ABSTRACT
Financial development and economic growth are greatly related. There is increasing
relevant literature, and research perspective also began to micro-macro, from country to
region. But look at home and abroad, the author found that such studies based on
empirical analysis focused mostly on the financial aggregates, rather than from the
financial structure, especially the structure of financial assets. Growth of the total
regional financial is important, but in the long run, if the financial asset structure and
regional economic growth are incompatible, the local financial development will also
be difficult to sustain, thereby affecting the sustained and steady economic growth.
Therefore, the structure of financial assets in the regional financial development and
economic growth has a very important role. Based on this, this paper takes the case of
Jiangsu Province,whose financial and economic development is relatively fast,
investigates the links between the regional financial assets structure and economic
growth.
This paper first discusses the close relationship between the regional financial asset
structure, financial development and economic growth. Then using the Tobin model of
monetary assets, explores the interaction mechanisms between the regional financial
assets structure and economic growth. Taking the case study of Jiangsu, from the
external and internal structures of financial assets, using empirical methods, this paper
does a deep study of the links between the regional financial assets structure and
economic growth. Coming to the following conclusions: (1) Not much does the
indicators of the external structure of financial assets FIR affects the economic growth
of Jiangsu; (2) The internal financial assets structure and economic growth are
uncoordinated; (3) Although Jiangsu is one of the economically developed regions in
China's,it has not yet completed the process of economy monetized; (4) insurance assets
affects economic growth with great efficiency; (5) the role of the stock on economic
growth has not been fully realized. Finally, this paper put forward some suggestions
on how to optimize the financial asset structure of Jiangsu .
