Financial crises and economic growth : a panel data approach for OECD countries
| Resumo: | This dissertation examines the relationship between financial crises and economic growth, using a panel data approach for OECD countries, from 1967 to 2023. This data was split between macroeconomic variables, varying from 1980 to 2023, and financial stress variables, varying from 1967 to 2018. Through applying a variety of econometric models, namely random and fixed effects, as well as instrumental variable regressions, the study focus on the relationships between financial crises, financial stress and economic growth. For the computed regressions were employed both financial stress and macroeconomic variables and its impact on economic growth was assessed. The results presented in this paper allow a better understanding of financial crises by policymakers, since it covers a considerable number of countries with different stages of economic growth and a considerable time period. We also identify periods of heightened financial stress with past financial crises, which may attenuate future ones. |
