To what extent financial development is important in promoting economic growth in OECD countries
This paper revisits the relationship between economic growth and the main determinants of financial development in The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries during the period 1990-2016. Using a random effects model, we provide empirical evidence of different aspects of financial development in order to show which of these characteristics of financial development help to explain economic growth in OEDC countries in terms of finances through a panel data model for the period examined. We pay special attention to the main determinants of the financial system and verify their influence on economic growth even when we control for other key country-level factors relating to economic growth. Results show that an increase in domestic credit provided by financial-sector, in market capitalization and in the turnover ratio of domestic shares entails a significant positive effect on the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita. Among other socioeconomic determinants related to economic growth, expenditure in education, the inflation and unemployment rates appear highly significant in the economic growth of the analysed countries.Universidad de Málaga.

Financial development and economic growth: a study for OECD countries in the context of crisis
The aim of this paper is to study the relationship between economic growth and the main determinants of financial development in developed countries during the period 1990-2016. Using a random effects model, we provide empirical evidence of different aspects of financial development in order to show which of these characteristics of financial development help to explain economic growth in developed countries, particularly in OEDC countries in terms of finances through a panel data model and a dynamic model for the period examined. Paying special attention to the main determinants of the financial system and verify their influence on economic growth even when we control for other key country-level factors relating to economic growth. We conclude that an increase in domestic credit provided by financial-sector, in market capitalization and in the turnover ratio of domestic shares entails a significant positive effect on the GDP per capita. Among other socioeconomic determinants related to economic growth, expenditure in education, the inflation and unemployment rates seem highly significant in the economic growth of the analysed countries.Universidad de Málaga.

New Constraints on General Slepton Flavor Mixing
We explore the phenomenological implications on charged lepton flavor
violating (LFV) processes from slepton flavor mixing within the Minimal
Supersymmetric Standard Model. We work under the model-independent hypothesis
of general flavor mixing in the slepton sector, being parametrized by a
complete set of dimensionless delta^AB_ij (A,B = L,R; i,j = 1, 2, 3)
parameters. The present upper bounds on the most relevant LFV processes,
together with the requirement of compatibility in the choice of the MSSM
parameters with the recent LHC and (g-2) data, lead to updated constraints on
all slepton flavor mixing parameters. A comparative discussion of the most
effective LFV processes to constrain the various generation mixings is
included.Comment: 42 pages, 19 figures. Minor changes, version to appear in PR
Updated Constraints on General Squark Flavor Mixing
We explore the phenomenological implications on non-minimal flavor violating
(NMFV) processes from squark flavor mixing within the Minimal Supersymmetric
Standard Model. We work under the model-independent hypothesis of general
flavor mixing in the squark sector, being parametrized by a complete set of
dimensionless delta^AB_ij (A,B = L, R; i,j = u, c, t or d, s, b) parameters.
The present upper bounds on the most relevant NMFV processes, together with the
requirement of compatibility in the choice of the MSSM parameters with the
recent LHC and g-2 data, lead to updated constraints on all squark flavor
mixing parameters.Comment: 30 pages, 7 figures. arXiv admin note: text overlap with

Economic Fluctuations, Child Mortality and Policy Considerations in the Least Developed Countries
Between 1990 and 2010 child mortality decreased in general terms in the Least Developed Countries (LDCs), although the differences between countries over time are significant. This paper examines the relationship between short-term economic fluctuations and changes in child mortality in the LDCs during the period 1990-2010. Unlike other studies, we consider a large group of LDCs and provide empirical evidence of the asymmetrical effects of variations in Gross Domestic Product per capita on the evolution of child mortality rate in periods of economic recession and expansion. The significance of said effects diminishes when other relevant socio-economic control variables are considered, and some development policy considerations are addressed in order to achieve the Millennium Development Goal 4 target
