Abstract
This research explores how new financial technologies are able to resolve economic stagnation by considering two dimensions of financial technology’s spread: the spread to poor people and that to rural area people. Based on a sample of 109 countries, our findings indicate that the spread of new financial technologies to poor people not only benefits economic growth directly, but also generates an indirect positive influence on economic growth via the channel of financial institutions’ development. By comparison, the effect of spreading financial technologies to rural area people on stimulating economic growth is insignificant. Lastly, we offer some policy implications associated with the results.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
