“Globalization, Financial Development, and Economic Development” The title of this article is “Globalization, Financial Development, and Economic Development” and the authors are named Altug and Gorkemli Kazar. The publisher of this article is named “EconJournals” and the article was published in 2016. The authors are “investigating the relationship between financial development, globalization and economic growth for the case of the countries classified according to income levels over the period 1980-2010,” (Kazar). The social theory that is being investigated is how societies change and develop. Economic growth and financial development would change the way societies develop and prosper. The authors use three graphs as reference from ETH Zurich and one from The World Bank. The graphs from ETH Zurich show that “the income level increases between the years 1980 and 2010 because of economic globalization, social globalization, and political globalization,” (Kazar). The graph from the World Bank shows that “the income level increases between the same years because of domestic credit,” (Kazar). These graph gives visual aspects that help the reader understand what they are trying to convey. The specific issues being studied are all linked to economic growth and financial development. The authors use a certain method to help them in their research. “After considering the panel characteristics of the dataset, long-run relationships among financial development, economic growth and
Globalization’s impact on sustainable prosperity is examined in the source. It does this by asking a question. Also examined is the impact on all people and this would include both developing nations as well as developed nations. The source is also somewhat leading the reader to question the extent of the impact, which implies that there is a positive impact on sustainable prosperity. Also the fact that it states, “for all people” implies that all people benefit. While globalization may contribute to sustainability to a limited extent or in certain circumstances, on the whole, globalization degrades rather than builds sustainable prosperity. This will be explored through looking at globalization’s systems and forces, specifically consumerism, the media and transnational corporations.
As the world has been developing throughout the centuries there had been many changes of course. In this time that we live we look upon what will it be like to live in this world for people in the future and today in different parts of the world. When looking upon this view you can see that the globalization of our world has been improving sustainable prosperity. Throught time the ways our world has helped improve life in the future and
Sustainable prosperity is a very challenging task to completely fulfill. Various factors of society play a role in meeting everyone’s needs and creating equality to a degree among Earth. The United Nations, Privatization, and Trade Liberalization. Therefore globalization does contribute to sustainable prosperity for all people to a certain extent.
With the progression of globalization, commodities can be transferred to all over the world. That people from different countries can purchase the same products is no longer a dream, that also lead to the similarity between countries. Personally, I strongly believe that the development brings more negative influence to local communities than the positive ones.
It is fair to say that the ones who benefit the most in economic globalization are developed countries whose social productive forces are highly developed ((El-Ojeili, C. & Hayden, P., 2006.). However, it is difficult for developing countries that are relatively
According to Palley (2007), financialization causes economies to slow their growth and become fragile with a very real potential outcome being recession. When the financial sector has more power, it takes precedence over the real sector. It takes money from the real sector and gives it to the financial sector resulting in huge wage disparities and stagnation in the real sector. The effects on those outside of the financial sector have been great. Household debt to income ratios have increased, as have corporate debt to equity ratios
The issue of globalization for the people of the United States has been a long and terrifying problem for them. Although other countries many have had issues with this problem it appears the U.S. is still being affected by it to this day. Although not everyone in the United States may have been affected by the issue. Majority of the people (mid class and lower class) have somehow been affected by it or knows someone that has been affect because of it. This issue of globalization has been talked about by politicians so it appears it had to been a major impact to the country. Thus, this issue of globalization has been an issue for the United States for a long-time way before the twentieth centuries. Therefore, this paper will discuss what is globalization and how it has impacted Americans views and how some people’s views changed because of it and finally, what is the impact of communications technology. All these key topics will help with getting a better understanding of what these issue is and how it has affected society today.
In today’s world, with a few notable exceptions, nearly everyone in every region of the world has access to the same products, information and services. A long-distance relationship is no longer so distant, since each party involved in the relationship can communicate through Skype, Facebook or through any of the vast amount of social media available. A person in Easter Island, one of the most remote inhabited islands in the world, can go to the other side of the world and travel to Canada. An economic crisis in Argentina could affect the economic landscape in Brazil. A person in Chile or Peru can buy an Abercrombie and Fitch t-shirt because this transnational corporation decided to expand its market to developing countries, or as you might prefer, to emerging economies in South America. Although many of these examples might be trivial, these are the consequences of globalization.
This thesis investigates the long-run causality direction between financial markets development and economic growth in Croatia, Slovenia, Serbia and China for varying time periods using VAR models and Granger Causality methods. It also explores the interrelationships between variables using the Impulse Response Function. Financial industry consists of two main parts; debt and equity (Krugman and Obstfeld, 2009). These are also called debt and equity markets. Credit markets which are primarily consisted of banks are assumed to provide lending and saving channels for potential individual, private and public investors. Stock markets are the other crucial part of the financial system. These capital markets provide equity and direct form of
The idea of existence of correlation between financial development and economic growth was developed at the beginning of the last century (Schumpeter, 1912). It implies that well developed financial sector is able to enhance productivity and drive economy through making rational investment decisions and funding entrepreneurial innovative activities.
Economic development is a new concept that came about in the early twentieth century. Although, theorists argue that Karl Marx has alluded to the concept earlier in 1887 . Historically, the increasing importance of the concept can be traced back to the needs approach of the ILO , World Bank and Amartya Sen’s Capability approach (Sen, 1993). Gerald Meier defines economic development as ‘the process whereby the real per capita income of a country increases over a long period of time - subject to the stipulation that the number below an absolute poverty line does not increase and that the distribution of income does not become more unequal’. Wherein, there is evidently a strong relationship between economic growth and development. This essay analysis the concept of the two terms economic growth and economic development by examining their characteristic approaches. In turn, understanding the relationship between them.
Since the 1990s, the world economy has undergone profound historical changes that focus is reflected in the global economy as a whole, has never been a time like this, the economic development of all countries closely together to form the world economy integration, both in developed and developing countries, or countries with economies in transition, businesses dependent on the world economy is growing, the development of the world economy, is an inevitable result. Economic integration in the world system is highly dependent on individual enterprises, whether a country or a change in the enterprise, will cause a corresponding change in other sectors, resulting directly or indirectly. In every enterprise, it is possible to break through their limitations in the national market size and resource allocation, and a place in the fierce international competition, so that the world economic integration has become the first international development of the power companies
Capital markets or today commonly known as stock markets have played a lesser role in investigating the role of financial development on economic growth since the researchers have always been more oriented to investigate the effect of banks. This can be explained by the fact that stock markets are a relatively new concept compared to banks. In the last three decades availability of data regarding capital markets and increase in theoretical literature suggests that well functioning stock markets can play an important role in economic development has spured research in this field. Trough instruments like diversification of risk, increased liquidity, corporate due diligence, manager control and collection and processing of important information well-functioning stock markets can spur long-run economic growth by changing levels of technical progress, savings rates and efficiency of economy.
The theoretical framework on the effects of capital market on economic growth dates back to the work of Schumpeter, (1911) which explained that a well developed financial system can facilitate technological innovation and economic growth through the provision of financial services and resources to investors. The above argument of Schumpeter, (1911) was later advanced as the McKinnon-Shaw, (1973) hypothesis, which is a policy analysis tool for developing countries with strong recommendation and high priority on the efficiency of financial systems in facilitating capital accumulation and financial intermediation.
Economic globalization, or the continuous increase of worldwide interconnectedness, has a vast impact on many countries, and among these impacts are economic changes, such as an increased Gross Domestic Product. An increased Gross Domestic Product is often beneficial for states, as it is an indicator of overall income. If overall income is increased due to economic globalization, there will be an increased budget for states to spend on a variety of public services, such as education and healthcare, which would therefore increase the standard of living in that state. Economic globalization has become more evident in an industrialized and technologically advanced international sphere, and this can be exemplified by Poland’s accession into the European Union in 2004, which has resulted in an increased economic welfare. Poland’s surge in economic welfare can be see seen through an increase in Gross Domestic Product, which acts as a reflection of an increase in exported goods, and a lower unemployment rate.
