on Financial Development and Growth |
| By: | Stefano Schiavo (University of Trento) |
| Abstract: | The paper analyzes the relationship between trade, financial integration and business cycle synchronization in the euro area. The introduction of the euro has had a noticeable impact on European financial markets: we find evidence that capital markets integration exerts a positive effect on output correlation. This in turn has two major implications. First, it corroborates the hypothesis of the endogeneity of optimum currency areas, whereby after joining a monetary union countries fit better standard OCA criteria; second, it provides European policymakers with yet another reason to purse financial integration in the euro area (and in prospective members as well). |

| Abstract: | The object of this paper is to analyse the links between income distribution and growth in a finance-led economy, with a post Keynesian "stock-flow" macroeconomic model. In fact, the increased share of financial activities creates a new macroeconomic and income distribution dynamic. We will use the steady-state case and simulations experiments to analyse model reaction to a change in financial key parameter when the wage share is endogeneous. |
| Keywords: | Financialization, labor's share, capital accumulation, simulations experiments. |

| Abstract: | The Finance-Growth Nexus is a classical source of debate among economists. This contribution o¤ers regional evidence on this issue in order to see if it can meet the data within a 140 years old economic union Italy -, in the ideal context for its main competitor - New Economic Geography - and in order to avoid pooling between developed and developing countries. The results for this application support the view that nance leads growth, reject its possible endogeneity and shows its robustness even in presence of spatial unobserved heterogeneity. |
