Abstract

In this paper, we utilize panel data encompassing 44 emerging market countries from 1996 to 2020 to investigate the impact of openness on financial development and rethink the interrelationship between trade openness and financial openness. Our findings indicate that openness contributes to the promotion of financial development. Furthermore, this paper extends and refines the classification of open relationships by considering three distinct types of policymakers: prudent, radical, and discretionary. Through this categorization, we shed light on the ambiguity of the marginal effects of trade and financial opening policies.
