New Approaches to Financial Capacity Assessments(Gourdon et al., 2023):
Gourdon and colleagues present refined methodologies for evaluating financial performance and capacity. The study emphasizes the limitations of traditional assessments and proposes dynamic approaches such as using productivity metrics and average production figures. By incorporating these advanced methodologies, the research offers a comprehensive framework for understanding financial institutions’ capacity, aiding policymakers in tackling inefficiencies and optimizing performance.
Impact of Financial Institutions on Economic Growth (David, 2017):
David’s research explores the relationship between the growth of financial institutions and national economic development from 1990 to 2015. Using econometric models, the study finds a positive correlation between the expansion of financial institutions and GDP growth, particularly in emerging economies. The findings highlight the pivotal role that financial institutions play in fostering employment, trade, and economic resilience.
