Globalización financiera y sus efectos sobre el desarrollo financiero

Abstract

This paper shows the empirical evidence about the nexus financial globalization-financial development, and the theoretical relationship between both, because this is important for the process of economic growth and development. A new empirical test is elaborated, with new indicators of financial globalization and financial development closer to theoretical and conceptual framework, and with a different inclusion of institutional variables. A dynamic panel data model is employed, the principal results indicate that financial globalization favors a financial system that improves its functions of corporate governance and to pool savings, but it damages the functions to provide information and to diversify risk.
