth and inequality. While subject to ample qualifications, the preponderance of evidence suggests that (1) financial development—both the development of banks and stock markets—spurs economic growth and (2) better functioning financial systems foster growth primarily by improving resource allocation and technological change, not by increasing saving rates. Some research also suggests that financial development expands economic opportunities and tightens income distribution, primarily by boosting the incomes of the poor. This work implies that financial development fosters growth by expanding opportunities. Finally, and more tentatively, financial innovation—improvements in the ability of financial systems to ameliorate information and transaction costs—may be necessary for sustaining growth.
Book Synopsis Financial Development and Economic Growth by : C. Goodhart
Download or read book Financial Development and Economic Growth written by C. Goodhart and published by Springer. This book was released on 2004-06-13 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most successful economies have the best working financial markets. While causation obviously runs in both directions, current research has increasingly emphasized the role of finance in promoting growth. Here seven leading financial economists explore the links between financial development and growth. The book seeks to answer the question of the role of finance in promoting sustainable growth and in the reduction of poverty, for example via micro-financial institutions.
Book Synopsis An Empirical Reassessment of the Relationship Between Finance and Growth by : Mr.Giovanni Favara
Download or read book An Empirical Reassessment of the Relationship Between Finance and Growth written by Mr.Giovanni Favara and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2003-06-01 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper reexamines the empirical relationship between financial development and economic growth. It presents evidence based on cross-section and panel data using an updated dataset, a variety of econometric methods, and two standard measures of financial development: the level of liquid liabilities of the banking system and the amount of credit issued to the private sector by banks and other financial institutions. The paper identifies two sets of findings. First, in contrast with the recent evidence of Levine, Loayza, and Beck (2001), cross-section and panel-data-instrumental-variables regressions reveal that the relationship between financial development and economic growth is, at best, weak. Second, there is evidence of nonlinearities in the data, suggesting that finance matters for growth only at intermediate levels of financial development. Moreover, using a procedure appropriately designed to estimate long-run relationships in a panel with heterogeneous slope coefficients, there is no clear indication that finance spurs economic growth. Instead, for some specifications, the relationship is, puzzlingly, negative.
Book Synopsis Financial Development and Economic Growth by : Mr.Mohsin S. Khan

This book was released on 2000-12-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years there has been substantial theoretical and empirical work on the role that financial markets play in fostering economic growth and development. This paper provides a selective review of the literature, as well as new empirical evidence on the relationship between financial development and economic growth for a large cross-section sample of countries. While the results indicate that the effect of financial development on growth is positive, the size of the effect varies with different indicators of financial development, estimation method, data frequency, and the functional form of the relationship.

Book Synopsis Identifying Constraints to Financial Inclusion and Their Impact on GDP and Inequality: A Structural Framework for Policy by : Ms. Era Dabla-Norris
Download or read book Identifying Constraints to Financial Inclusion and Their Impact on GDP and Inequality: A Structural Framework for Policy written by Ms. Era Dabla-Norris and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2015-01-27 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We develop a micro-founded general equilibrium model with heterogeneous agents to identify pertinent constraints to financial inclusion. We evaluate quantitatively the policy impacts of relaxing each of these constraints separately, and in combination, on GDP and inequality. We focus on three dimensions of financial inclusion: access (determined by the size of participation costs), depth (determined by the size of collateral constraints resulting from limited commitment), and intermediation efficiency (determined by the size of interest rate spreads and default possibilities due to costly monitoring). We take the model to a firm-level data from the World Bank Enterprise Survey for six countries at varying degrees of economic development—three low-income countries (Uganda, Kenya, Mozambique), and three emerging market countries (Malaysia, the Philippines, and Egypt). The results suggest that alleviating different financial frictions have a differential impact across countries, with country-specific characteristics playing a central role in determining the linkages and tradeoffs between inclusion, GDP, inequality, and the distribution of gains and losses.
Book Synopsis Powering the Digital Economy: Opportunities and Risks of Artificial Intelligence in Finance by : El Bachir Boukherouaa
Download or read book Powering the Digital Economy: Opportunities and Risks of Artificial Intelligence in Finance written by El Bachir Boukherouaa and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2021-10-22 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper discusses the impact of the rapid adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in the financial sector. It highlights the benefits these technologies bring in terms of financial deepening and efficiency, while raising concerns about its potential in widening the digital divide between advanced and developing economies. The paper advances the discussion on the impact of this technology by distilling and categorizing the unique risks that it could pose to the integrity and stability of the financial system, policy challenges, and potential regulatory approaches. The evolving nature of this technology and its application in finance means that the full extent of its strengths and weaknesses is yet to be fully understood. Given the risk of unexpected pitfalls, countries will need to strengthen prudential oversight.
Book Synopsis Finance, Firm Size, and Growth by : Thorsten Beck
Download or read book Finance, Firm Size, and Growth written by Thorsten Beck and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although research shows that financial development accelerates aggregate economic growth, economists have not resolved conflicting theoretical predictions and ongoing policy disputes about the cross-firm distributional effects of financial development. Using cross-industry, cross-country data, the results are consistent with the view that financial development exerts a disproportionately positive effect on small firms. These results have implications for understanding the political economy of financial sector reform.
Book Synopsis Finance, Inequality, and Poverty by : Thorsten Beck
Download or read book Finance, Inequality, and Poverty written by Thorsten Beck and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While substantial research finds that financial development boosts overall economic growth, the authors study whether financial development is pro-poor: Does financial development disproportionately raise the income of the poor? Using a broad cross-country sample, the authors find that the answer is yes: Financial intermediary development reduces income inequality by disproportionately boosting the income of the poor and therefore reduces poverty. This result is robust to controlling for simultaneity bias and reverse causation.
