A Study on the Effect of Financial Inclusion on the Relationship Between Income Inequality and Economic Growth

In this article, we attempt to estimate whether financial inclusion, expressed as financial accessibility, has a positive effect on reducing income inequality. Furthermore, we estimate the effect of such financial inclusion on economic growth by reducing income inequality. From the results of our empirical analysis, we can draw the following three conclusions. First, income inequality has a very negative effect on GDP growth. The negative relationship between income inequality and GDP growth is strong in low-income countries. In addition, income inequality has a stronger effect on reducing economic growth in high-fragility countries. Second, progressivity is not a major factor in reducing income inequality in low-income countries or in high-fragility countries. Finally, financial inclusion improves the relationship between income inequality and economic growth. The reduction in income inequality through financial inclusion changes the negative relationship between income inequality and economic growth into a positive relationship. This trend is stronger in high-fragility countries than in low-fragility countries.     

The Impact of Bank and Non-Bank Financial Institutions on Local Economic Growth in China

This paper provides evidence on the relationship between finance and growth in a fast growing country, such as China. Employing data of 27 Chinese provinces over the period 1995–2003, we study whether the financial development of two different types of financial institutions — banks and non-banks — have a (significantly different) impact on local economic growth. Our findings indicate that banking development shows a statistically significant and economically more pronounced impact on local economic growth.     

我国各省区市金融发展的经济增长效应分析——基于面板数据的时变趋势与区域特征分析

基于31个省区市1994-2005年的经济金融面板数据的实证分析发现.金融规模扩张、结构优化、效率提升确实有助于促进经济增长,且效率提升比规模扩张更有助于促进地区经济增长.金融发展的经济增长效应存在着区域差异,且受各省区市的地区性基础或禀赋因素的影响较大.随着金融体制改革的推进,各地区金融发展对经济发展的适应性逐步增强,但仍受到金融体制的约束,需要进一步深化改革,加快发展.为此,要充分发挥中央政府主导金融制度供给与创新、地方政府主导当地金融生态建设和市场主导金融资源配置的基础性作用,将统筹区域金融协调发展与部分省区市金融率先发展有机统一起来.     

Financial Intermediation and Economic Growth in China: New Evidence from Panel Data

In this article, we investigate the relationship between financial intermediation and economic growth in China by employing system Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) estimators for dynamic panel data from twenty-eight Chinese provinces over the period 1978–2008. Our empirical results show that various measures of financial development are generally associated with economic growth. More specifically, the size and depth of the financial sector significantly influence economic growth. However, household saving is found to have a negative, but insignificant, effect on economic growth. Finally, we find that although several control variables show the expected signs, they are not always statistically significant. Human capital, openness to trade, and inflation positively influence economic growth.     

中国各地区金融发展与经济增长的关系分析

本文通过对全国31个省市自治区1978-2008年的金融发展与经济增长的面板数据分析发现:金融发展与经济增长总体呈现很强的正相关,但由于各地的经济基础不同,各地区之问差异较大.总体来说,东部地区金融发展对经济增长的推动作用较强,而中西部地区金融发展对经济增长的促进作用较弱,这可以解释为较高的金融发展水平对经济增长的促进作用就较强.因此,政府应加大对中西部资金支持和政策倾斜力度.     

Does sukuk market development spur economic growth?

We investigate the impact of sukuk market development on economic growth using a sample comprising all sukuk-issuing countries spanning the period 1995–2015. We use the system GMM estimator to tackle potential omitted variable bias, endogeneity, and simultaneity issues. We report a strong and robust evidence that sukuk market development is conducive to economic growth, even after controlling for various measures of financial market development, institutional quality, and classical determinants of economic growth. In addition, the evidence does not support the well-known positive association between financial development and economic growth. We conclude that the development of sukuk markets may have promoted financial inclusion by eliminating the negative effects of religious self-exclusion, which stimulates investment and economic growth.     

“互联网＋”、普惠金融与经济增长-基于面板数据的PVAR模型实证检验

运用多元测算方法和主成分分析法获取我国31个地区2008-2014年“互联网+”、普惠金融和经济增长相关变量数据,借助面板向量自回归模型(PVAR)研究三类变量间的动态关系,实证研究发现:“互联网+”和普惠金融对经济增长的影响程度相当,经济增长对“互联网+”的影响较大,而对普惠金融影响相对较小.微观上看,三者之间正向作用已经存在,普惠金融对城镇化率和贸易开放度驱动的经济增长具有正向促进作用,“互联网+”对普惠金融发展、城镇化率和贸易开放度驱动的经济增长也具有正向促进作用,因此,需要各经济主体加强基础性投入、注重精准化投入并做到长期坚持以促进三者协同发展.但从长期看,普惠金融对“互联网+”和经济增长率和居民消费价格指数驱动的经济增长存在负面冲击,“互联网+”对经济增长率和居民消费价格指数驱动的经济增长也具有微弱的负面冲击,因此,需要政府层面加强统一监管并积极理顺三者之间的关系,以消除其中的摩擦因素.     

The short-run relationship between the financial system and economic growth: New evidence from regional panels

In this paper, we examine the impact of the financial system on economic growth for a panel of 65 developing countries. The novelty of our paper is that we examine these relationships for various regional panels. Our main findings are that while for the full panel of 65 countries there is evidence of financial sector-led growth, bank credit has a negative effect on economic growth. At the regional level, for the Middle Eastern countries evidence suggests that neither the financial sector nor the banking sector contributes to growth. Except for Asia, the role of financial sector development on economic growth is relatively weak. Finally, except for the Middle Eastern countries, clear evidence is found in favour of bank credit having a statistically significant and negative effect on economic growth.     

气候变化对金融稳定和货币政策的影响综述

本文选取西部地区2004-2018年12个省区市的面板数据,运用面板数据模型分析方法,基于协整分析对人力资本积累、金融发展与经济增长之间的关系进行了实证分析。研究结果表明：西部各省金融发展与人力资本积累对经济发展的影响存在着显著的内部差异。基于此,本文提出实施西部地区人才开发战略、金融发展战略及出台配套相关制度法律等方面对策建议。     

Two to tangle: Financial development, political instability and economic growth in Argentina

This paper studies the impact of financial liberalization on economic growth. It contributes to this literature by using an innovative econometric methodology and a unique data set of historical series. It presents power ARCH estimates for Argentina for the period from 1896 to 2000. The main results show that the long-run effect of financial liberalization on economic growth is positive while the short-run effect is negative, albeit substantially smaller. Interestingly, we find that financial development affects growth only directly, that is, not through growth volatility.     

吉林省经济增长与金融发展的实证分析

采用1985—2010年时间序列,实证分析吉林省经济增长与金融发展规模、金融效率的关系,以及吉林省与全国经济增长差距、金融发展规模差距、金融效率差距间的关系。结果表明：吉林省金融发展规模是促进经济增长与提高金融效率的重要原因;而吉林省与全国经济增长差距、金融发展规模差距及金融效率差距虽然存在长期稳定的关系,但金融规模差距对经济增长差距的影响为负。     

Stock markets, banks, and economic growth: Empirical evidence from the MENA region

Over the last four decades, a wide theoretical debate is concerned with the fundamental relationship between financial development and economic growth. Recent studies shed some light on the simultaneous effect of banks and financial system development on growth rather than a separate impact. The empirical study is conducted using an unbalanced panel data from 11 MENA region countries. Econometric issues will be based on estimation of a dynamic panel model with GMM estimators. Thus, peculiarities of MENA region countries will be detected. The empirical results reinforce the idea of no significant relationship between banking and stock market development, and growth. The association between bank development and economic growth is even negative after controlling for stock market development. This lack of relationship must be linked to underdeveloped financial systems in the MENA region that hamper economic growth. Then, more needs to be done to reinforce the institutional environment and improve the functioning of the banking sector in the MENA region. Based on these results, other regions at the same stage of financial development such as Africa, Eastern Europe or Latin America should improve the functioning of their financial system in order to prevent their economies from the negative impact of a shaky financial market.     

金融发展的减贫效应研究——基于省级面板数据的分析

本文利用1997～2012年我国30个省市的面板数据,对金融发展与贫困减缓之间的关系进行了实证研究.实证结果表明,金融发展除了可以通过经济增长和收入分配渠道对贫困减缓产生间接的作用,其本身可以通过金融服务等渠道产生直接的减贫效应.但由于初始资本和金融成本等的限制,金融发展与贫困减缓之间存在显著的倒U型关系,即存在先恶化后改善的效应.     

Openness and Financial Development in China: The Political Economy of Financial Resources Distribution

This paper examines the impact of openness on financial development in China. We use two sets of indicators of financial development to distinguish size and efficiency for both bank and capital market sectors as aspects of financial development in 30 provinces of China over the period from 2000 to 2009. The empirical results suggest that trade and financial openness exert positive impact on financial efficiency but negative impact on the size of financial development for both the indirect and direct financial sectors. The results confirm a mismatch problem between the distribution in the types of trading companies and the allocation of financial resources in China.     

体育财政投入对经济发展水平影响的门槛效应——基于PSTR模型的分析

利用前沿非线性PSTR模型和我国2007-2013年31个省域的面板数据,实证分析我国体育财政投入对经济发展水平的影响效应及其特征。研究表明：体育财政投入对经济发展水平的影响是非线性的,存在显著的门槛特征。在体育财政投入水平较低的地区,体育财政投入无益于经济发展水平的提高;在体育财政投入水平较高的地区,体育财政投入显著促进经济发展水平的提升。随着体育财政投入水平逐步实现对相应门槛值的跨越,其对经济发展水平的促进效应逐步显现。同时,我国各省域体育财政投入对经济发展水平的影响效应存在显著的地区差异,北京、浙江、广东、海南、内蒙古、陕西、西藏、新疆等八个省域体育财政投入显著促进了该地区经济发展水平的提升。     

Intra-Provincial Financial Disparity,Economic Disparity,and Regional Development in China: Evidence from Prefecture-Level City Data

The uneven spatial distribution of economic and financial activities in China has long been a concern of both researchers and policy makers. While most previous research focuses on China’s regional disparities measured using provincial data, this article investigates intra-provincial disparities which reflect the dispersion among cities within a given province. Using data on 282 prefecture-level cities in 25 provinces from 2003 to 2012, the relationship between economic disparity and financial disparity is investigated, after which the effects of the intra-provincial disparities on provincial economic growth are examined. It is found that intra-provincial financial disparity and economic disparity are positively correlated. The results also show that intra-provincial economic disparity has no effect on provincial economic growth. The intra-provincial financial disparity, however, has a negative effect on the local economic growth rate. Therefore, developing financial inclusion and narrowing financial disparity are important measures to maintain sustainable and inclusive economic growth.     

金融混沌形成的微观机制分析

金融是现代经济的核心。金融系统的安全、稳定是经济社会稳定发展的关键。金融系统在运行过程中发生因确定性失稳而出现诸如金融市场的剧烈动荡、金融危机等金融混沌现象,给经济的增长与社会的稳定带来了很大的负面影响。从微观方面分析金融混沌的形成机制,研究发现金融混沌的形成主要是由金融市场固有的缺陷、过度的金融创新以及金融监管的缺失三方面因素共同作用的结果。探讨金融混沌的形成机制有助于为防范与控制金融混沌指明方向。     

中国区域金融发展水平与区域经济差异的协整检验

在建立金融发展与经济增长关系的理论模型和运用泰尔指数法测度中国29个省份1978～2005年区域金融发展水平和经济增长差异的基础上,采用计量经济学中的协整检验方法,对区域金融发展水平与区域经济的差距的动态均衡关系进行研究,结果表明:两者之间存在着长期均衡关系;区域金融发展水平的差异是导致区域经济增长差异的原因。     

金融中介发展、企业家精神与区域经济增长——基于省级面板数据的实证研究

本文利用1999--2010年我国30个省市的面板数据,对金融中介、企业家精神和区域经济增长之间的关系进行了实证研究。实证结果显示：金融中介发展尤其是效率的提高,对经济增长有直接的推动作用,但其增长效应存在地区差异;企业家精神能够促进经济增长,但企业家创新精神的经济增长效应远低于创业精神的经济增长效应;金融中介发展主要通过支持企业家创业活动促进经济增长。     

Excessive Financial Support,Real Estate Development and Macroeconomic Growth: Evidence from China

ABSTRACT

Using monthly panel data for China’s 30 provinces from 2007 to 2017, this article analyzes how level of financial support affects the interplay between real estate development and macroeconomic growth. Based on a threshold model, the results suggest that housing price increases substantially impede economic growth, but there is no significant threshold effect for the sample as a whole. On investigating regional cross-sectional variations, we found that local economic situation clearly impacts on this effect, with significant threshold effects detected in subsamples. While housing price may have positive influences on economic growth in the mid-west subgroup with appropriate financial support, more developed regions returned contrary results.
