Financial market integration and economic growth in the EU
利用行业和企业层面数据，量化欧盟金融市场一体化对经济增长的贡献，并分析其在不同国家和部门的分布。
The current diversity in the degree of financial development across the EU can be a great opportunity at a time where this area is poised to become increasingly financially integrated. Integration should accelerate the development of the most backward financial markets, and allow companies from these countries to access more sophisticated credit and security markets. In line with a large recent literature, it is reasonable to expect that financial integration will have a ‘growth dividend’ in Europe. This paper attempts to quantify this growth dividend, using both industry and firm-level data to estimate the empirical relationship between financial market development and growth, and to gauge how it will distribute itself across countries and sectors. — Luigi Guiso, Tullio Jappelli, Mario Padula and Marco Pagano
