Is there any relationship between financial system and development?


Joseph Schumpeter in his book-Theory of Economic Development published in 1934 talks about the relationship between credit (a form of finance) and innovation which causes economic development.

"The banker stands between those who wish to form new combinations and the possessors of productive means. He is essentially a phenomenon of development, though only when no central authority directs the social process. He makes possible the carrying out of new combinations, authorises people, in the name of the society as it were, to form them. He is the ephor of the exchange economy.”

Prior Savings Theory
 This

theory regards saving as a prerequisite or a determinant of investment. It holds that all savings in the economy can find investment outlets. to this theory if Investments exceed savings then it generates inflation in the economy. there should be an emphasis on mobilisation of savings from each nook and corner of the country to raise the availability of savings to finance higher level of investments.

theory establishes that investments is financed by

was argued by J.M. Keynes and James Tobin. rather saving. is not determined by savings investment determines its own

 Investment

 If

there is monetary expansion to finance investment over saving then if there is excess capacity in the economy it will generate income and therefore matching savings.

Theory of Forced Savings


At full employment rise in investment will increase inflation that will reduce the real interest rates and this cause shift in portfolio-pattern causing people to use more capital intensive techniques which causes output and savings to rise. This is called portfolio or Tobin‟s effect. At full employment if investment increases it leads to inflation which benefits the capitalists and that causes there income to grow and therefore savings. This is know as distribution effect.



Financial Regulation Theory
 This

theory is primarily based on the article written by G.A. AKERLOF (1970) “The Market for Lemons: Quality Uncertainty and the Market Mechanism.” Quarterly Journal of Economics, Vol. 84 (1970), pp. 488–500 and Joseph Stiglitz and A. Weiss(1981), “Credit Rationing in Markets with Imperfect Information”,

were awarded Nobel Prize with A. Michael Spence in 2001.

Financial Regulation Theory


There is imperfect information in the market. If there is no control over interest rates then bad borrowers will replace good borrowers ultimately to cause the failure of repayments. there is too much competition that will lead to frequent change of the lenders which will create greater degree of asymmetric environment in the economy.
