| description |
Each institutional arrangement in a
financial system has both advantages and disadvantages in
mobilizing savings, allocating capital, diversifying risks,
and processing information when facilitating financial
transactions. Meanwhile, the factor endowment in an economy
at each stage of its development determines the optimal
industrial structure in the real sector, which in turn
constitutes the main determinant of the size distribution
and risk features of viable enterprises with implications
for the appropriate institutional arrangement of financial
services at that stage. Therefore, there is an endogenously
determined optimal financial structure for the economy at
each stage of development. |
