Abstract

We examine the determinants of financial development using our global sample and employing different measures of financial development that assess the degree of depth and efficiency of financial intermediaries. We use instrumental variable Bayesian model averaging to test competing theories with this unifying framework. After examining nearly 20 potential determinants of financial development, we find that the rule of law, as well as some of its components, is the most important. In addition, our results suggest that wealth inequality is irrelevant to banking sector development but positively associated with stock market development.

金融发展的决定因素：来自贝叶斯模型平均的证据

我们使用我们的全球样本，并采用不同的金融发展指标来评估金融中介机构的深度和效率程度，来检验金融发展的决定因素。我们使用工具变量贝叶斯模型平均来测试竞争理论与这个统一的框架。在研究了金融发展的近20个潜在决定因素后，我们发现法治及其一些组成部分是最重要的。此外，我们的研究结果表明，财富不平等与银行业发展无关，但与股市发展呈正相关。

期刊介绍： Economic Systems is a refereed journal for the analysis of causes and consequences of the significant institutional variety prevailing among developed, developing, and emerging economies, as well as attempts at and proposals for their reform. The journal is open to micro and macro contributions, theoretical as well as empirical, the latter to analyze related topics against the background of country or region-specific experiences. In this respect, Economic Systems retains its long standing interest in the emerging economies of Central and Eastern Europe and other former transition economies, but also encourages contributions that cover any part of the world, including Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, or Africa.
