Financial system structure and economic development: structure matters

Author Info

Listed author(s):
  • O. Emre Ergungor

Abstract

This paper investigates how the structure of a financial system-whether it is bank- or market-oriented-affects economic growth. In contrast to earlier research, which indicated that the financial system's structure is irrelevant for growth, the author finds that countries grow faster when they have a flexible judicial system and more market-oriented financial systems.
