This study investigates Mexico’s finance-growth nexus by controlling the “globalization” variables of trade openness, foreign direct investment (FDI) and portfolio investment together with the structural break dummy. Financial development is proxied by two indicators of size and efficiency. Implementing the cointegration and Granger causality tests in the framework of the vector error correction model (VECM), we found that: financial size is negative for economic growth with no feedback; financial efficiency and economic growth are in a negative bilateral relationship; trade openness and portfolio investment are positive for economic growth; and FDI is negative for economic growth and financial efficiency.

This study investigates the association between financial development and economic growth in the long run using the time series data from 1985 to 2018 in financially undeveloped Gansu province in China. Regarding methodology, this paper employs ADF unit root test, Johansen co-integration test, VECM and Granger causality test to analyze the long-term relationship. The outcomes signal that the variables of financial depth, financial efficiency and economic growth are co-integrated, and the level of total financial development is negatively correlated with economic growth while financial efficiency is positively associated with output growth. In addition, there is a two-way causation between each pair of variables.

The objective of this paper is to examine the relationship between migrant remittances and economic growth by considering the role of financial efficiency in 34 African countries from 1995 to 2016. The methodology is based on a GMM system model and a Pooled Mean Group (PMG) on a sample of 34 African countries. The empirical results show us the following conclusions: (i) Migrant remittances and financial efficiency have a positive impact on economic growth. (ii) The interaction between remittances and financial efficiency has a negative impact on economic growth. (iii) Migrant remittances have a long-term impact on economic growth. (iv) The combined effect of migrant remittances and financial efficiency has a negative impact on economic growth. Moreover, this impact is more pronounced in low-and middle-income countries. To better benefit from migrant remittances, recipient countries need to focus on financial development.

This paper aims to use China as the research sample to investigate the relationship among economic growth and financial development. Degrees of financial development, financial efficiency, financial structure and financial freedom will be used to reflect China’s financial development. The empirical results show the financial development has no significant influence on China’s economic growth.

We study the relationships between various concepts of financial development and balanced economic growth. A model of endogenous growth that incorporates roles for both financial efficiency and access to financial services permits a better understanding of the relationship between the size of the financial sector (value added) and growth. Higher financial value added results from some, but not all, kinds of finance-driven growth. If greater access rather than greater efficiency generates higher growth, then value added and growth can be positively correlated. We present some preliminary empirical results that support the importance of access alongside efficiency in explaining cross-country variations in growth.
