Abstract

This study considers the determinants of financialization in a sample of 158 countries over the period of 2000-2016. The atheoretical Bayesian model averaging approach was applied in order to identify the macroeconomic determinants of the phenomenon. A broad set of variables was tested without adopting any theoretical perspective. It was revealed that the main determinants of financialization are connected with the real sphere of economy, demographic issues and the new conditions in which the global economy functions. At the same time, factors from the financial and monetary sphere, such as interest rates and CPI, were revealed to be insignificant. The Bayesian model averaging approach could be regarded as a promising method for quantifying and empirically investigating such a complex phenomenon as financialization

Este estudio aborda los determinantes de la financiarización en una muestra de 158 países durante el periodo 2000 a2016. Se aplicó el enfoque de promediado bayesiano del modelo teórico para identificar los determinantes macroeconómicos del fenómeno. Se probó un amplio conjunto de variables sin adoptar ninguna perspectiva teórica. Se reveló que los principales determinantes de la financiarización están relacionados con la esfera real de la economía, los problemas demográficos y las nuevas condiciones en las que funciona la economía global. Al mismo tiempo, los factores del ámbito financiero y monetario, como las tasas de interés y el IPC, resultaron insignificantes. El enfoque de promediado bayesiano del modelo podría considerarse un método prometedor para cuantificar e investigar empíricamente un fenómeno tan complejo como la financiarización
