Agricultural technology innovation is key for improving productivity, sustainability, and resilience in food production and agriculture to contribute to public health. Using panel data of 31 provinces in China from 2003 to 2015, this study examines the impact of rural financial development on agricultural technology innovation from the perspective of rural financial scale and rural finance efficiency. Furthermore, it examines how the effects of rural financial development vary in regions with different levels of marketization and economic development. The empirical results show that the development of rural finance has a significant and positive effect on the level of agricultural technology innovation. Rural finance efficiency has a significantly positive effect on innovation in regions with a low degree of marketization, while the rural financial scale has a significantly positive effect on technological innovation in regions with a high degree of marketization. Further analysis showed that improving the level of agricultural technology innovation is conducive to rural economic development. This study provides new insights into the effects of rural financial development on sustainable agricultural development from the perspective of agricultural technology innovation.

Firms invest in brand capital through advertising. Financial constraints hinder firms’ ability to fund their investment projects. Empirical studies in the finance literature suggest that firms’ access to external financial resources, labeled “financial development,” affects their investment behavior. The authors take the view of advertising spending as investment in brands and study the effect of financial development on advertising spending at the country level using a panel of 59 developing and developed countries during 1990–2016. The results suggest that financial development has a positive and significant effect on advertising spending, and this effect is stronger in countries with a low level of economic development. Furthermore, the authors investigate the role of national culture dimensions including uncertainty avoidance, long-term orientation, collectivism, masculinity, and power distance in the relationship between financial development and advertising. Overall, the results provide evidence that the impact of financial development on advertising spending depends on the national culture dimensions.

Abstract A sound financial system is a prerequisite for the inclusive and stable development of an economy, especially it plays a key role in dealing with the menace of inequality in income distribution. Economic policies including monetary and fiscal policy framed by the policymakers influence the accessibility to the financial resources by the poor. This study intends to examine the relationship between financial development and income inequality in India over the period 1973 to 2015. To analyze this relationship, the financial development index was constructed using the PCA approach. The study also checks the presence of the Greenwood–Jovanovich (GJ) hypothesis in the Indian economy. In this study, the ARDL Bound testing procedure is followed to assess the impact of financial development on income inequality. Besides financial development, the impact of economic development and government expenditure is also observed. Results confirm the existence of an inverted U-shaped linkage between financial development and income inequality in India, whereas economic development deteriorates the gap between the income of poor and rich. Furthermore, a U-shaped relationship between government expenditure and income inequality is revealed in this study. The findings of this study may provide new insight to the policymakers for framing suitable economic policies to encourage sustainable development in India.

As one of the areas with frequent earthquake disasters, China’s social stability and sustained and healthy economic development have been profoundly affected for a long time. Based on the two-way fixed effect model and a series of deterministic indicators of economic development, including education level, economic development, financial development, fixed asset investment and permanent population, this paper designs a standard regression equation for estimating growth and uses time series panel data to analyze the impact of earthquake disasters on China’s economic development. The research results show that the earthquake disaster has an insignificant positive impact on China’s GDP. From the point of view of control variables, education level and financial development level have a positive effect on economic development as a whole, but there are certain differences in the degree of influence. The degree of trade openness has a significant impact on GDP, industry and service industries. Moreover, it has a negative impact on agricultural development.

This study delves into the effects of financial development (FD) on income inequality (IE), involving 12 Asian countries, with three different income level groups, over a period of 14 years (between 1993 and 2017). The three groups concerned comprise countries with a low, middle and high level of economic development. The findings derived through panel regression analysis, suggest that the impact of financial development on income inequality, with regards to the Asian countries selected for this investigation, is dependent on their level of economic development. It was also established, that for countries with a low economic standing, financial development has a positive relationship with income inequality.
