We revisit the relationship between financial development and economic growth in a panel of 52 middle income countries … financial development does not have a linear positive long-run impact on economic growth in this sample. When we consider a non …-linear relationship between financial development and growth, we find an inverted U-shaped relationship between finance and growth in the …
