1) Which were the primary causes of the Great Depression? According to Walton and Rockoff, an acceptable explanation for the Great Depression has to distinguish between the initial forces, which brought a downturn in financial activity, and later events, that turned a downturn into a calamity.

First, there was a decline in the construction industry that began 1925, that had a significant impact on the depression. Second, the agricultural sector suffered greatly, with falling world prices and massive indebtedness (422). Walton and Rockoff ...

Financial Development and Economic Growth bear a strong relationship with each other. “Theory and evidence imply that better developed financial systems ease external financing constraints facing firms, which illuminates one mechanism through which financial development influences economic growth” (Levine, 2005). Studies suggest that an economy’s financial system cuts transaction and information costs which in turn results into mobilizing savings, better investments and proper resource allocation. These in turn bring about innovation in technology, accumulation of capital and economic growth. Levine (2005) suggests that when financial intermediaries are present in the market, investors gain access to high quality and ...
