Financial development, growth strategies and structural transformation

Kromtit, Matthew (2022) Financial development, growth strategies and structural transformation. PhD thesis, University of Glasgow.


Strategizing economic growth and development in developing countries remains a daunting task for several years. Developing countries for long suffer from the many characteristics of underdevelopment. These range from slow economic growth to high levels of unemployment and poverty, increased population explosion with little or no corresponding increase in productive capabilities. For decades too, the economic literature has shown that several private and public sector-led strategies have failed to guarantee long term economic progress especially in developing countries. Whether mainstream or heterodox, what constitute appropriate growth strategies for developing countries is complex and highly debatable. This thesis therefore generally seeks to ignite better understanding of the strategies for growth and their determinants as well as to renew the debate on the essentials for strategizing growth in developing countries. The thesis attempts to provide some evidence on this general objective by investigating three specific topics in three empirical chapters. This is in addition to introductory and concluding chapters.

Chapter one motivates the thesis and specifies the objectives particular to each empirical chapter. Chapter two focuses on providing evidence on the role of financial development in determining whether developing countries follow or defy their comparative advantage. This area has been largely ignored in the literature on finance and development. Using dynamic panel data spanning across 132 developing countries and two-step system generalized method of moments (GMM), the results of this chapter mainly show that financial development in terms of the depth of banking sector tends to lead to comparative advantage – following (CAF) growth strategy but it tends to lead to comparative advantage – defying (CAD) in terms of financial efficiency. Based on these findings, chapter three introduces the analysis of financial and trade liberalization, interventionists policies and economic diversification in resource-rich developing countries. The empirical evidence reported in this chapter suggest that though liberal and interventionists policies matter in promoting economic diversification – in terms of enhancing manufacturing, the interaction of these policies with regulation could lead to an expanding services sector at the expense of manufacturing in resource-rich countries. Chapter four explores whether global value chains (GVCs) – related trade and conventional trade play a role in the structural transformation of resource-rich and non-resource-rich developing countries. The results show that the share of domestic value added in gross GVC-related exports and conventional trade have the tendency to aggravate employment and value addition respectively in the agricultural sector of Non-Resource-Rich Countries (NRRCs). In Resource Rich Countries (RRCs), the findings show that conventional trade have negative and significant impact on value-added in manufacturing while the share of foreign value added in gross GVC-related trade reports positive and significant impact on share of labour employment in services but not on the value added in the sub-sector.

Thus, the findings of the thesis tend to have implications for what constitute an appropriate development strategy in developing countries. Overall, the findings imply that all hope is not lost in developing countries. Given their factor endowments, developing countries could harness them with the appropriate combination of interventionists and liberal policies as well as the right mix of domestic and foreign value addition in promoting economic diversification and structural transformation. It remains however, a challenge for these countries to draw a line between what constitutes effective strategies or policies thereby leaving room for further research as suggested in chapter five of the thesis.

Dynamics between Financial development, Renewable energy consumption, and Economic growth: Some international evidence.

Profile image of Dr. Kassi (Diby Francois KASSI), PhD in Finance

2020, SSRN Electronic Journal

This thesis investigates the dynamics between financial development, renewable energy consumption, and economic growth in comparative analyses across 123 countries from 1990 to 2017. In the comparative analyses, we considered four income groups, namely low-income (LIC), lower-middle-income (LMC), upper-middle-income (UMC) and high-income (HIC) countries, but also five major regions such as Asia Pacific (APA), Europe & Central Asia (ECS), America (AMA, North America & Latin America and The Caribbean), Middle-East and North Africa (MENA) and Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). This research is motivated by the need to show whether financial development may contribute to the protection of the planet (clean energy) and the eradication of poverty around the world. We also highlight the importance of good governance quality and renewable energies for achieving sustainable development goals (SDGs). This project is in line with the SDGs initiated by the United Nations to arouse attention towards clean water and sanitation, decent work and economic growth, peace, justice, and strong institutions affordable and clean energy in response to global warming. Hence, energy-saving technologies, i.e., renewable energies and sustainable growth, may play critical roles in this regard. The scrutiny of the empirical literature reveals that few studies have examined the nonlinear relationship between financial development, renewable energy consumption and economic growth in comparative analyses across different income groups and different regions while considering the multidimensional aspects of financial development. Notably, this study analyzes the nonlinear effects of financial development on renewable energy consumption and economic growth using different financial indicators. In a disaggregated approach, we alternatively use these indicators to represent four aspects of financial development, i.e., financial depth, financial efficiency, financial inclusion, and financial stability. Besides, this study examines the moderating effect of the quality of governance of public institutions on the relationship between financial development, renewable energy consumption, and economic growth across income levels and regions, unlike previous studies. In an aggregated approach, we built composite indexes of financial development and governance quality using eight (8) financial variables and six (6) indicators of governance quality. We make these indexes through the principal component analysis (PCA) technique to derive the overall effect of financial development on renewable energy consumption and growth while avoiding multicollinearity problems and the arbitrary choices of variables. The study also includes ten (10) control variables to avoid bias arising from omitted variables. The different estimations were performed by using two-stage least squares (2SLS), difference-GMM and system-GMM in most cases to deal with endogeneity problems, as well as to provide robust and reliable results. We also examined the causal relationships between financial development, renewable energy consumption, and economic growth using the panel vector autoregressive model (Panel VAR) following a similar approach to Granger causality framework with the GMM models. The study also provides detailed discussions of the results and specific policy implications for achieving the sustainable development goals in response to global warming across countries. These policy implications are well discussed in the last section of this thesis.

Sustainable Development, 2020

The present study aims to explore the long-run and causal effect of financial development and renewable energy consumption on environmental sustainability while controlling technological innovation and economic growth within the global framework. In line with the aim of the study, the fully modified OLS (FMOLS), dynamic OLS (DOLS), canonical cointegrating regression (CCR), Bayer and Hanck cointegration, and frequency-domain causality tests are employed. Empirical evidence confirms the existence of a long-run linkage among the variables. The present study also finds that in the long run, global financial development and global renewable energy consumption have a long-run significant positive effect on environmental sustainability, while economic growth increases carbon emission flaring around the world. Within the global framework, the study, therefore, recommends that in order to increase environmental quality, global policy-makers should further consider the roles of renewable energy and financial development by implementing reform energy policies in both developed and developing countries.

SSRN Electronic Journal , 2019

This study analyzes the conditional effect of governance quality on the dynamics between financial development, renewable energy consumption, and economic growth in 123 countries from 1990 to 2017. We built composite indexes of financial development and governance quality through the principal component analysis (PCA) by using several financial variables and governance indicators. We employ the generalized method of moments (GMM) and the two-stage least squares (2SLS) techniques, but also the Granger non-causality in Dumitrescu and Hurlin (2012). First, the disaggregated analysis shows that renewable energy consumption, financial inclusion, financial efficiency, and financial stability have positive marginal effects on economic growth under a good governance quality, except for financial depth. These results differ across countries with different income levels. Second, the aggregated analysis confirms the positive marginal impact of financial development on growth only in low-income economies, whereas renewable energy consumption has positive marginal effects only in lower-middle-income and upper-middle-income economies. Finally, in most cases, the feedback hypothesis is confirmed between financial development and growth in all countries. Similarly, the bidirectional causality between renewable energy consumption and growth is also confirmed in lower-middle-income and low-income countries, except for high-income and upper-middle-income economies. Overall, governance quality has a threshold effect on the finance-renewable energy-growth nexus, which varies across countries. Thus, financial development and good governance quality are complementary driving forces for growth in most countries, except in upper-middle-income countries, whereas the complementary effect between renewable energy consumption and governance quality holds only in low-income and high-income countries. Accordingly, our study suggests more improvements in the governance quality in these countries, especially in the low-income and high-income countries to enhance the marginal impacts of financial development and renewable energy consumption on growth. JEL classification: C50, G21, O43, Q40

This paper investigates the moderating role of governance quality on the finance-renewable energy-growth nexus in five major regions in the world, including 123 countries from 1990 to 2017., Middle-East and North Africa (MENA), and Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) regions. Following the principal component analysis (PCA), we constructed composite indexes of governance quality and financial development using six institutional indicators and eight financial variables. Next, we applied the two-stage least squares, difference-GMM, and system-GMM methods, as well as the Granger non-causality test in Dumitrescu and Hurlin (2012). First, the results show that better governance quality wipes out the harmful effects of financial development and renewable energy consumption on economic growth in the Asia Pacific, MENA, and SSA regions, respectively. Conversely, the level of governance quality reduces the positive effects of financial development and renewable energy consumption on economic growth in America, with few exceptions in Europe & Central Asia region, respectively. Second, we find marginal adverse effects of financial development and renewable energy consumption on growth in the Asia Pacific, MENA, and SSA regions due to their low levels of governance quality. However, the marginal effect of renewable energy consumption on growth is positive in America and Europe & Central Asia regions, whereas the marginal effect of financial development is negative in these regions in most cases. Third, there is bidirectional causality between financial development and economic growth in all areas, whereas the bidirectional causality between renewable energy consumption and growth is only confirmed in America and SSA regions, respectively. This study reveals the threshold effect of governance quality on the renewable energy-finance-growth nexus across regions. Thus, financial development, renewable energy consumption, and governance quality are complementary factors to enhance economic growth in the Asia Pacific, MENA and SSA regions, contrary to America and Europe & Central Asia regions, with some exceptions. Therefore, policymakers should improve the level of governance quality, the efficiency of financial systems and renewable energy consumption to promote sustainable development in the different regions, especially in the Asia Pacific, MENA, and SSA regions. JEL classification: C50, G21, O43, Q40

This study examines the interrelation among renewable energy production, financial development and economic growth in 32 selected African countries for the period of 1996 to 2018. These countries are categorized on the basis of oil rich and non-oil rich as well as income levels. The study employs Pooled Mean Group, Augmented Mean Group and Dynamic OLS and key findings are established. The study reveals a positive and significant renewable energy-economic growth relationship in all the different groups. Financial development is found to improve economic performance in all categories except in non-oil rich African countries. This study thus recommends the restructuring of the energy pricing system, provision of long-term finance, adoption of risk mitigation instruments, improved institutional framework for private participation in renewable energy infrastructural development for growth sustainability in Africa.

MPRA , 2019

This paper analyzes the asymmetrical relationship between financial development, energy consumption and economic growth in twenty-one (21) sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries from 1990Q1 to 2014Q4. We used the nonlinear autoregressive distributed lag (NARDL) framework and asymmetrical causality tests to examine the relationship between the variables. First, the country-level analysis reveals that there is asymmetrical cointegration between the variables in some countries and mixed results of the causal effects of financial development and energy consumption on economic growth across countries. Second, the results of the panel data analysis confirm the asymmetrical cointegration in the SSA region, especially in lower-middle-income countries than in upper-middle-income countries. We find that positive changes in energy consumption significantly reduce economic growth, contrary to the negative changes in the long-term. Besides, positive shocks to financial development favor more economic growth than the adverse shocks in the long-term in the SSA region. However, financial development hurts economic growth, contrary to energy consumption in the short-term. Finally, the results show bidirectional causality between positive changes in energy consumption and economic growth, but unidirectional causality running from negative changes in energy consumption to economic growth in the SSA region. There is also bidirectional causality between positive and negative shocks to financial development and economic growth in SSA region, but mixed results across lower-income countries and upper-middle-income countries. Therefore, our study suggests that energy-saving policies such as renewable energies can be implemented in the SSA region to promote sustainable development. In addition, policy-makers should adopt an efficient allocation of the credits to the private sector supporting productive investments. They should also pay attention to the asymmetrical relationship between financial development, energy consumption and economic growth in most SSA countries in the conduct of economic policies.

Energy is a challenging and emerging problem in the world. Most South Asian countries have limited means but they cannot utilize a major part of their resources due to the high cost of exploration. However, few countries in this region have sufficient capacity and abundant energy resources to overcome the issues related to energy, but due to several reasons, they are not going to play an effective role in this field. As we know South Asian economies have limited resources and facing energy crises due to these reasons, we conduct research on this region as well. The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between economic growth (GDP), financial development (FD), and energy consumption (ENC) for South Asian countries for the period 1991-2020. For the empirical purpose, panel co-integration approaches are applied. However, the Pooled Mean Group (PMG) long-run result shows that the impact of financial development (FD) and economic growth (GDP) on energy consumption (ENC) is po...

Climate change is one of the biggest challenges in our times. Climate change is happening such as rising in temperatures and sea level, drought, the destruction of the ozon layer. Climate change is consistent with a higher level of carbon dioxide that negatively affects human health and the economy. To mitigate the climate change, countries must reduce the emissions linked to the human activities in order to protect the earth safe as well as maintain economic growth in the context of sustainable development. In this case, renewable energy consumption is one of the most effective tools in the form of fighting against climate change. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the impact of financial development on renewable energy consumption in six Southeast Asian countries (i.e. Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and the Philippines) and three East Asian countries (i.e. China, Korea, and Japan). Using the generalized least squares method, the research results confirm that financia...

This study aims to evaluate the positive impacts of renewable energy usage on the economic growth and financial development. For this purpose, an evaluation has been performed with VAR analysis. In the analysis process, annual data for the period between 1990 and 2015 is used. The findings show that renewable energy usage and financial development do not have a powerful influence on the economic growth. However, it is identified that renewable energy usage has a positive impact on the financial development. Hence, it is strongly recommended that renewable energy usage should be encouraged by policy makers in the country. Nonetheless, to understand the main indicators of economic growth, many different factors should be taken into consideration. It is seen that owing to the use of environmentally friendly energy, the size of the financial sector increases. It is obvious that environment-friendly energy usage attracts the attention of the financial investors. In this context, it would...

How To Write A Finance Thesis (With Free Topics)

The word “thesis” can evoke a range of emotions in a finance student – excitement, trepidation, and perhaps even a healthy dose of imposter syndrome. This guide is your roadmap to writing a stellar finance thesis. Before reading this, make sure that you know whether you are writing a dissertation or a thesis .

Table of Contents

What Is A Finance Thesis

A finance thesis is an academic document that explores a specific topic within the field of finance in a detailed and comprehensive manner. It is a substantial piece of scholarly work typically required as part of an advanced degree program, such as a master’s or a Ph.D. in finance or a related discipline.

The primary purpose of a finance thesis is to demonstrate the author’s understanding of financial concepts, theories, and methodologies, as well as their ability to conduct original research and contribute new insights to the field.

Structure Of A Finance Thesis

A finance thesis follows a typical research paper format but with an in-depth analysis of each section. Here are the elements that you must include in your finance thesis. 

Introduction   

To captivate your audience from the outset, begin with a compelling hook that sparks interest in your finance thesis. This could be a thought-provoking statistic, a relevant anecdote, or a compelling question. By engaging readers early on, you set the tone for an impactful thesis.

Following the hook, provide a brief but comprehensive overview of the background and context of your finance thesis. Explain the relevance of your chosen topic. This section serves as a foundation for readers, ensuring they understand the context before delving into the specifics of your research.

Introducing The Thesis Statement

The crux of your introduction lies in presenting a clear and concise thesis statement . Articulate the main argument or hypothesis of your finance thesis. Ensure that it is specific, focused, and indicative of the direction your research will take. This roadmap prepares your readers for the journey they are about to embark on throughout the remainder of your thesis.

Literature Review

In the literature review section, write about the existing body of knowledge related to your finance thesis.

The article studies the issues of resistance of winter wheat varieties selected by the State Center of grain n.a. P.P. Lukyanenko and the Institute of Agriculture of the KBRC of the RAS to pests. The studies were conducted in the steppe zone of Kabardino-Balkaria in the conditions of insufficient moisture in 2017-2018. Main diseases of winter wheat were identified, a valuable source material resistant to the main pathogens was isolated, and dominant diseases were established. The most adaptive, highly productive varieties of winter wheat were identified. The most ecologically plastic and stable varieties of winter wheat which can be used as donors were identified. Phytosanitary monitoring of the cotton moth was carried out in corn areas; phytophagous plants and the damage share were determined; progressive diseases were assessed; the species composition and frequency of pathogens were identified in grain areas.
