The determinants of financial development: Institutions, openness and financial liberalisation

Law, Siong Hook, Habibullah, Muzafar Shah·2009·South African Journal of Economics

Abstract

Abstract This paper provides new evidence that sheds light on the influence of institutional quality, trade openness and financial liberalisation on financial market development, using data from 27 economies (the G‐7, Europe, East Asia and Latin America) during 1980‐2001. The dynamic panel data analysis results demonstrate that real income per capita and institutional quality are statistically significant determinants of banking sector development and capital market development. The trade openness, however, is more prominent in promoting capital market development. In terms of financial liberalisation, the empirical results suggest that domestic financial sector reforms tend to promote banking sector development, whereas stock market liberalisation is potent in delivering stock market development. Nevertheless, the financial liberalisation programmes are more responsive in developed economies.

  • Various factors affect the relationship between financial inclusion and economic growth.

    “In addition, several works indicated that there are various factors that affect the relationship between financial inclusion and economic growth, and hence this research considered some of these factors as control variables, which include inflation (Inf), financial stability as proxied by Z-Score (FS), technology as a factor of internet expansion (IU), exchange rate (EXR), real interest rate (RIR)”

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.
