Research on the Non-linear Effect of Financialization on Economic Growth
Tian Xinmin Wu Xiaoting
Abstract:Looking at the evolution of the world economy,financialization is an inevitable trend accompanied by the development of market economy and financial deepening. It has universality and regularity. From the financial endogenous perspective,this paper constructs a dynamic mechanism for optimal formation of financialization and economic growth,and analyzes the dynamic characteristics of optimal financialization,deviation from steady state and recovery mechanisms,and further builds a comprehensive financial index. Then applying MS model and TR model to empirically analyze the non-linear correlation between financialization and economic growth,the results show that:(1) The impact of financialization on economic growth has obvious “regional transfer” characteristics;(2) Financialization has obvious “double-threshold” effect on economic growth. Both of the two non-linear models can well explain the phenomenon of “shift from real economy to virtual economy” in our country in recent years.
