Abstract

This paper explores the causal relationship between financial sector development and globalization for twenty-one sub-Saharan African (SSA, hereafter) countries during the period 1980-2017. To measure financial sector development, we use a more comprehensive index of financial development, meanwhile, we use the economic dimension of globalization and both the de facto and the de jure economic globalization indices. Applying a panel bootstrap causality test which controls for both cross-sectional dependence and heterogeneity across countries, empirical results provide some evidence of causality between financial development and economic globalization indices though there is no causality for half of the sample.
