中国区域金融发展差异与地区经济发展——基于我国东西部面板数据的实证分析

本文基于我国东、西部1978—2007年省际面板数据,运用面板单位根检验、协整检验及误差修正模型,对我国东、西部区域金融发展与其产业结构、城市化及经济增长之间的长期和短期关系进行了比较研究。研究表明,东西部区域金融发展与其产业结构、城市化及经济增长之间关系具有明显的区域差异:(1)东部的金融发展,不论在长期还是短期,均能助推其产业结构优化升级、城市化进程和经济增长,但在促进经济增长过程中也带来了通货膨胀的负效应;(2)西部的金融发展在长期能引导产业结构升级、城市化进程及经济增长,但短期因果关系不成立;(3)西部金融发展对城市化的边际贡献较小。在此基础上,提出了相应政策建议。     

中国金融发展与经济增长关系的实证研究

文章对金融发展与经济增长之间的关系进行了实证检验,检验结果表明金融发展与经济增长之间存在显著的正向关系,金融发展促进了经济增长。这就需要对金融政策改革以更好的推动经济增长。     

山东省金融发展对经济增长影响的实证研究

基于金融发展与经济增长的关系理论,运用1952-2011年的时间序列数据,通过单位根检验、协整检验、误差修正模型、脉冲响应分析,对山东省金融发展的经济效应进行了实证检验。结果显示,新中国成立以来,山东省的金融发展没有很好地发挥对经济增长的促进作用,与经济增长存在负向关系,但是经济增长却对金融发展产生了积极影响。这说明山东省金融发展与经济增长没有进入到良性互动发展状态,而政府的投资是山东省经济增长的推动力。在此基础上,本文提出了促进山东省金融与经济良性互动发展的政策建议。     

中国金融发展、经济增长与投资规模

本文选取了中国2000-2010年省级面板数据,探讨了中国金融发展与经济增长和质量,以及投资规模和效率的关系。实证结果表明,中国金融发展对经济增长和投资规模具有正向的影响,而对以全要素生产率为代表的经济增长质量和以产出与投资比为代表的投资效率具有负相关关系,表明中国金融发展贡献仍有提升空间,依据实证结果提出有依据的政策建议,即保持金融发展速度同时重视质量的改善。     

区域金融对区域经济影响的实证分析——基于浙江11个地市面板数据的研究

本文利用浙江省11个地市1996年-2008年的面板数据,运用面板单位根检验和协整检验,从区域金融发展对经济增长的影响出发,对浙江各地市进行了实证分析。从长期来看,金融发展对经济增长具有较大的推动作用,但区域经济的自发增长性存在明显差异。在此基础上,提出了针对区域金融的相关政策建议。     

政府质量与金融发展关系的实证研究——来自中国的经验分析

中国的行政与财政分权为地方政府官员提供了一种特殊的激励机制,出于对政治前途的考虑,其有动机去制定好的政策,推动地方经济增长和金融发展.本文以1999-2007年我国30个省、自治区、直辖市的面板数据为样本,检验了地方政府质量对地区金融发展的影响,以期为研究转型经济背景下我国地区金融发展的决定因素提供借鉴,也为探索政府质量与金融发展之间的关系提供经验证据.     

区域金融发展与经济增长的实证关系研究——基于东部沿海地区和西部地区

通过建立面板数据模型，对东南沿海地区和西部地区1990—2015年的数据进行实证检验。检验结果表明，地区金融发展对经济增长的作用具有一定的差异性，金融深化率的发展、保险市场完善、固定资产投资、物价水平对经济增长具有积极作用；而金融中介率、地区开放程度尚未完全发挥对经济增长的促进作用。

文章通过建立稳定的VAR模型和误差修正模型试图对金融发展和经济增长的关系进行实证研究,并以云南省为切入点,基于云南省1990-2009年的金融发展与经济增长的相关历史数据,采用ADF检验、格兰杰因果关系检验与协整检验多种方法对云南省的金融发展与经济增长的关系进行探究,最终得出云南省金融发展与经济增长存在显著的长期平稳关系,金融资源运行效率与云南省经济增长呈正相关关系,金融规模与云南省经济增长之间存在负相关关系的结论。     

山西省民间金融与经济增长的因果关系检验

在金融发展日益昌盛的情况下,通过对山西省及北京市1999——2015年间金融发展与经济增长的数据研究,分析了山西省民间金融的发展现状。利用Granger因果关系检验,检验了山西省民间金融与经济增长之间的关系,结果显示山西省的民间金融发展不是经济增长的原因,但是山西省的经济增长是民间金融发展的原因。     

宁波金融与经济发展相关性分析及政策建议

研究金融发展对经济增长所起的作用，是客观认识金融在宁波经济中的地位以及进一步促进金融发展的前提。本文通过对宁波市1995—2004年间金融发展与经济增长的格兰杰因果关系检验，得出金融发展与经济增长之间存在单向的因果关系，即金融发展推动了宁波经济增长而经济增长没有反促进金融发展；回归结果显示，金融发展与经济增长呈显著正相关关系。并在对检验结果进行分析的基础上提出相关政策建议。     

Financial Development,Financial Structure,and the Growth Effect of Monetary Policy: International Evidence

This paper investigates how financial development and financial structure affect the growth effect of monetary policy using panel data from 49 countries over the period 1980–2014. We find robust evidence that financial development has a significantly negative impact on the growth effect of monetary policy. We also find that the growth effect of monetary policy tends to be more pronounced as the financial structure of a country becomes more market-based. These results not only add interesting new evidence to the recent literature on the growth effects of monetary policy, but also provide some important insights into the financial determinants of monetary policy effects on economic growth, which have largely been ignored in the previous literature.     

央行利率政策的门限转换特征及国际证据

本文利用亚太地区15个国家1992~2007年的面板数据研究了央行利率政策的门限转换特征。结论认为,通货膨胀对经济增长的影响存在显著的门限特征,各国央行的利率政策也存在显著的门限转换特征。在低通胀阶段,利率没有对经济增长与通货膨胀做出显著响应;但在高通胀阶段,央行首先致力于维护金融稳定,然后促进经济增长。文章对发达国家与发展中国家进行了比较,发现二者的利率政策表现出相似的特征,但发展中国家的利率政策倾向于更高的门限值;文章最后对中国利率政策的实施提出了相关政策建议。     

International trade and economic growth: evidence from a panel ARDL-PMG approach

The purpose of this work is to study the impact of trade openness on the economic growth of the countries bordering the Mediterranean using a panel of eight countries from 1975 to 2016. We apply ARDL panel which is a technique recently developed. We study the effects of openness to international trade on economic growth while incorporating economic policy variables. The results show that the variables of commercial and financial openness favor economic growth. The free trade agreements that the European Union has signed with certain countries in the Mediterranean basin are designed above all to encourage greater regional economic integration and an increase in their potential growth. Therefore, our findings show that the financial sector is slow to affect economic growth in these countries. This study reveals that human capital and the investment rate support the economic growth of our sample. In addition, we conclude that a process of economic convergence has begun in these countries. A causal analysis was carried out we found an unidirectional causality ranging from economic growth to trade openness.

     

Stock Markets,Banks and Long Run Economic Growth: A Panel Cointegration-Based Analysis

The aim of this paper is to investigate the long run relationship between the development of banks and stock markets and economic growth. We make use of a Johansen-based panel cointegration methodology allowing for cross-country dependence to test the number of cointegrating vectors among these three variables for 5 developing countries. In addition, we test the direction of potential causality between financial and economic development. Our results conclude to the existence of a single cointegrating vector between financial development and growth and of causality going from financial development to economic growth. We find little evidence of reverse causation as well as bi-directional causality. We interpret this as evidence supporting the significance of financial development for economic development although banks and stock markets may have different effects depending on the level of economic development.     

Rethinking the impact of GDP on financial development: Evidence from heterogeneous panels

This paper examines the nonlinear impact of real GDP per capita on financial development in a panel of 125 countries. It also determines the moderating effect of inflation on the impact of GDP on financial development. It employs the dynamic panel system generalized method of moments (GMM) and the dynamic common correlated effects (CCE) to do both panel and country‐specific analysis, as well as control for cross‐sectional dependence, heterogeneity and endogeneity. This study shows that GDP has a positive impact on financial development in the entire panel. However, when we split the panel into different income groups, we find a positive impact in the high‐ and middle‐income groups while the impact is insignificant in the low income group. Although we find no evidence of a nonlinear impact of GDP on financial development in the panel, the country‐specific analysis reveals a significant nonlinear relationship between GDP and financial development in 73 countries. We also show that inflation adversely moderates the positive impact of GDP on financial development in middle‐income countries. This study implies that the relationship between GDP and financial development depends on the levels of GDP and inflation rate. We recommend some policy options based on the findings.     

Financial development,institutions and industrialization in sub-Saharan Africa

Using a panel data covering more than 100 countries worldwide, we have estimated a dynamic panel model to investigate the relationship between financial development and manufacturing industries’ growth. More specifically, we have estimated the effect that institutional quality might have in this relationship in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The results show that lower quality institutions in SSA are a hindrance to the role financial development plays in the growth of the manufacturing industrial sector, as compared with developed countries. These findings are robust when a quantile regression model is used. Furthermore, the results confirm that the relationship between per capita GDP and industrialization is nonlinear. Finally, in SSA, the abundance of natural resources has an adverse effect on the manufacturing industrial value added, providing more evidence for the Dutch disease hypothesis.     

Financial Deepening and Economic Growth Linkages: A Panel Data Analysis

The paper examines whether a long-run relationship between financial development and economic growth exists employing panel integration and cointegration techniques for a dynamic heterogeneous panel of 15 OECD and 50 non-OECD countries over the period 1975–2000. Three different measures of financial deepening are used to capture the variety of different channels through which financial development can affect growth. Our findings support the existence of a single long-run equilibrium relation between financial deepening, economic growth and a set of control variables. Further, the evidence points to a bi-directional causality between financial deepening and growth. JEL no. O11, O16, C33     

自由贸易抑或贸易保护——国际贸易的经济增长效应再考察

全球经济复苏过程中,发达国家与新兴经济体之间关于自由贸易的争议也变得空前激烈。国际贸易是否有利于全球经济增长?这实际上是长期以来国际经济学与发展经济学领域颇具争议的问题之一,而在当下对这一问题进行重新审视更具有重要的现实意义。传统贸易理论对贸易合理性的探究尽管触及了经济增长问题,但在贸易静态收益理论的框架下,国际贸易究竟是否会促进一国经济增长,既取决于各个国家在各个发展阶段的经济增长究竟偏向于出口部门还是进口部门,也取决于各种贸易政策对各个部门的相对供给和相对需求的影响。本文对现有针对国际贸易与经济增长关系所做的实证研究作了系统回顾和分析总结,明确指出了目前各种看似矛盾的实证证据背后的理论和技术根源。在此基础上,运用两阶段最小二乘估计(2SLS)和GMM动态面板回归技术,对1960～2006年期间全球各国面板数据进行分析,对不同收入水平的国家组别分别就其贸易占GDP比重与GDP增长之间的关系进行实证检验。文章发现,上述实证研究证明国际贸易对经济增长的促进作用与一国经济发展阶段相关,但对不同收入水平的国家而言则存在差异,同时进口和出口在经济增长中的表现也存在差异性。总体来看,对中等收入国家而言,贸易占GDP比重与GDP增速之间的关系最强,进出口均有较强带动作用;高收入国家贸易占GDP比重与GDP增速之间关系较弱,进口的作用甚至大于出口;低收入国家贸易占GDP比重与GDP增速之间的关系最弱,进口甚至有抑制作用。     

How does housing wealth affect household consumption? Evidence from macro-data with special implications for China

Thanks to four-decade spectacular economic growth, China's households have been accumulating a stockpile of wealth. In such a context, further concerns have been raised about the relationship between wealth accumulation and improvement of economic well-being, mainly through consumption. The issue becomes even more important when considering the challenges facing China in recent years, which can be characterized by a mix of increasingly leveraged households, escalating housing price, sluggish consumption, slowing economic expansion, trade frictions with the United States, and the Covid-19 pandemic and resulting economic difficulties. With that background in mind, this paper first provides international evidence on the relationship between household consumption and wealth, especially in the form of houses. Drawing on a panel of aggregate data for fourteen countries including China, we find that household consumption positively responds to changes in housing wealth, and this link is further affected by different levels of government spending and financial development. We next relate the international evidence to the case of China, with the focus on some recent policy issues over housing regulations and consumption promotion. Importantly, as the evidence and underlying theories suggest, housing wealth-consumption association does not follow a simplistic pattern, and thus, multiple policy measures could and should be undertaken rather than merely curbing speculative activities in real estate exchanges and associated financial business.     

资本账户开放的门槛效应及路径研究

文章基于70个国家面板数据,实证检验了开放资本账户的增长效应。研究结果表明,资本账户开放具有国别差异,高收入国家开放资本账户的增长效应显著大于中低收入国家。在引入制度质量、货币政策、财政政策、对外开放度和金融发展5个初始条件指标建立动态门槛模型,研究发现,资本账户开放对经济增长的影响是非线性的,初始条件较低时资本账户开放不利于经济增长,当初始条件越过门槛值后,资本账户开放表现出积极的增长效应。结合跨境资本异质性和门槛效应,进一步发现开放直接投资的门槛最低,经济效应最大;开放债务投资的门槛最高,经济效应最小;开放股权投资的门槛效应介于前二者之间。经验分析为中国资本账户开放条件以及路径提供了参考。
