| Abstract: | The robustness of cross-sectional relationship between the size of a country's financial sector and its rate of economic growth is by now well established. The authors examine whether the strength of this relationship varies with the inflation rate. Using five-year average of standard measures of financial development, inflation, and growth for 84 countries 1960-1995, a series of rolling panel regressions show that there is an inflation threshold for the finance-growth relationship that lies between 13 and 25 percent. |
