Book Description
"This paper reviews, appraises, and critiques theoretical and empirical research on the connections between the operation of the financial system and economic growth. While subject to ample qualifications and countervailing views, the preponderance of evidence suggests that both financial intermediaries and markets matter for growth and that reverse causality alone is not driving this relationship. Furthermore, theory and evidence imply that better developed financial systems ease external financing constraints facing firms, which illuminates one mechanism through which financial development influences economic growth. The paper highlights many areas needing additional research"--NBER website

Financial Development and Industrial Capital Accumulation
Author: Biagio Bossone
Publisher: World Bank Publications
ISBN:
Category : Acumulacion de capital
Languages : en
Pages : 32
Book Description
There may be a compelling discontinuity to financial sector development in that banks need to be supported early in development but need to be "weakened" later, at the expense of bank rents, to foster further development. The important question for policy is when and how to generate and manage this discontinuity so that it is not forced on society by costly and traumatic events such as bank failures.

Finance, Financial Sector Policies, and Long-run Growth
Author: Asli Demirguc-Kunt
Publisher: World Bank Publications
ISBN:

Languages : en
Pages : 82
Book Description
Abstract: The first part of this paper reviews the literature on the relation between finance and growth. The second part of the paper reviews the literature on the historical and policy determinants of financial development. Governments play a central role in shaping the operation of financial systems and the degree to which large segments of the financial system have access to financial services. The paper discusses the relationship between financial sector policies and economic development.

Capital in the American Economy
Author: Simon Smith Kuznets
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 1400879728
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 694
Book Description
An examination of long-term trends in capital formation and financing in the U.S., this study is organized primarily around the principal capital-using sectors of the economy: agriculture, mining and manufacturing, public utilities, non-farm residential real estate, and government. The analysis summarizes major trends in real capital formation and financing, and the factors that determined the trends. Originally published in 1961. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Book Description
There may be a compelling discontinuity to financial sector development in that banks need to be supported early in development but need to be weakened later - at the expense of bank rents - to foster further development. The important question for policy is when and how to generate and manage this discontinuity so that it is not forced on society by costly and traumatic events such as bank failures.In an economy where decisions are decentralized and made under conditions of uncertainty, the financial system can be seen as the complex of institutions, infrastructure, and instruments that society adopts to minimize the costs of trading promises when agents have incomplete trust and limited information.Building on a microeconomic general equilibrium model that portrays such fundamental financial functions, Bossone shows that, in line with recent empirical evidence, the development of financial infrastructure stimulates greater and more efficient capital accumulation.He also shows that economies with more developed financial infrastructure can more easily absorb exogenous shocks to output.The results call for addressing a crucial issue in the sequencing of reform in the financial sector: early in development, banks provide essential financial infrastructure services as part of their exclusive relationships with borrowers. Further economic development requires that such services be provided extrinsically to the bank-borrower relationship, clearly at the expense of bank rents.There may be a compelling discontinuity to financial sector development in that banks need to be supported early in development but to be weakened later - at the expense of bank rents - to foster further development. The important question for policy is when and how to generate and manage this discontinuity so that it is not forced on society by costly and traumatic events such as bank failures.This paper - a product of the Financial Economics Unit, Financial Sector Practice Department - is part of a larger effort in the department to study the links between financial sector and economic development and improve financial sector reform policies.

Multisector Growth Models
Author: Terry L. Roe
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 0387773584
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 333
Book Description
The primary objective of this book is to advance the state of the art in specifying and ?tting to data structural multi-sector dynamic macroeconomic models, and empirically implementing them. The fundamental construct upon which we build is the Ramsey model. A most attractive feature of this model is the insights it provides into the dynamics of an economy in tr- sition to long-run equilibrium. With some exceptions, Ramsey models are highly aggregated – typically single sector models. However, interest often lies in understanding the forces of e- nomic growth across multiple sectors of an economy and on how policy impacts likely play out over time. Such analyses call for moredisaggregatedmodelsthatcanbe?ttocountryorregional data.Thisbookshowshowto:(i)extendthebasicmodeltom- tiple sectors, (ii) how to adapt the basic model to account for policy instruments, and (iii) ?t the model to data, and obtain equilibrium values both forward and backward in time from the data points to which the model is initially ?t.

Banking Systems Around the Globe
Author: James R. Barth
Publisher: World Bank Publications
ISBN:
Category : Bank
Languages : en
Pages : 66
Book Description
Empirical results highlight the downside of imposing certain regulatory restrictions on commercial bank activities. Regulations that restrict banks' ability to engage in securities activities and to own nonfinancial firms are closely associated with more instability in the banking sector, and keeping commercial banks from engaging in investment banking, insurance, and real estate activities does not appear to produce positive benefits.

Finance matters. The level of a country's financial development helps predict its rate of economic growth for the following 10 to 30 years. The data are consistent with Schumpeter's view that services provided by financial intermediaries stimulate long- run growth.

Too Much Finance?
Author: Mr.Jean-Louis Arcand
Publisher: International Monetary Fund
ISBN: 1475526105
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 50
Book Description
This paper examines whether there is a threshold above which financial development no longer has a positive effect on economic growth. We use different empirical approaches to show that there can indeed be "too much" finance. In particular, our results suggest that finance starts having a negative effect on output growth when credit to the private sector reaches 100% of GDP. We show that our results are consistent with the "vanishing effect" of financial development and that they are not driven by output volatility, banking crises, low institutional quality, or by differences in bank regulation and supervision.

Comparing Financial Systems

Book Description
Why do different countries have such different financial systems? Is one system better than the other? This text argues that the view that market-based systems are best is simplistic, and suggests that a more nuanced approach is necessary.
