Literature suggests that financial intermediation affects growth through various channels. The questions, however, are “Whether financial development affects real economic activities?” and “Does the structure of the financial system matter for the economic growth outcome?” The aim of this chapter is, therefore, to briefly describe the concept of financial market development by highlighting the important role of the financial sector in the development of the real sector. Later in the chapter, the scope of the book is discussed, and research objectives are identified.

This paper is a survey of the literature on the theoretical and empirical interactions among financial development, economic growth, and income inequality. Prevailing evidence on finance and economic growth suggests that financial intermediaries’ development significantly helps to enhance economic growth. In addition, previous studies show that financial development plays an important role in reducing income inequality. Empirical research on a Chinese case, however, shows varied empirical findings or no clear association between financial development and income inequality.

This paper investigates the impact of remittance inflows on economic growth and poverty reduction for seven African countries using annual data from 1992-2010. By using the depth of hunger as a proxy for poverty in a Simultaneous Equation Model (SEM), we find that remittances have statistically significant growth enhancing and poverty reducing impact. Drawing on our estimates, we conclude that financial development level significantly increases the remittances inflows and strengthens poverty alleviating impact of remittances. Results of our study further show a signficant interactive imapct of remittances and finacial develpment on economic growth, suggesting the substitutability between remittance inflows and financial development. We further find that 3 percentage point increase in credit provision to the private sector (financial development) can help eliminate the severe depth of hunger in the region. Remittances, serving an alternative source of private credit, can be effective in this regard. Keywords: Remittance Inflow, Poverty Alleviation, Financial Development, Simultaneous Equation Model


The demand for energy consumption requires efficient financial development in terms of bank credit. Therefore, this study examines the nexus between Financial Development, Economic Growth, Energy Prices and Energy Consumption in India, utilizing Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) technique to determine the nature of short and long term relationships from 2010 to 2019. The estimation of results indicates that a one percent increase in bank credits to private sector results in 0.10 percent increase in energy consumption and 0.28 percent increase in energy consumption responses to 1 percent increase in economic growth. It is also observed that the impact of energy price proxied by consumer price index is statistically significant with a negative sign indicating the consistency with the theory.
