“…negative mental health specification due to a lack of samples). The variable for people whose fathers were born in Africa (which according to the literature faces discriminatory environment [48]) was positively significant for the prevalence of depression and/or anxiety [OR = 1.73, 95%CI (1.31-2.28] (see Model B-5, Table 4), and was insignificant for prevalence of negative mental health (see Model A-5, Table 3).

We use a unique, large survey on health conditions conducted in Israel (10,331 respondents, 52.8% females, mean age 49.8) to explore whether clinical determined depression and/or anxiety has different associations in compare to non-clinical determined terms such as mental health. We find that absolute income is significantly associated with a decrease in negative mental health but have no significant association with depression and/or anxiety prevalence, whereas relative income is significantly associated with a decrease in depression and/or anxiety prevalence but have no significant association with negative mental health. The two specifications differed also with respect to several important risk factors, including personal attributes such as being of African origin, of a non-Jewish Arab minority or divorced. However, they were similar with general characteristics, such as participation in sport and smoking activities, whether a person has children, age and gender. Our results put forth sever questions about the wide use of non-clinical mental health, happiness and wellbeing as a sole proxy for a person's true wellbeing or utility.

Financial development negatively affects inequality and poverty in many countries. This research uniquely examines whether the negative effect of financial development on inequality in Israel is also significantly dependent on the gender, ethnic, and religious characteristics of the population. The results suggest that a part of the role that underdeveloped financial systems play in inequality may be due to favoritism toward advantaged majority groups regarding allocation of small business credit. The research has important policy implications regarding the role of financial system regulation and the effect of favoritism in determining inequality and poverty patterns.
