Growth Model with Financial Deepening and Productivity Heterogeneity

Author

  • Quoc Hung Nguyen

Abstract

This paper studies the effects of financial deepening on growth dynamics and productivity in an economy where heterogeneous entrepreneurs face endogenous borrowing constraints. Quantitative results from a calibrated model suggest that 38% of Japan's total factor productivity from 1961 to 1991 can be explained by the financial deepening effects and the convergence speed is 29% slower than that implied by neoclassical models. The present paper also theoretically shows that an economy with a higher degree of productivity heterogeneity is more likely to avoid the poverty trap and converge with a slower speed to its steady state.
