Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between financial sector development and progress in reaching the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). It assesses the contribution of countries' financial sector development to achieving the MDGs. The focus is on the relationships between financial development and economic welfare and growth, and the following four MDG-themes: Poverty, Education, Health, and Gender Equality. In doing so, the book reviews the theoretical channels, surveys existing empirical evidence - both cross-country and case study evidence, and provides new evidence. Financial Secto

Abstract

Van de vele handleidingen die er zijn voor het maken van scripties, is dit er eentje die een aantal verrassende invalshoeken heeft. Het bijzondere van deze gids is dat de auteurs, beiden universitair gevormd op economisch gebied, als het ware een tweedeling aanbrengen in hun opzet. Kort gezegd komt het hierop neer dat zij enerzijds de inhoud van een scriptie met alles wat daarmee samenhangt, behandelen en anderzijds aandacht besteden aan de motivatie en aan het contact met de begeleider. Wat dat eerste betreft, zijn er de standaardproblemen die behandeld worden zoals de afbakening van het onderwerp en de afstemming van de inleiding en de conclusie op elkaar. Wat dat andere onderdeel aangaat, benadrukken zij het belang van een goed contact met de begeleider en hoe dat eventueel te verbeteren en dragen zij tips aan om gemotiveerd te blijven. Elk hoofdstukje eindigt met een checklist van vragen. Deze scriptiewijzer is vooral geschikt voor zowel universitair studenten als hbo-studenten. © NBD Biblion

Abstract

"The author tests the hypothesis that during systemic banking crises, access to finance is opportunistically tightened by incumbents to eliminate or weaken competition from mainly young firms. He finds this to be especially true in more corrupt countries. To do so, he uses a methodology similar to Rajan and Zingales (1998) on three-digit manufacturing industry-level data provided by the United Nations Statistics Division for about 15 industrial and developing countries in over 20 industries on average. The author shows that price-cost margins in externally more financially dependent industries are higher during crisis than in externally less dependent industries in countries with higher levels of corruption. He finds the opposite relationship for the change in the industry-level number of establishments during a crisis. The results withstand an array of robustness checks, including using different indices of corruption, different controls, and robust estimation techniques. "--World Bank web site.

Abstract

Using cross-country and panel regressions, the authors show that financial sector development significantly reduces undernourishment (hunger), largely through gaining farmers and others access to productivity-enhancing equipment, translating into beneficial income and general effects. They show specifically that a deeper financial sector leads to higher agricultural productivity, including higher cereal yields, through increased fertilizer and tractor use. Higher productivity in turn leads to lower undernourishment. The results are robust to various specifications and econometric tests and imply that a 1 percentage point increase in private credit to GDP reduces undernourishment by 0.22-2.45 percentage points, or about one-quarter the impact of GDP per capita.
