Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is there a strong empirical association between stock market development and long-term economic growth? Cross-country regressions suggest that there is a positive and robust association.Levine and Zervos empirically evaluate the relationship between stock market development and long-term growth. The data suggest that stock market development is positively associated with economic growth. Moreover, instrumental variables procedures indicate a strong connection between the predetermined component of stock market development and economic growth in the long run.While cross-country regressions imply a strong link between stock market development and economic growth, the results should be viewed as suggestive partial correlations that stimulate additional research rather than as conclusive findings. Much work remains to be done to shed light on the relationship between stock market development and economic growth. Careful case studies might help identify causal relationships and further research could be done on the time-series property of such relationships.Research should also be done to identify policies that facilitate the development of sound securities markets.This paper - a product of the Finance and Private Sector Development Division, Policy Research Department - is part of a larger effort in the department to study the relationship between financial systems and economic growth.

Download or read book Stock Markets and Economic Growth written by Ortrun Anne Gronski and published by Peter Lang Pub Incorporated. This book was released on 2001 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stock markets have grown rapidly in many developing countries during the past ten years. Nevertheless there is little evidence as to whether a stock market is crucial for economic development. This study aims at filling this gap. Based on data from the Republic of South Africa, Anne Gronski investigates the impact of the stock market development on investment, savings and economic growth. The author first elaborates the potential effects of stock market development, then provides an overview over the political and economic developments in South Africa during the observation period and finally applies different econometric techniques to analyse the issue empirically. At first sight, the stock market development seems to have had a negative impact on South Africa's development; while savings, investment and growth deteriorated, the stock market grew. However, the more detailed analyses show that inflation and political instability were the major culprits for the down-turn. The stock market prevented further decline in savings by providing inflation-adjusted returns. With regard to investment, the analyses show that as opposed to public investments, private investments were less affected by the unstable climate. Moreover, the analyses show that external equity finance gained importance during the considered period and that private investments reacted positively to the stock market development. The causality tests also confirm the positive effects of stock market development on economic growth.

Download or read book Regulated Exchanges written by Larry Harris and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2010-11-04 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exchanges play an essential and central role in the world's economy. They epitomize transparency in the price-formation process, informing investors and disseminating vital information for the functioning of financial markets, and in so doing they represent an important source of capital for nascent and established companies alike. Even during the recent crisis, exchanges remained open and liquid in the face of extreme volatility-thus the trust investors place in regulated exchanges when confronted with uncertainty is beyond doubt. Since the inception of the World Federation of Exchanges in the 1960s, the operational and competitive landscape for organized exchanges has changed radically. Technology and globalization have allowed financial flows to move freely across borders, and burgeoning competition and lower regulatory barriers have spurred far-reaching transformations in the way securities are traded. Against this background, and on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the World Federation of Exchanges, the WFE has partnered with Larry Harris and the Centre for European Policy Studies to produce a definitive volume of essays to take a look at the historic role exchanges have played in the global economy, highlighting pivotal innovations that shaped this role, and to lay out prospective ways in which exchanges will continue to shape the global economy in the future. Opening with key conceptual essays by leading academics, Regulated Exchanges examines the historical contribution of exchanges to the world's economic growth, exchanges' economic importance, and the regulatory characteristics of the space in which exchanges operate. The volume then presents essays on several defining milestones in the history of exchanges written by leading figures that took part in that very history, showing the interaction between the founding of exchanges, local cultures, and world financial markets. The book appropriately closes with a look forward, examining the competitive landscape and the exciting and promising future of regulated exchanges. Offering an unparalleled collection of perspectives from leading academics and practitioners involved in the history of exchanges, Regulated Exchanges sheds a brilliant and welcome light on how exchanges have influenced and fostered successful financial markets, and how they will do so for many years to come.

Download or read book The Influence of Stock Markets on Economic Growth written by Jochem Ewen and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2010-12 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An influential body of theoretical literature documents the role of financial systems on economic growth. As the bulk of this literature is focused on developed economies, little is known about the effects of the less developed financial systems in African countries. Now that the world becomes increasingly aware of the importance of the development of African economies, it is even more interesting to have a good understanding of the effects of financial systems on the African continent. Therefore this manuscript analyzes the effects that financial systems have on the economies of several African countries, laying its main focus on stock markets. It examines whether the existence of stock markets in African countries influences economic growth within the involved countries. In order to find this out, a panel data set with annual observations from 1988-2008 for 17 African countries is constructed. An OLS regression with panel-corrected standard errors is performed on this panel. The fact that both stock market development indicators enter the regression significantly shows that the presence of stock markets on the African continent is definitely not insignificant for its economies.
