Correlates of Job Satisfaction Among Bank Employees in Nigeria

Despite the abundant literature on financial development and economic growth nexus, the debate is far from settled. In this paper we create a financial development index using principal component analysis (PCA) and use it to examine the effect of financial intermediation on economic growth within the East African Community (EAC) using panel data over the period 1985-2017. The DOLS and FMOLS models are estimated since they control for heterogeneity, serial correlation, small sample bias and endogeneity in the presence of long run relationship. The results indicate that financial intermediation has a positive and significant effect on economic performance of the EAC countries in the long run. Among the controls, capital formation and FDI also have positive effects on growth while the growth of the population reduces the per capita income.

Financial intermediation and economic growth in the East African Community: A financial index approach

The relationship between financial intermediation and economic growth has been under investigation for decades. Some studies have been conducted using panels of countries with or without similar characteristics while others have been carried out on individual countries. In less-developed countries, the evidence about the link between financial intermediation and economic growth is particularly deficient. This study attempts to empirically investigate the possible cointegration and causal link between financial intermediation and economic growth in Rwanda, using quarterly data spanning from 1996Q1 to 2010Q4. A Structural Vector Autoregressive model is used to analyse the short-run dynamics between variables of interest. Findings of the study show evidence of a cointegrating relationship between financial intermediation and economic growth in the country. It is further observed that a shock to domestic private sector credit accounts for the largest proportion of fluctuations in real output growth, while the shock to potential liquidity comes second. This supports the supply-leading hypothesis in the intermediation link between financial sector development and economic growth in Rwanda, which suggests that the country can achieve significant economic growth if it reinforces incentives to attract businesses that can easily make use of the present financial services.
