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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the long run, economies grow. Over the shorter-term business cycle, economic activity contracts and expands. From Main Street to Wall Street examines both the long-run relation between economic growth and stock returns and the shorter-term business-cycle relation. It examines the complex relationship between the economy and the stock market, and guides readers through the fascinating interaction between economic activity and financial markets. From Main Street to Wall Street draws heavily on data, supporting academic theories with empirical facts, and backing up arguments in intuitive ways. It discusses how investors can use knowledge of economic activity and financial markets to formulate expectations to future stock returns, and helps scholars and practitioners navigate financial markets by understanding the economy.

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.

Book excerpt: March 1996 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. The study was funded by the Bank's Research Support Budget under the research project Stock Market Development and Financial Intermediary Growth2 (RPO 679-53).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study empirically reexamines the impact of stock market development on economic growth using data on twenty-seven emerging market economies over the period 1995-2012. We use market capitalization, trade value and turnover ratio as indicators of stock market development. Also, we construct three alternate composite indices of stock market development and used them in the growth regression each at a time. Methodologically, we employ the dynamic panel 'system GMM' estimators which is free from the problem of endogeneity and measurement errors; secondly, a 2nd generation panel unit root test of Pesaran (2007) is employed to test the stationary properties of data; finally, in order to test the direction of causality we make use of a newly developed panel non-causality test of Dumitrescu and Hurlin (2012) which is designed for heterogeneous panel. Our empirical findings indicate that stock market development significantly contributes to economic growth. This is evident in all the three alternate indices of financial development employed in the study. Further, we find a unidirectional causation running from stock market development to economic growth, supporting the supply-leading hypothesis. We also find that macroeconomic variables, such as investment ratio, trade openness and exchange rate have strong influence on economic growth. Thus, the study suggests that significant improvement of stock markets, making the economy internationally open, and improving the aggregate investment the emerging market economies can improve their economy.
