The paper addresses the problem of interaction of the stock market and real investment in the contemporary economy. The stock market and the real economy are considered as autonomous economic worlds with growing domination of the stock market. From the Post Keynesian perspective the author shows the implications of the stock market domination for economic stability and welfare. In particular, narrowing of the planning horizons and regular shocks due to volatility of finance availability are considered, which may facilitate the crisis because the economy is financially fragile. The institutional prerequisites for the stock market isolation and domination over the real sector are analyzed.

Introduction. Financial sector plays an important role in the financing of business entities in the real economy sector. A possibility of rising funds through the stock or banking sector enables substantially to expand the scope of enterprises. However, the presence of permanent financial crises does not allow companies to use these opportunities in full. Therefore, the assessment of state and trends of the stock and banking sectors in the context of the use of their funds to finance companies in the real sector of the economy becomes important. Purpose. The article aims to identify contemporary issues of development of the stock and banking sectors in the context of their ability to finance companies in the real economy. Method. In order to achieve the goal of the research we have used the following methods: method of structural and dynamic analysis and method of economic and statistical analysis of the development of the stock and banking sectors of Ukraine. Results. It has been determined that the deterioration of the stock market in Ukraine led to its exclusion from the list of marginal markets. The largest segment of the Ukrainian stock and banking sector services the issuers, which are owned by the state. At the same time, the financial sector has features of bank-centeredness since banks play a leading role in financing of companies and in transactions of the stock market. Ukrainian stock market mainly carries out operations with government bonds and only a small part of operations provides financing for the activities of companies through the issue of stocks and bonds. The share of long-term sources of funding is gradually decreasing and it is critically low for economic growth of the country. The tempos of providing long-term and short-term bank loans for the company are slowing down. A positive trend is the reduction of interest rates on loans. There is a need to develop effective measures for using opportunities of the stock and banking sectors as well for financing companies in the real sector of the economy.

The stock market plays a significant role in financing the economic entities of the real sector of the economy. The ability to raise funds using stock market instruments makes it possible to expand significantly the scale of business activity. However, the presence of recurring financial crises in the financial sector and the weak development of the stock market make it impossible for enterprises to take full advantage of these opportunities. So it is important to evaluate the state and trends of the stock market in the context of using its funds to finance real sector enterprises. In the course of the research, the authors conclude that the largest segment of the Ukrainian stock market serves government-owned issuers and mainly conducts domestic government bond transactions. Only a small proportion of operations provide financing for the activity of enterprises through the issue of shares and bonds. This situation testifies to the “fictitiousness” of the stock market, as it does not fulfill its key function of attracting temporarily free funds by issuers. In addition, the stock and bond market in Ukraine is scanty. Issuers, intending to make a public offering of shares, must fulfill sufficiently high requirements for their own securities, which does not encourage them to use this mechanism. The situation is similar in the bond market: in most cases, the issuers will spend more time and resources to carry out the issue than borrowing from the banking sector. The above points to the low interest of issuers in the real sector of the economy to use stock market instruments to manage the equity structure. There is a need to develop effective measures to leverage the stock sector's capabilities to finance businesses in the real economy. Keywords: enterprise financial architecture, stock market, bond market, capital structure.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to re-examine the relationship between a country’s aggregate stock market and general economic development for 14 emerging economies for the period from 1995 to 2014. Design/methodology/approach The methodological approach of the paper is multifold. First, the authors use cointegration analysis to determine the simple dynamics among the variables. Second, the authors utilize vector autoregression analysis to study the dynamics among the variables for the 14 countries. Third, the authors employ panel analysis to determine common variations among the variables and across countries. Findings When examining the linkage between the stock market and economic development, proxied by gross domestic product growth or with gross fixed capital formation growth, the authors did not find a meaningful relationship between them. However, when the authors included additional control variables strong, dynamic interactions between the two magnitudes surfaced. Specifically, it was found that the stock market is positively and robustly correlated with contemporaneous and future real economic development and, thus, it directly contributed to a country’s economic development either through the production of goods and services or the accumulation of real capital. Thus, it can be inferred that the stock market alone is not capable of boosting economic development in these countries unless being part of a comprehensive financial system (which includes banks) as well as investment in real capital. Research limitations/implications The policy implications are clear. Government authorities must recognize that the stock market alone is not a driver of economic development and that a sound, efficient financial system (which includes banks) must be present in order to contribute and foster economic development. Originality/value The study is original in the sense that it examines various financial and economic variables to determine the degree of (or dynamic interactions among) the stock market and the real economy for each and all emerging markets in the sample.

Abstract We examine the Indian bank asset quality review, which doubled the declared loan delinquency rate. Relative economic stability during the exercise and the absence of a capital backstop together make it unique. We find that the expected reduction in information asymmetry does not automatically lead to the recapitalization of banks by markets. The consequent undercapitalization leads to underinvestment and risk-shifting through zombie lending. The impact flows to the real economy through borrowers, including shadow banks, and adversely impacts growth. These findings show that bank cleanup exercises not accompanied by policies aimed at recapitalization may be insufficient even during normal times.

We develop a simple behavioral macromodel to study interactions between the real economy and the stock market. The real economy is represented by a Keynesian-type goods market approach while the setup for the stock market includes heterogeneous speculators. Using a mixture of analytical and numerical tools we find, for instance, that speculators may create endogenous boom-bust dynamics in the stock market which, by spilling over into the real economy, can cause lasting fluctuations in economic activity. However, fluctuations in economic activity may, by shaping the firms' fundamental values, also have an impact on the dynamics of the stock market.

After a few years of euphoria, in which all kinds of specialists proclaimed the invention of a socio-economic perpetual motion machine labelled “new economy”, the “real economy” of capitalism has seized control again. As a matter of fact, there has not been any kind of abolition of the laws and the rules of the capitalist economy, but there are new means and mechanisms for external evaluation of its functioning. This, in turn, has been prepared by organizational changes, which had taken place in the last two decades, in order to improve efficiency, but also in order to enable the globalization of the big corporations, which have become the “real winners” of the new economy. This can be shown by the example of General Electric.

Efficient sales logistics is the foundation of sustainability of enterprises in the real economy. This is due to the fact that it is the closing link in the logistics system, production of goods and provides a choice of distribution channels and their participants. The choice of distribution channels, first of all, involves the determination of markets for the products manufactured by the enterprise. Due to the need to ensure the effectiveness of this choice of taking into account a large number of various factors, the solution to this problem involves the use of formalized models and techniques. The article proposes a model and methodology that provides a reasonable choice of markets for the products of an enterprise in the real sector of the economy at the initial stage of forming its marketing logistics strategy. The model is based on a formal apparatus of statistical conclusions based on nonparametric statistics. This made it possible to take into account the inherent uncertainty of the source information inherent in the considered selection problem. The proposed model may be useful for digitalization in the field of logistics management of enterprises in the real sector of the economy.

This study examined the effect of monetary policy on the real sector of the Nigerian economy. A model was specified for each of the manufacturing and services sectors to interrogate the effect of monetary policy on the real sector. Annual data were sourced from the World Development Indicators for 1981 to 2017. Preliminary tests of the time series properties suggested the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) regression as the most appropriate framework for the achievement of our objectives. Diagnostic tests of the distribution of regression errors confirmed the satisfaction of all necessary regression assumptions. The models were also found stable over the study period. Thus, the models adequately represented the problems formulated for investigation and good for valid inference. While all the four channels of monetary transmission considered were found significant for value-added expansion in manufacturing, the exchange rate channel was not a significant factor in value-added change in the services sector. Our findings suggested that domestic credit is the dominant channel for the transmission of monetary impulses to the real sector. The study concluded that monetary policy will benefit the real economy more with export expansion in both the manufacturing and services sectors.

Approaches to the essence and constituent elements of the real economy sector are analyzed, its optimal structure is determined. It is focused on servicing and infrastructural role of banks in relation to the entities of the real sector. The dynamics of the lending to the real sector of the economy and the level of its penetration is analyzed. The paper reveals that the growth of lending in this sector was restored only last year, but the level of penetration continues to decline. The banking sector is analyzed. The paper argues that it has become profitable for the first time since the crisis, but mainly due to reduction of deductions to reserves. The financial situation of enterprises of the real sector of the Ukrainian economy is estimated. After an increase in profitability, it was again observed to have fallen due to the growth of competition and labor costs. Production are found to have increased in the real sector, but the role of loans in its development is insignificant. The emphasis is placed on the leading role of banks in the region for business development. The regional features of lending to the real economy sector in the Lviv region are outlined. The paper determines that in this region the growth of industrial products is much higher than the average in Ukraine, while the share of balances on loans granted is one of the lowest. There are the tendencies towards the decrease of the number of banks in the given region, increase of balances of banks' claims on loans in absolute value, prevalence of long-term loans and foreign currency loans. By the share of received loans the processing industry is in second place, agriculture is in the third place. Low level of the share of unemployed loans, higher than the average in Ukraine indicator of the proportion of loans in capital investment, as well as higher interest rates on loans are the features of regional lending in the Lviv region. The factors limiting the obtaining of loans from the point of view of management entities of the studied region are outlined. Certain NBU branches are dominant in the Lviv region as for lending. The changes in the regulatory environment at the macroeconomic level that are directly related to lending are analyzed. The regulator's policy to revive lending to the real sector should be extremely cautious and systematic, aimed at limiting the concentration of risks, preventing excessive lending growth, increasing the stability of financial infrastructure and reducing the dollarization of the banking sector. Measures to increase lending in the Lviv region are outlined. The involvement of banks in the Lviv educational-industrial hub is proposed.
