An Empirical Analysis on the Relationship between Financial Development and Economic Growth in Laos

金融发展与经济增长的关系是经济学研究的热点问题。本文从老挝金融发展规模、金融结构和金融效率出发,基于格兰杰检验方法,对老挝金融发展与经济增长关系进行研究。得出的结论是:老挝金融发展是经济增长的原因,而老挝经济增长不是金融发展的原因。事实上,一国或一个地区的金融发展对经济增长有重要的推动作用。因此,老挝应大力发展金融来促进老挝经济增长。

The relationship between financial development and economic growth is an economically hot is- sue. This article, using the Granger test method, attempts to do an empirical study on the relationship between financial development and economic growth in Laos. This paper starts from the scale of financial development, financial structure and financial efficiency in Laos. And it arrives at the conclusion that financial development in Laos is the result of economic growth, but not vice verse.

Therefore, Laos should vigorously develop finance in order to spur the economic development.
