英文文献摘要:
This study complements existing literature by investigating how investment-driven finance affects inequality in Africa. The empirical evidence is based on restricted and unrestricted Two-Stage Least Squares and a pre-crisis periodicity (1980-2002). Inequality is measured with estimated household income inequality whereas financial development is proxied with financial depth (money supply and liquid liabilities), financial efficiency (at banking and financial system levels), financial activity (from banking and financial system perspectives) and financial size. The findings show that with the exception of foreign investment, financial dynamics of depth, efficiency, activity and size enhance equalizing income-distribution through domestic, private and public investment channels. Policy implications are discussed with particular emphasis on improving inclusive development for the post-2015 sustainable development agenda. Notably, in the current transition from Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), mobilizing domestic resources for investment purposes may have greater inclusive benefits than overly reliance on foreign sources of capital.
本研究通过调查投资驱动型金融如何影响非洲的不平等,对现有文献进行了补充。经验证据是基于限制和不限制两阶段最小二乘和危机前周期(1980-2002)。不平等是用估计的家庭收入不平等来衡量的,而金融发展则是由金融深度(货币供应和流动负债)、金融效率(在银行和金融体系层面)、金融活动(从银行和金融体系的角度)和金融规模来推动的。研究结果显示,除外国投资外,金融深度、效率、活动和规模的动态通过国内、私人和公共投资渠道促进了收入分配的均等化。会议讨论了对2015年后可持续发展议程的政策影响,特别强调了改善包容性发展。值得注意的是,在当前从千年发展目标向可持续发展目标的过渡中,调动国内资源用于投资可能比过度依赖外国资金来源带来更广泛的利益。
