“…In this study, H1 was verified. This has also been confirmed in the studies of Kapoor ( 2014 ) and Zou and He ( 2018 ). The vigorous development of financial inclusion helps to expand the breadth and depth of financial services, making the coverage of the financial system wider; it also reduces people’s economic risks, which helps to reduce residents’ constraints and facilitates transactions, and promotes human capital and material rational allocation of capital.…”

“…For example, Farhana et al ( 2012 ) studied the relationship between urbanization and inclusive growth and found that when urbanization develops to a higher level, it may have a negative impact on the inclusive growth of developing countries. In other research, Kapoor ( 2014 ) and Zou and He ( 2018 ) examined the mechanism of digital finance and financial development promoting inclusive growth, while Marinas et al ( 2018 ) and Sugiawan and Managi ( 2019 ) explored the impact of energy consumption on economic sustainability, proving the two-way causal relationship between renewable energy consumption and economic growth.…”

Financial inclusion, renewable energy consumption, and inclusive growth: cross-country evidence

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the global economy to varying degrees. Coupled with the widening gap caused by the unbalanced distribution of resources, the sustainability and inclusiveness of economic growth have been challenged. To explore the influencing factors of the level of economic inclusive growth among different countries, we used the spatial Durbin model to analyze the relationship between financial inclusion, renewable energy consumption, and inclusive growth based on panel data of 40 countries from 2010 to 2020. The results indicate a spatial autocorrelation in inclusive growth; financial inclusion and renewable energy consumption both contributed positively to inclusive growth, while industrial structure upgrading played a negative moderating role between domestic renewable energy consumption and inclusive growth. The results of this study provide insights into achieving better inclusive growth and maintaining sustainable and balanced economic development. Based on this, policy recommendations such as expanding the coverage of inclusive finance, optimizing the energy structure, and changing the economic development model are put forward.

“…It is normal to have a certain degree of development gap in social and economic development [ 21 , 22 ]. However, the persistence or widening trend of the gap is not conducive for the development of the economy and the effective allocation of resources [ 23 ]. Therefore, it is necessary to study the problem of convergence.…”

Based on the panel data of thirty-one provinces in China from 2003 to 2020, we constructed an evaluation index system of urban-rural integration development level from the perspective of factor flow. The combined weighting model of GI and CRITIC were used to evaluate the regional urban-rural integration development. The coefficient of variation and panel fixed effect model was used to explore convergence, absolute convergence, and conditional convergence. The impact of capital, labor, and technology factor flow on the convergence of urban-rural integration development level was further investigated. In addition, the difference analysis in time scale and impulse response function analysis was performed to explore the regular pattern of factor flow on the convergence of urban-rural integration development. The main conclusions were as follows: first, the growth of urban-rural integration development had an absolute convergence trend and tended to conditional convergence faster. Second, the capital flow positively affected the convergence of urban-rural integration development, while labor and technology flow had a slowing effect on the convergence of urban-rural integration development at this stage. Third, the impact of factor flow on the convergence of urban-rural integration development was dissimilar during different phases. The convergence rate of urban-rural integration development after 2012 was drastically slower than before.

“…Empirically, among the few studies Peng et al (2010) examined regional finance as the cause of regional disparities in China. Zou and He (2018) employing data on 282 Chinese cities investigated the relationship between economic disparity and financial sector. Sharma (2008) investigated whether regional disparities in India are due to immobility of capital.…”

In this study, we examine disparities in financial development at the regional level in India. The major research questions of the study are: how do we measure the level of financial development at the sub-national level? How unequal is financial development across the states? Does it vary by ownership of financial institutions? To explore these research questions, our study develops a composite banking development index at the sub-national level for three different bank groups – public, private and foreign for 25 Indian states covering 1996–2015. Our findings suggest that despite reforms, banking development is significantly higher in the leading high income and more developed regions compared to lagging ones. Furthermore, we find that all bank groups including public banks are concentrated more in the developed regions. Overall, over the years the position of top three and bottom three states in the aggregate banking index have remained unchanged reflecting lop-sidedness of regional development. We also note improvement in the ranking of some north-eastern states during the period 2009–15.
