【 摘 要 】

This study aims to shed light on the effects of financial development and accumulation of capital on the productivity of labor in the sub-Sahara African region within the period of 1990–2018. In this work, we used the (dynamic) common correlated effects estimator-mean group and additional techniques such as cross-section autoregressive distributed lag to calibrate the sample into the African subregion to ensure robustness. The findings reveal that financial progress in the region over time leads to an increase in productivity of labor and also the accumulation of capital. Furthermore, financial markets have a progressive impact on the productivity of labor within sub-Saharan African regions. We extend the very limited literature on the nexus between financial development and labor productivity by incorporating capital accumulation into our model which has not been previously studied.
