| Summary/Abstract |
Financial sector development (FSD) has been recognised as a supportive factor, acting as a shift variable in the growth function, besides the fundamental variables of capital stock and labour. Since the beginning of the new millennium, rapid strides in the spread of information and communication technology (ICT) have enabled the hitherto reluctant, urban-based banking institutions to reach the rural masses for mobilising savings. Digitisation through various innovations has made it possible that ‘brick and mortar less’ bank branches now increasingly provide financial services to rural India. This study examines the role of digitisation as a contingent factor in India’s FSD and growth nexus during the last 13 years (2003–2015). The findings of the empirical study through employment of ARDL methodology and application of bounds testing procedure by utilising 52 quarterly observations of the data series of relevant variables reveal that digitisation has indeed emerged a significant factor in the FSD and growth nexus, by playing a complementary role to FSD. There are two policy implications: (a) as ICT has emerged a major tool, it has to be supported at all levels, and (b) the financial inclusion process should be carried forward as it has all the potential to speed up economic growth and development.

| Summary/Abstract |
The government intervention directly achieves the strategic variation of industrial sector. Following this, the current study analyzes the impact of government concerns for green environment on investment decisions of industrial sector and how this effect changes across the countries that have developed financial sector. The sample size consists of financial statistics for the year 2007–2016 of non-financial sector firms from 11 selected economies of Asia. We employ panel EGLS (estimated generalized least square) and two-step system GMM (generalized method of moments) model due to problem of heteroskedasticity and endogeneity relatively. The statistical outputs of both models imply that carbon taxation has a negative impact while other green environmental strategies i.e., renewable energy utilization, production of electricity from renewable energy sources, and green growth productivity positively and significantly influence real investment decisions. Additionally, the statistical analysis illustrates the moderating impact of financial sector development on aforementioned relationship. The current analysis corroborates the thoughts of Porter's hypothesis and direct the important policy recommendations regarding environmental policies and their dynamical role in industrial sector investment decisions. Industrial sector should transform its energy needs from conventional energy production sources to renewable energy production due to positive impacts of renewable sources on investment.

| Summary/Abstract |
Financial sector development serves poor directly through poverty-lending approach or financial systems approach. Robinson (2001) questions the appropriateness of poverty-lending approach for the extremely poor and supports the financial systems approach for providing a poverty alleviation toolbox to serve the poor at various levels. The present study attempts to assess the effectiveness of the two lending approaches and comments on the appropriateness of the same for the poor and the poorest of the poor in rural India using state-wise annual data from 1999–2000 to 2011–2012. We conduct a panel data analysis for a sample of 15 major Indian states and provide an empirical evidence for the effect of various poverty alleviation tools on the poor and the poorest of the poor in rural India. The study partially supports the use of tools suggested by Robinson.
