Resumo: This paper tests the hypothesis that bank credit is necessary for economic growth, depending on the country's level of economic and financial development. It also seeks to verify whether the relationship between financial development and economic growth is monotonic. For this, Granger's causality methodology is used for panel data, with data from 106 countries for the period between 1970 and 2016. It is observed that there was an expansion of world credit above the economic growth observed over the studied period. The main empirical findings indicate that, in general, credit causes economic growth and vice versa, in addition to verifying the non-monotonicity of the relationship between financial development and economic growth, so that, for very low credit / GDP indices, the causality of the credit to GDP is not verified.

Busca-se também verificar se a relação entredesenvolvimento financeiro e crescimento econômico é monotônica. Método: Para isso, a metodologia de causalidade de Granger é utilizada para dados em painel referentes 106 países para o período entre 1970 e 2016. Resultado: Observa-se que houve uma expansão do crédito mundial acima do crescimento econômico observado ao longo do período estudado. Os principais achados empíricos indicam que, de maneira generalizada, o crédito provoca crescimento econômico e vice-versa, além de verificar a não monotonicidade da relação entre desenvolvimento financeiro e crescimento econômico, sendo que para índices crédito/PIB muito baixos a causalidade do crédito para o PIB não é verificada. Conclusões: A maioria dos países analisados ainda não atingiu um nível de desenvolvimento financeiro considerado alto. Assim, ainda há espaço para a aplicação de políticas de incentivo à melhoria do sistema financeiro.UFSC2021-06-18info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/economia/article/view/7286810.5007/2175-8085.2021.e72868Textos de Economia; v. 24 n. 1 (2021); 1-242175-80850103-6017reponame:Textos de Economia (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/economia/article/view/72868/46704Copyright (c) 2021 Textos de Economiainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessVasconcelos, Marcos RobertoReginato, Vitor GomesCunha, Marina Silva da2023-09-01T16:49:22Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/72868Revistahttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/economia/indexPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/economia/oaitextos.economia@contato.ufsc.br || portaldeperiodicos.bu@contato.ufsc.br2175-80850103-6017opendoar:2023-09-01T16:49:22Textos de Economia (Online) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false
