Abstract

Finance and the financial system are key components in the workings of a capitalist market economy and of capitalist firms. The absence of finance, or an inefficient financial system, may be detrimental to economic growth and development, which is often the case for poor and developing regions. This entry reviews in the first instance debates over the direction of causality of finance in driving economic growth and development. It then considers global financial integration, including special topics such as Islamic finance and the rise of sovereign wealth funds. The entry concludes with a discussion of financial exclusion and microfinance.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
