AB - Financial intermediaries and markets can alleviate market frictions through producinginformation and risk sharing in different ways. In practice, the structure of financialsystems can be bank-based or market-based, varying across countries. The influence offinancial structure on economic growth is dependent on the overall development of thereal economy and institutions. The association is also different during crisis periods andnon-crisis periods. Market-based systems tend to have an advantage for financiallydependent industries in good times but are a disadvantage in bad times. The recent rapidgrowth of shadow banking benefits economic growth but also poses additional risks tothe financial system and real economy.
