Present study examines impact of governance quality on financial sector development using a selected empirical dataset from the Middle Eastern countries for the period 1996-2022. For this purpose, overall governance quality index and six dimensions of governance quality index (dimensions of accountability, political stability and absence of violence/terrorism, government efficiency, regulatory quality, control of corruption, rule of law) on financial sector development are estimated using a quantile panel regression approach. Reason for using this technique is based on the argument that impact of governance quality is conditional on existing level of financial development and that sovereign financial development policies should be adjusted in countries with low, medium, and different levels to be effective. The empirical estimation based on quantile regression showed that overall governance quality index and its different dimensions have positive and significant effects in most quantiles. Furthermore, in most cases, the impact of governance quality is greater in magnitude in the higher quantiles. The empirical findings of this study show that differences in improvement of governance institutions explain differences between countries in terms of financial sector development. Based on conclusions drawn from findings; it is suggested that authorities should prepare groundwork for development of financial systems by expanding urbanization and facilitating entry into global village.

Creating the necessary conditions to promote continuous and stable economic growth is one of the macroeconomic goals of countries. conomic freedom is one of the factors affecting economic growth; through trade freedom, the removal of unnecessary government barriers, and property rights, it can provide incentives for investment, improve skills, and transfer technology, and pave the way for the development of productive activities. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to examine the impact of economic freedom on economic growth in selected developed countries (OECD) and developing countries (selected MENA) in the period 1998-2022 using the generalized moments method.The results of the study indicate that there is an inverse and significant relationship between inflation and economic growth in the two groups of countries studied; while the relationship between economic freedom, foreign direct investment, degree of trade openness, growth in the previous period, and government spending on economic growth in the two groups of countries studied was direct and significant. Since economic freedom has the greatest impact on growth, it can be acknowledged that improving economic freedom will provide incentives for all types of investments, accumulation of skills, as well as technology transfer and efficient use of investments, and will increase strength and competitiveness, and as a result, will lead to the realization of stable economic growth.

امروزه توسعه مالی به طور گسترده به عنوان یک کاتالیزور کلیدی برای رشد و پیشرفت اقتصادی شناخته شده است. با این حال، تأثیر توسعه مالی بر پایداری محیطزیست نامشخص است. علاوه بر این، ممکن است توسعه مالی اثرات غیرخطی و متفاوتی بر پایداری محیطزیست در کشورهای مختلف داشته باشد. از اینرو، هدف این مطالعه، مقایسه اثرات نامتقارن توسعه مالی بر ردپای اکولوژیکی در سه کشور خاورمیانه (ایران، ترکیه و عربستان) با رهیافت الگوی خودرگرسیونی با وقفههای توزیعی غیرخطی (NARDL) طی دوره زمانی 1990- 2022 میباشد. تجزیه و تحلیل نامتقارن، نتایج قابل توجهی را در مورد تفاوت اثرات مثبت و منفی توسعه مالی بر محیطزیست ارائه میدهد. در مورد ایران، افزایش توسعه مالی سبب افزایش ردپای اکولوژیکی میشود در حالی که افزایش بخش مالی ترکیه و عربستان به بهبود محیطزیست کمک میکند. بهرحال کاهش توسعه مالی اثر معناداری از نظر آماری بر ردپای اکولوژیکی در ایران و عربستان ندارد ولی سبب بدتر شدن کیفیت محیطزیست میشود. بنابراین یافتهای تجربی، این مطالعه پیامدهای سیاستی متفاوتی برای هر کشور در جهت دستیابی به توسعه پایدار ارائه میدهد.
