| Abstrakt: | This paper is an attempt to find out the determinants of the financial deepening in a panel of 15 Former Soviet Union countries and Mongolia. The explanatory variables are good institutions, human capital and remittances. The main results of the model are: (1) Remittances do influence positively financial deepening in this set of data when using random effects models; (2) Human Capital has a negative impact when using fixed effects; (3) Institutions do not have any impact; (3) Russia does not behave differently than other countries in this model; (4) Natural endowments of hydrocarbon do not influence the relationships between financial deepening and the three explanatory variables. |
