Schumpeterian innovations, financial innovations and instability: An institutional perspective

Abstract

This paper seeks to assess the nature of financial innovations as regards the economic stability throughout an institutional framework within the Schumpeterian tradition. While in the Schumpeterian evolutionary process entrepreneurial innovations are assumed to lead the entire economy towards economic development, financial innovations do not obviously generate the same positive outcome for economic evolution. To point to the ambiguous nature of financial innovations the paper suggests a monetary interpretation of Schumpeterian capitalist dynamics and sheds light on the role of the institutional environment to ensure viable economic development. It then argues that in highly liberalized environment, unconstrained financial dynamics may lead to system-wide crises and make public regulatory schemes necessary for the sake of systemic stability.

ICT-finance-growth nexus: Empirical evidence from the Next-11 countries

“…Several studies have examined the impact of network externalities on economic growth and vice versa (see, for instance, Pradhan et al, 2014a). Additionally, the role of financial sector development has been extensively studied in the literature (see for example, King and Levine, 1993;Levine and Zervos, 1996;Levine et al, 2000;Ulgen, 2015). While the relationship between ICT on economic development has been well established, the literature that examines the dynamics between ICT penetration, financial sector development and economic growth is not well-developed.…”

“…The development of the financial system is the key to improving economic growth because a good level of stability allows for an entity to make investment allocation and risk diversification in the long run (Schumpeter, 1911;Ülgen, 2015). Conversely, the level of financial stability is inseparable from economic activity in each region due to its opportunity to influence neighbouring regions with spillover effect (Carbó-Valverde & Sánchez, 2013;Fernández et al, 2013;Ijaz et al, 2020;Oyelami & Saibu, 2021;Ughetto et al, 2019;Wang, 2018;H.…”

Forms of employment of highly qualified industry professionals: the impact of labor precarity on intellectual capital

“…The reduction or lack of social protection of precarious workers is complemented by increased stress and the diseases they cause, the poorer health reduces the quality of the physical human capital of the region and the country and increase the charge on the medical services and regional healthcare system. Uncertainty in terms of obtaining a stable income leads to a decrease in the profitability of investing in education, which reduces the willingness of young people and their families to invest resources, primarily a time resource, in the intellectual capital of individuals [4].…”
