Research title: Financial Development, Growth Strategies and Structural Transformation
Research Summary
First, I find investigating whether banking sector development could impact on industrial strategy in developing countries – where their financial systems are predominantly bank-based (operating in a financially liberalized environment) crucial.
Next, I consider isolating the role of state intervention and financial liberalization in the economic diversification and industrial upgrading of resource-rich developing countries. In addition, the study seeks to examine the role of Global Value Chains in economic diversification and structural transformation of financially liberalized systems.
The findings could help inform development policy in developing countries if they must catch up with their developed counterparts.
