Impacto de la inclusión financiera en el crecimiento y desarrollo económico de las naciones. Estudio para los años 2011 y 2014.

Abstract

Financial inclusion can be defined as the access (and use) to quality financial services by all society members, especially by the vulnerable sectors which are generally excluded from the financial system. The objective of this study is to analyze the contribution of financial inclusion to growth and economic development at a global level – including 141 nations – during the years 2011 and 2014. To do so, first, following methodologies proposed by different authors, we calculate a multidimensional indicator of financial inclusion (IF). Subsequently, multiple linear regression models are used, with the purpose of studying the role of financial inclusion in economic growth and development. The results obtained from the research will broaden the perspective on financial inclusion as a tool to boost growth and economic development.
