We find that an expansion of credit has a positive effect on per capita output growth only up to a point. Beyond this … threshold the impact of finance on growth is not statistically significant anymore. We show, however, that the estimated non … impact on growth in mature financial systems, and include the magnitude of financial cycles as well as the importance of non …
