ABSTRACT The aim of this paper is to investigate whether financial development and trade openness enhance economic growth in 11 new EU member states. While the overwhelming studies employ a simple measure of finance (credit to GDP ratio or stock market capitalization), we run growth regressions using a new IMF broad-based measure, which covers three dimensions of financial development: depth, access, and efficiency. We use a bootstrap panel-data approach based on seemingly unrelated regression (SUR) systems, which takes into account cross-sectional dependency and slope heterogeneity among countries. Such an approach gives separate regression coefficients for each country. The main findings are as follows: (1) the statistically significant unidirectional Granger causality from finance to economic growth is evidenced in five countries under examination (Bulgaria, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, and Slovenia); (2) trade openness is statistically significant Granger-cause of growth in six new EU member states (Croatia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia, and Slovenia); (3) the reverse causalities, i.e. running from growth to finance were found in two countries (Hungary and Slovenia), and from growth to trade openness in Croatia. The policy-oriented recommendation is that new EU member states from Central and Eastern Europe may gain pro-growth benefits from further finance and trade development, however, the policy-makers should be aware of possible nonlinearities and conditionality of these relationships.

金融和贸易促进欧盟新成员国的经济增长:格兰杰小组引导因果关系法

摘要 本文的目的是调查金融发展和贸易开放是否促进了 11 个欧盟新成员国的经济增长。虽然绝大多数研究都使用简单的金融衡量标准(信贷与 GDP 的比率或股票市值),但我们使用新的 IMF 广泛衡量标准来运行增长回归,该衡量标准涵盖金融发展的三个维度:深度、获取和效率。我们使用基于看似无关回归 (SUR) 系统的引导面板数据方法,该方法考虑了国家之间的横截面依赖性和斜率异质性。这种方法为每个国家提供了单独的回归系数。主要发现如下:(1) 从金融到经济增长的统计显着的单向格兰杰因果关系在五个接受审查的国家(保加利亚、立陶宛、波兰、罗马尼亚和斯洛文尼亚)中得到证明;(2) 贸易开放是欧盟六个新成员国(克罗地亚、拉脱维亚、立陶宛、罗马尼亚、斯洛伐克和斯洛文尼亚)增长的统计显着格兰杰原因;(3) 在两个国家(匈牙利和斯洛文尼亚)发现了相反的因果关系,即从增长到金融,克罗地亚从增长到贸易开放。以政策为导向的建议是,来自中欧和东欧的新欧盟成员国可能会从进一步的金融和贸易发展中获得有利于增长的利益,但是,政策制定者应该意识到这些关系可能存在的非线性和条件。和斯洛文尼亚);(2) 贸易开放是欧盟六个新成员国(克罗地亚、拉脱维亚、立陶宛、罗马尼亚、斯洛伐克和斯洛文尼亚)增长的统计显着格兰杰原因;(3) 在两个国家(匈牙利和斯洛文尼亚)发现了相反的因果关系,即从增长到金融,克罗地亚从增长到贸易开放。以政策为导向的建议是,来自中欧和东欧的新欧盟成员国可能会从进一步的金融和贸易发展中获得有利于增长的利益,但是,政策制定者应该意识到这些关系可能存在的非线性和条件。和斯洛文尼亚);(2) 贸易开放是欧盟六个新成员国(克罗地亚、拉脱维亚、立陶宛、罗马尼亚、斯洛伐克和斯洛文尼亚)增长的统计显着格兰杰原因;(3) 在两个国家(匈牙利和斯洛文尼亚)发现了相反的因果关系,即从增长到金融,克罗地亚从增长到贸易开放。以政策为导向的建议是,来自中欧和东欧的新欧盟成员国可能会从进一步的金融和贸易发展中获得有利于增长的利益,但是,政策制定者应该意识到这些关系可能存在的非线性和条件。两个国家(匈牙利和斯洛文尼亚)从增长到金融,克罗地亚从增长到贸易开放。以政策为导向的建议是,来自中欧和东欧的新欧盟成员国可能会从进一步的金融和贸易发展中获得有利于增长的利益,但是,政策制定者应该意识到这些关系可能存在的非线性和条件。两个国家(匈牙利和斯洛文尼亚)从增长到金融,克罗地亚从增长到贸易开放。以政策为导向的建议是,来自中欧和东欧的新欧盟成员国可能会从进一步的金融和贸易发展中获得有利于增长的利益,但是,政策制定者应该意识到这些关系可能存在的非线性和条件。
