金融发展与经济增长之间的关联性已为国外多个经济学家的实证研究所证实,比如美国学者戈德史密斯(1969)在对35个国家1860--1963年的数据进行计算、分析和研究后认为:在一个较长的分析期内,经济增长与金融发展水平大致平行,在一些国家,甚至还出现了较快的经济增长速度与超出平均水平的金融发展相联系的 The correlation between financial development and economic growth has been confirmed by empirical studies by several foreign economists. For example, the American scholar Goldsmith (1969) calculated and analyzed the data of 1860-1963 in 35 countries The study concluded that: in a longer period of analysis, economic growth is roughly parallel to the level of financial development, and in some countries, even faster economic growth has been associated with above-average financial development
