This paper deals with the potential positive effect of financial development on economic growth, also known as the Finance-Growth Nexus. Much uncertainty and contradiction surround the subject matter. Based on the uncertain problem set at hand, the purpose of this study is to reduce ambiguity and provide a basis for future, more detailed research. The paper aims to add value by further refining the theoretical definition of financial development, as well as further developing empirical measurement. Furthermore, a large set of financial development variables and different estimation techniques are systematically tested against a harmonized data set, in order to increase the neutrality and comparability of results. However, results of various regression iterations were neither stable, nor always fully comparable due to changes in sample composition. Ergo, the high degree of uncertainty remains, and the author cannot reject the Null Hypothesis that there is no stable correlation between financial development and economic growth. There are many different potential explanations, but all lead to the same conclusion. Perhaps the mechanisms, interrelations and potential effects of financial development on economic growth cannot be measured from a macro perspective. Instead, focusing on a micro approach in future research could potentially add value.

This book contributes to the empirical literature on economic and human development from five different perspectives: the first chapter provides a new statistical test for bimodality of densities with an application to income data. The second chapter analyzes the worlds cross-country distribution of income and challenges the so called Twin Peaks-claim. The third chapter focuses on the world income distribution and resulting implications for poverty reduction, pro-poor growth and the evolution of global inequality. The fourth chapter estimates the welfare effects of recently negotiated Economic Partnership Agreements between the EU and African countries. Finally, the fifth chapter investigates whether democracy leads to higher levels of health and education.

Just as we learn from, influence, and are influenced by others, our social interactions drive economic growth in cities, regions, and nations--determining where households live, how children learn, and what cities and firms produce. From Neighborhoods to Nations synthesizes the recent economics of social interactions for anyone seeking to understand the contributions of this important area. Integrating theory and empirics, Yannis Ioannides explores theoretical and empirical tools that economists use to investigate social interactions, and he shows how a familiarity with these tools is essential for interpreting findings. The book makes work in the economics of social interactions accessible to other social scientists, including sociologists, political scientists, and urban planning and policy researchers. Focusing on individual and household location decisions in the presence of interactions, Ioannides shows how research on cities and neighborhoods can explain communities' composition and spatial form, as well as changes in productivity, industrial specialization, urban expansion, and national growth. The author examines how researchers address the challenge of separating personal, social, and cultural forces from economic ones. Ioannides provides a toolkit for the next generation of inquiry, and he argues that quantifying the impact of social interactions in specific contexts is essential for grasping their scope and use in informing policy. Revealing how empirical work on social interactions enriches our understanding of cities as engines of innovation and economic growth, From Neighborhoods to Nations carries ramifications throughout the social sciences and beyond.
