LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1 INTRODUCTION
This chapter provides a survey of previous works by different economic and financial researchers regarding financial sector and its impact on economic growth and development of a country. Many theoretical and empirical researches show that in the development of a country financial sector plays an important role.
Robinson (1952), writes “where enterprises leads, finance follows”. This hypothesis follows economic growth and development. In her views economic growth creates demand for financial sector and financial sector respond to these demands automatically. Patrick (1966) causality between financial development and economic growth can either be supply-leading or demand-following. The supply-leading hypothesis …show more content…

Keeley and Furlong (1990) have analyzed the effects of financial regulation on risk taking by banks and investigate the factors involve in this.
Rajan (1992) mention the problems of bank-based system, argues that shareholders have a very little information about the bank manager, who controls not only the bank but also the firm through financing and the large banks tend to encourage firms to undertake very conservative investment projects and extract large amount of rent from firms, As a result these firms earn low profit and have less incentive to engage in new and innovative products.
.Stiglitz (1994) support the idea of financial restraints, such as interest rate ceiling on deposit rate, by deepening the profit margins within certain limits, can in fact reduce the problem of moral hazards and adverse selection.
Rajan and Zingales (1996) analyzed the relationship between industry-level growth performance across countries and financial …show more content…

The ratio of liquid liabilities (M3) to GDP, ratio of domestic credit provided by the banking sector to GDP and domestic credit to the private sector to GDP were the financial depth indicators used. Using the Granger causality test, the study found a short-run relationship between financial development and economic growth.
Arestis.P (2004) argue that the relationship between financial structure and economic development can be examined on the basis of competing theories of financial structure. According to his research results, market-based financial systems reduce inefficiencies associated with banks and enhance economic development better than bank-based financial system. He also notes that the structure of financial system changes in different stages of economic developm
Hamid et al. (2013) examined the causality between financial development, investment and economic growth in Tunisia for the period 1961-2010. They used a multivariate framework based on Vector Error Correction Model and co integration techniques. Their short run estimates revealed that finance does not lead to economic growth while the long run results showed the opposite conclusion. They also found out that investment was the main engine for economic growth both in the short and long

    The FDIC protected the deposits of individuals at banks by insuring up to 2,500 dollars of their deposit. This policy, along with other efforts to mend the faults in the banking system, were established in the banks across the country. By doing this, bank closures that had become extraordinarily prevalent in the early 1930’s were almost nonexistent in 1934 and beyond; many financial institutions during the Roaring 20’s invested money in unstable stocks in hopes of making significant gains, and this played a major role in the bank failures following the stock market crash. By restricting the banks and requiring them to insure the deposits of American citizens, the FDIC was successful in making the banking systems of America safer and more

    Beginning with bank reform, the New Dealers were able to maintain oversight in the banking industry, which had previously been an unregulated and unpredictable source of capital. The Glass-Steagal Act and the Emergency Banking Act signaled a shift from a lassiez faire approach to the banking industry to one that ensured banks were making responsible loans and not gambling with depositor’s savings in the stock market. By not allowing banks who were considered “irresponsible’ to reopen and separating the savings and investment functions of the banks, a more secure system began to emerge. The impact of this legislation was immediate, as bank failures dropped dramatically. Additionally, major breakdowns in the banking industry were avoided until fairly recently, which came as a result of the repeal of Glass-Steagal.

    The recent financial crisis is attributed in many ways to financial innovations in the mortgage market that made it easier for people with high risk of default to access credit. Although these financial innovations gave millions of Americans an opportunity to purchase a home, their overall social benefit is questionable (Johnson, Kwak 2012). In his address at the Federal Reserve Bank in Atlanta in March 2007 Ben Bernanke pointed out, that despite "the challenges and the risks that financial innovation may create, we should also always keep in view the enormous economic benefits that flow from a healthy and innovative financial sector" (Bernanke 2007). The goal of financial innovations is to make financial intermediation easier, moving capital to where it is needed most. Bernanke continued to state that financial innovations promoted economic growth, and made the economy more resilient to busts.

    When was the start of the recent financial crises? Fitzpatrick IV and Thompson (2011) asserted that “many observers point to the summer of 2007 as the starting date for the financial crisis that would bring down most of the U.S. investment banking industry” (p. 1). However, there are many conditions that led up to the crisis, including housing policies and interest rates. Besides banks, government, homebuyers, and rating agencies had a role in the financial crisis, which led to the federal government actions to pass the Dodd-Frank Act to solve and avoid another crisis in the future.

  • Financial Deregulation Essay

    President Ronald Reagan once stated that “Government exists to protect us from each other. Where government has gone beyond its limits is in deciding to protect us from ourselves.” To many, this statement might infer that government is watching over its constituents and institutions by implementing systems of checks and balances so that moral, physical and financial harm are not done to one another. Unfortunately, Reagan’s administration is credited with beginning a 30-year period of financial deregulation which began with allowing savings and loan institutions to invest deposits into risky securities. The result of such deregulation was a 124 billion dollar bailout for these institutions funded by the American taxpayers.
