b) Themainconclusion
Recentlyseveralrelatedliteratureonlaw,institutions,finance,andeconomicgrowthhaveemergedinfinancialeconomics.However,Chinaisdifferent.ThispapercomparesChina’sformalsystemsoflawandfinanceandthealternativeinstitutionalarrangementsandgoverningmechanismswithotherdevelopedandemergingcountries.AndtheauthorsexaminetherelationbetweenthedevelopmentofthesesystemsandChina’economicgrowth.
Withoneofthelargestandfastestgrowingeconomiesintheworld,Chinadiffersfrommostofthecountriesstudiedinthelaw,institutions,finance,andgrowthliterature,andisanimportantcounterexampletotheexistingfindings:
Itslegalandfinancialsystemsaswellasinstitutionsareallunderdeveloped,butitseconomyhasbeengrowingataveryfastrate.AfterexaminingthreesectorsoftheChineseeconomy,thelaw–finance–growthnexusestablishedbytheexistingliteratureworkswellfortheStateandListedsectors.Withpoorlegalprotectionofminorityandoutsideinvestors,(standard)externalmarketsareweak,andthegrowthofthesefirmsisslowornegative.However,thesize,growth,andimportanceofthesetwosectorsintheeconomyaredominatedbythoseofthePrivateSector.Inspiteofrelativelypoorerapplicablelegalprotectionandstandardfinancingchannels,thePrivateSectorhasbeengrowingmuchfasterthantheothersandhasbeencontributingtomostoftheeconomy’sgrowth.Thesystemofalternativemechanismsandinstitutions,suchasthosebasedonreputationandrelationships,playsanimportantroleinsupportingthegrowthinthePrivateSector,andtheyaregoodsubstitutesforstandardcorporategovernancemechanismsandfinancingchannels.
