Cooperative banks and local economic growth

Abstract: In this paper we study the impact of cooperative banks on local economic development. Working on Italian municipality data in the period 2001-2011, we find that this type of banks plays a distinct role in enhanced local economic performance -particularly income, employment and firms' birth growth rates -and that their presence is more effective compared to conventional banks. This evidence upholds the view that their more widespread presence would be beneficial, especially in those areas that suffer from lower… Show more

“…Indeed, the findings of the two methodologies provide similar effects in terms of sign and statistical significance. The only exceptions are the direct effect of Funding div for the cost side model, which confirms Coccorese and Shaffer's (2020) findings that a less diversified fund strategy increases the cost inefficiency of Italian CCBs, and the indirect effect of Income div on the production side. Tables 13 and 14 report the estimated results.…”

“…An abundance of the literature is present on the association between finance and economic growth (e.g., (King & Levine, 1993a;Levine, 1999Levine, , 2005). First, a large number of literature presented by (e.g., (Boot & Thakor, 1997;Coccorese & Shaffer, 2021;Diamond, 1984;Silva, Tabak, & Laiz, 2021;Stulz, 2000;Yanik, Binte Osman, & Ozturk, 2020) on banks role and allocation of capital for economic development; very few studies conducted with the perspective of stock market uniqueness and role in the allocation of funds and boosting market performance (e.g., (Allen, Gale, et al, 2000;Arestis, Demetriades, & Luintel, 2001;Sulong, Saleem, & Ahmed, 2018)). In addition, the empirical shreds of evidence are limited for equity market development for market performances.…”
