Title: Openness, Financial Markets, and Policies: Cross-Country and Dynamic Patterns

Author(s): Giuseppe Bertola and Anna Lo Prete

Publication Date: November 2008

Keyword(s): financial development, globalization and Social policy

Programme Area(s): International Macroeconomics

Abstract: We document significant and robust empirical relationships in cross-country panel data between government size or social expenditure on the one hand, and trade and financial development indicators on the other. Across countries, deeper economic integration is associated with more intense government redistribution, but more developed financial markets weaken that relationship. Over time, controlling for country-specific effects, public social expenditure appears to be eroded by globalization trends where financial market development can more easily substitute for it.
