Finance, Investment and Growth: Evidence for Italy

Abstract: This paper investigates the finance–growth nexus in Italy over a period of more than forty years (1965–2009). After a review of the theoretical and empirical literature, the paper provides evidence that the aggregate indicators of financial depth, constructed by Beck et al. () and widely used in the literature, played no significant role in spurring economic growth, after controlling for the main determinants of growth and corrected for endogeneity biases. The indicator of private credit to GDP—considered the … Show more

“…where MB is understood to be a change of monetary base due to QE; p and q represents lag order of difference of QE (MB) and other selected variable (X), respectively; r represents specified maximum delay; h represents inverse constant of co-integration equation; and κ, ξ, Φ, and Ψ are coefficients. As a final step, we have developed a growth model designed by [36], which uses the two-stage least squares (2SLS) with instrumental variables to control endogeneity. The model is in the shape of…”

“…The final impact of QE on the change in aggregated country production was determined by the expected changes in some variables due to APP (based on previous models). These variables included GOV (due to changes in government bond yields), MB volume, and possibly the amount of investments based on the above-mentioned work of [36], where we determine the changes in investment rates based on the model:…”

“…Likewise, although private loans prevent long-term growth, they increase short-term growth, except in countries with low employment rate (Hou & Cheng, 2017). In relation to the first mentioned priority, the level of the presence and importance of banks in the financial infrastructure is a precondition of economic growth only if a large part of funds is directed toward financing companies and investment, and not crediting households and private property (Capolupo, 2017).…”

“…The issue whether more finance implies more growth, however, has not been settled yet. Indeed, many empirical contributions find mixed or negative impact of finance on long-run growth (Stolbov, 2017;Capolupo, 2017;Nyasha and Odhiambo, 2017). In particular, Kaminsky and Reinhart (1999) and Schularick and Taylor (2012) document that an increase of credit is a good predictor of banking crises, which in turn dampen growth.…”
