Title: | FINANCIALIZATION: CURSE OR SALVATION? THE CASE OF LATVIA, A SMALL AND POST- TRANSITION ECONOMY | Authors: | Stawska, Joanna Rupeika-Apoga, Ramona Malaczewski, Maciej D. Czechowska, Iwona Sol Murta, Fatima |

There is still some imprecision about the nature and dynamics of financialization, including its impact on the economy. The main task of the financial sector is to allocate funds for its most productive use, while ensuring sustainable development. Recent studies show that excessive financial deepening negatively impacts the economies of developed countries, but is this true for post-transition economies? The aim of this paper is to look into the relationship between financialization and the state of a small and post-transition economy, the Latvian economy. Using a European database and methodological framework we analyze this relationship in Latvia between 1999Q1 and 2017Q4. In our study, we apply the standard Vector Auto-Regressive model (VAR). Our research results do not indicate that financialization causes significant changes in the state of the Latvian economy. The interpretation of this result is related to the degree of financial deepening in Latvia | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/99370 | ISSN: | ISSN 2345-0282 | DOI: | 10.9770/jesi.2022.9.3(11) | Rights: | openAccess |
