The paper explored (1) the impact of remittances on financial development and (2) whether the interaction between remittances and human capital development had an influence on financial development in transitional economies using the dynamic GMM approach, with data ranging from 1996 to 2014. Remittances were found to have had a non‑significant positive influence on financial development in transitional economies when stock market turnover, stock market value traded, domestic credit to the private sector by banks, and public bond sector development were used as measures of financial development. When stock market capitalisation, domestic credit to the private sector by financial sector, and private bond sector development were used as measures of financial development, remittances had a non‑significance negative effect on financial development. Using all other measures of financial development except stock market capitalisation (which produced a negative sign), the interaction between remittances and human capital development had an insignificant positive influence on financial development. Transitional economies are therefore urged to avoid over‑relying on remittance inflow and human capital development as sources of financial development.

This study examines the relationship between financial sector development and human development in Nigeria for the period of 1986 to 2018 using Non-linear Auto Regressive Distributed Lag (NARDL) and Toda Yamamoto Granger non-causality approaches. Empirical findings that emanated from the study reveal the existence of nonlinear relationship between financial sector development indices and human development in Nigeria. Further, feedback from the Toda Yamamoto Granger non-causality test shows that money supply constitutes the only variable exerting bidirectional nexus with human development. Conversely, bank deposit appeared to have a unidirectional relationship with human development whereas other indicators like domestic credit to GDP and bank penetration have no causal relationship with human development within the period of study. Prominent policy implication derivable from the empirical analyses suggests the need for the monetary policy authority to place more emphasis on quantity-based monetary tools such as liquidity ratio and reserve ratio for managing the economy.

Purpose This paper aims to examine the link among foreign direct investment (FDI), domestic credit expansion and economic growth for six Pacific Island countries. Design/methodology/approach Using panel data over 1982-2011, the authors relate the interaction between domestic credit to private sector and FDI to its impacts on output. This study makes use of panel cointegration and the generalized method of moments estimators. Findings The empirical results generally show that FDI and domestic credit to private sector serve as substitutes to promote output in these small economies. Such findings are robust to a number of sensitivity tests. Originality/value This study contributes to the literature by examining the interaction between domestic credit to private sector and FDI and its impact on output in small Pacific Island economies.
