| Abstract: | Using industry data from Eurostat and applying the Rajan-Zingales methodology, we investigate the real growth effects of banking sector integration in the European Union. Our sample stretches from 2000 until 2012 and includes the phase of rapid financial integration before the crisis as well as the following phase of financial fragmentation and bank deleveraging. We find evidence that banking sector integration had a more than four times stronger growth effect during the crisis than in normal times. Growth effects are also stronger in times of domestic bank deleveraging. We conclude that concerns of European policy makers about fragmentation in the European banking sector are justified and that future reintegration is an important building block of future growth perspectives in the European Union. |

| Abstract: | This study investigates the causality between financial depth and the economic performance of five selected large Asia-Pacific Countries consisting of China, India, Korea, Australia and New Zealand. Using pooled OLS regression for 20 year period annual data (1991-2012), the study finds bi-directional long-run causality between financial depth and economic growth. The study also find that ancillary variables such as inflation and investment share significant and positively caused economic growth. However, when financial depth become dependent variable only investment share provide clear relationship. The important implication for policy maker is that they should either improved financial markets or economic activities for future development and sustainability. |

| Abstract: | The objective of this paper is to examine the influence of financial development consisting of financial depth, investment share and inflation on economic growth of ASEAN during 2002 through 2011. Using the fixed effect panel data OLS regression estimations, the study shows that share investment and inflation plays an important role in explaning real output. However, it is quite surprise to see that financial depth does not have any significant contribution toward real output. The findings is very important to policymaker for the ASEAN. They should aim at improving capital market environment and at the same time try reducing inflation rate to a level that can be sustainable for their future economic growth. |
