This thesis aims at understanding the impact of Islamic banking development on economic growth and international trade in countries with a dual banking system. For this purpose we use a sample of twenty countries mainly from the Middle East, North Africa, and Southeast Asia during the time period from 1999 through 2014. We employ commonly used panel data estimators such as Pooled OLS and Fixed Effects, as well as the generalized method of moments (GMM) to address a possible endogeneity of the banking development indicators. Our findings show that on the one hand Islamic banking development in countries with a dual banking system hinders economic growth while on the other hand it boosts international trade. The study further discusses why Islamic banking might actually obstruct growth.

O processo de diversificação da topologia bancária brasileira iniciado na década de 1990 com o Plano Real foi ancorado numa política de privatização e desnacionalização dos entes financeiros e chegou ao ápice no ano de 2003, mediante a Resolução n. 3.156, emitida pelo Banco Central do Brasil, propiciando o uso dos serviços de correspondentes no País a qualquer instituição financeira. Se por um lado, tal medida estava estreitamente ligada à política de bancarização levada a efeito pelo Governo Federal (que passaria a fazer uso da rede de correspondentes para distribuição de recursos a segmentos da população que historicamente viviam à margem do sistema bancário tradicional), por outro, serviu de alavanca a diversas instituições financeiras, especialmente os bancos de pequeno e médio portes que, desprovidos de uma rede de agências, encontraram no correspondente uma forma de ampliação de sua capilaridade. Nesse sentido, a prestação do serviço bancário com distintos níveis de capital, tecnologia, organização e trabalho expressa novas relações de complementaridade entre os circuitos (superior, superior marginal e inferior) da economia urbana, ao mesmo tempo em que altera o papel exercido pelo banco, anteriormente único responsável pelas atividades do circuito superior. Nessa perspectiva, buscou-se, no presente trabalho, entender as relações entre o sistema bancário e os circuitos da economia urbana no processo de autonomização da esfera financeira no território brasileiro, tomando como exemplo o estado de Alagoas. Para tanto, fez-se necessário uma avaliação das topologias que expressam a rede bancária no território alagoano, considerando-se a base material, os produtos financeiros e a prestação dos serviços. A partir de pesquisa de campo nos municípios de Girau do Ponciano, Campo Grande e Traipu foi possível identificar que a concessão de crédito consignado se realiza através de novos nexos entre o circuito superior (o banco), o superior marginal (as promotoras de crédito e os correspondentes, que são empresas terceirizadas) e o inferior (o agente de crédito, que representa a garantia dos lucros de uma parte considerável de bancos que vendem seus produtos sem possuir uma única agência no estado). Dessa forma, desvelou-se o acirramento da divisão do trabalho bancário e o processo de espoliação, centrado no aumento vertiginoso do consumo de dinheiro concomitante ao crescente endividamento. Esse processo denota a perpetuação do circuito inferior, tanto no que concerne ao consumo quanto à própria prestação do serviço, ou seja, a realização do trabalho. / The process of diversification of the Brazilian banking topology started in the 1990s with the Real Plan, was anchored in a privatization and denationalization policy of the financial entities which came to a head in 2003, by Resolution no. 3156, issued by the Central Bank of Brazil, allowing the use of corresponding services in the country by any financial institution. On one hand, such a measure was closely linked to the banking policy carried out by the Federal Government (which would make use of the matching network for the distribution of resources to segments of the population that historically lived on the margins of the traditional banking system) in the other, served as a lever to various financial institutions, especially small and medium banks devoid of a network of agencies, met in the corresponding a way to expand its capillarity. In this sense, the provision of banking services with different levels of capital, technology, work and organization express new relations of complementarity between the circuits (upper, upper marginal and lower) of the urban economy, while amending the role played by the bank that was previously solely responsible for the activities of the upper circuit. In this perspective, we sought in the present work, to understand the relationship between the banking system and the circuits of the urban economy in the process of empowerment of the financial sphere in Brazil, taking as an example the state of Alagoas. To do so, it was necessary an evaluation of topologies expressing banking network in Alagoas\' territory, considering the base material, financial products and provision of services. From field research in the counties of Girau Ponciano, Campo Grande and Traipu was possible to identify that the granting of payroll loans is done through new connections between the upper circuit (the bank), the upper marginal (promoters and credit correspondents, who are subcontractors) and the bottom (lower) (the loan officer, who is the guarantee of the profits of a considerable part of banks that sell their products without having a single agency in the state). Thus, was unveiled the intensification of the banking division of labor and dispossession process, centered on the rise of money consumption concomitant with increasing debt. This process denotes the perpetuation of the lower circuit, both as regards consumption as to provide the service itself, in other words, the work realization.

Cette thèse étudie le processus de transformation du système financier chinois dans un contexte de libéralisation financière. Son objectif est de questionner les possibilités d'établir un modèle de financement alternatif en faveur du développement économique des pays en développement. Cette recherche montre que l'expérience de la transition financière en Chine peut être considérée comme un cas de figure pertinent, traduisant la portée des approches de répression financière et les écueils des politiques de libéralisation financière. Elle s'attache à analyser le paradoxe de l'économie chinoise : une performance économique exceptionnelle s'accompagne de la fragilité de son système financier. L'objectif spécifique de ce travail est de discerner les spécificités de la transition financière chinoise afin de contribuer à une meilleure compréhension de la structure financière chinoise actuelle, de son efficacité pour le développement économique du pays et de l'impact de l'ouverture financière sur la stabilité de son système financier. / This thesis examines the transformation of China's financial system in the context of financial liberalization. Its aim is to question the possibility of establishing an alternative financing model for economic development in developing countries. This research shows that the experience of the financial transition in China can be seen as a relevant case, reflecting the range of approaches to financial repression and the pitfalls of financial liberalization policies. It seeks to analyze the paradox of the Chinese economy: an exceptional economic performance is accompanied by the fragility of the financial system. The specific objective of this work is to discern the specifics of the Chinese financial transition to contribute to a better understanding of China's current financial structure, its effectiveness in the economic development and the impact of financial openness for financial system stability.

Uma das preocupações fundamentais desta pesquisa foi acompanhar e entender o processo decisório em torno das políticas econômicas que, ao contrário do que muitas vezes se alegou, demonstrou ter uma importância central no Estado brasileiro, em meados do século XIX. A análise dos discursos políticos sobre a moeda e o sistema bancário foi utilizada como ferramentas que ajudassem a entender melhor os consensos temporários sobre as questões econômicas e as posições políticas da elite política imperial. O estudo revelou que as inversões de rumo adotadas pelos parlamentares brasileiros não estavam relacionadas apenas com transformações estruturais centradas nos partidos políticos, o que revelou um quadro mais complexo e dinâmico tanto no campo político, quanto no econômico, do que se costuma supor. Pelo acompanhamento dos debates depreende-se que os projetos saneadores da moeda adotados pela elite política foram sinceros, o que significa dizer que ao enfrentar os problemas econômicos os representantes da nação utilizaram seus conhecimentos para encontrar soluções viáveis aos obstáculos que se apresentavam, nem sempre sendo bem-sucedidos nos resultados obtidos. Portanto, ressaltei que se tratava também de uma história de anseios e frustrações, readequações e sucessos, mas, acima de tudo, das transformações de conceitos econômicos que foram refinados, de posições políticas alternadas e de projetos paulatinamente adaptados. / One of the main concerns of this research was to follow and understand the decision-making process surrounding the economic policies that, contrary to what is often claimed, demonstrated a central role in the Brazilian State in the mid-nineteenth century. The analysis of political speeches on the currency and the banking system has been used as tools to help better understand the temporary consensus on economic issues and the political elite of imperial policy. The study revealed that the reversals of direction taken by Brazilian legislators were not only related to structural transformations centered on political parties, which revealed a more complex and dynamic both in the political field and on the economic, than is commonly supposed. By tracking the discussions it appears that projects correctives currency adopted by the political elite were sincere, which means that the economic problems facing the nation\'s representatives used their expertise to find viable solutions to the obstacles that presented themselves, not always being successful the results. So I pointed out that it was also a story of longing and frustrations, and successes, adjustments, but, above all, the transformations of economic concepts that have been refined, political positions and alternate projects gradually adapted.

Society s response to these crises has been characterized by a group of regulatory measures on the basis of the law. However, the managing banking businesses, as in any other industry, is subject to agency and moral hazard problems, because, in spite of there having norms to run organizations, the relations within it are made of people, and their behavior is always exposed to conflicts of moral and ethics nature. Bearing this chaos in mind, this assignment provides a historical review of ethical and moral concepts and applies them to the Brazilian banking system, intending to investigate evidences on ethical behaviors in the financial operations management. It was intended to introduce qualitative ethical concepts and to quantify them by means of statistical research, in search of potential ethical indicators within the Brazilian banking system / O processo de Globalização Financeira intensificou-se nos últimos trinta anos tendo como conseqüência direta um expressivo aumento das volatilidades nos ativos financeiros, com graves conseqüências para os sistemas bancários. A resposta da Sociedade a essas crises tem sido ex-post, caracterizando-se por um conjunto de medidas regulatórias, com embasamento jurídico. Entretanto, a gestão dos negócios bancários, como a de outro qualquer, está exposta aos problemas de agência e risco moral, pois existem normas para gerir as organizações, mas as relações se fazem por intermédio de pessoas, o que pode acarretar conflitos de natureza ética e moral. Tendo em vista esse caos, o presente trabalho procura rever historicamente os conceitos de ética e moral e aplicá-los, limitando-o ao sistema bancário brasileiro com a finalidade de procurar evidências de comportamentos éticos, na gestão das operações financeiras. Procurou-se, introduzir conceitos qualitativos de ética e, por meio de estudos estatísticos quantificá-los, obtendo-se uma proposta de possíveis Indicadores de ética do sistema bancário brasileiro

Its objective overall is to identify the employees and clients perceptions regarding the individual competencies developed, acquired and applied by the bank workers during their daily routine. A revision survey of the literature for the concept of competence is presented as well as a historical report about the banking institutions and the evolution of the activities of their employees. Two banking agencies in the city of Resende RJ have been analyzed, one public and the other one private, aiming at the comparison of the perceptions among the bank workers and with that of their clients afterwards. As a means to data collection a questionnaire to be responded by the bank workers and the clients was applied. The results showed to be positive for the bank workers perception of their individual competencies. However, the clients perception for the public bank was showed to be otherwise but the clients perception for the private was showed the same. / A fundamenta??o te?rica desta pesquisa concentra-se nas proposi??es da gest?o baseada em compet?ncias.

Cette thèse étudie le secteur bancaire du Luxembourg sous trois angles différents. Elle apporte de nouveaux éléments de débat sur un secteur bancaire souvent commenté mais rarement étudié. En outre, dans chacun des trois chapitres, les impacts de la crise financière sont étudiés. Chapitre 1: Création de liquidité par les banques du Luxembourg. Ce chapitre évalue la quantité liquidité créée par les banques. Nous constatons que cette création a plus que doublé entre 1999 et 2011. Cependant, la liquidité créée a commencé à diminuer en 2009 et en 2011, elle n’était toujours pas revenu au niveau d'avant la crise. Chapitre 2: Le canal du crédit bancaire au Luxembourg. Nous trouvons un canal du crédit opérationnel qui fonctionne essentiellement via la capitalisation des banques sur base agrégée. Nous démontrons également que les banques ont préservé la disponibilité du crédit lors de la crise financière. Chapitre 3: Rentabilité bancaire au Luxembourg dans un environnement de taux bas. Nous constatons qu’à long terme, le niveau et la pente de la courbe des taux contribuent positivement à la rentabilité bancaire, par conséquent, que les taux d'intérêt actuellement bas ont un effet négatif sur la profitabilité des banques. / This dissertation studies the banking sector of Luxembourg under three different angles. It therefore contributes to provide new evidence on an often commented but rarely investigated banking industry. Furthermore, in each of the three chapters, the impacts of the financial crisis are studied. Chapter 1: Bank liquidity creation in Luxembourg. This chapter assesses how much liquidity banks in Luxembourg have created. We find that liquidity creation has more than doubled between 1999 and 2011. However, the level of liquidity created started to decrease in 2009 and in 2011, was still not back to pre-crisis level. Chapter 2: The bank lending channel in Luxembourg. We find an operative bank lending channel in Luxembourg, which works through capitalization on an aggregated basis. Regarding the financial crisis, we underlined that banks preserved the availability of credit.Chapter 3: Bank profitability in Luxembourg in a low interest rate environment. We find that, in the long-run, the level and the slope of the yield curve contribute positively to bank profitability and hence that the current low interest rates have a negative effect on banks’ profits.

The present study aims to verify how outsourced (contracted) sale teams are managed by commercial banks which operate in credit on consignation competitive business in Ceara State, in order to assure a continuous, qualified and increasing business tide. First, were done teorethical approaches as âthirdâ and âfourthâ outsourcing, strategic administration, human capital management, financial market and credit on consignation negotiation. After bibliographical review, an exploratory and descriptive field research was done with commercial banks placed in Ceara which operate with lending on consignation product. Were administered four semi-structured quetionnaires to banks managers, banks correspondents, internal collaborators and collectors. After, collected iformations were tabulated and received qualitative and quantitative treatment, detecting that the outsourcing of selling activities by banks are motivated by margin, funding, decentralization of sale points and by operational simplicity, as well as was identified as a disadvantage of this outsourcing process the low managing and technical capacity of its correspondent (contracted).This operational simplicity setting, as well as low managing and technical capacity, roughly contribute towards the fragility of staff employee in third and fourth outsourcing sales team management techniques by contracted companies. We believe that the lack of human resources management practices within outsourcing work endangers strategic results of action of both companies involved on this process. / O presente trabalho objetiva verificar como as equipes de vendas terceirizadas (contratadas) sÃo geridas por bancos comerciais que operam no competitivo mercado de crÃdito consignado no Estado do Cearà para garantir um fluxo contÃnuo, qualificado e crescente de negÃcios. Primeiramente, foram feitas abordagens teÃricas tais como: terceirizaÃÃo; quarteirizaÃÃo; administraÃÃo estratÃgica; gestÃo do capital humano; mercado financeiro e o negÃcio crÃdito em consignaÃÃo. ApÃs a revisÃo bibliogrÃfica, realizou-se uma pesquisa exploratÃria, descritiva e de campo junto a bancos comerciais instalados no Cearà e operando com o produto emprÃstimo consignado, para a aplicaÃÃo de quatro questionÃrios semi-estruturados junto aos gestores dos bancos, correspondentes bancÃrios, colaboradores internos e angariadores. Em seguida, as informaÃÃes coletadas foram tabuladas e tratadas quantitativa e qualitativamente, constatando que a terceirizaÃÃo das atividades fins de vendas pelos bancos sÃo motivadas pela margem, funding, descentralizaÃÃo de pontos de vendas e pela simplicidade operacional, como tambÃm. Identificou-se como desvantagem desse processo de terceirizaÃÃo a baixa capacitaÃÃo gerencial e tÃcnica do correspondente (contratado). Esse cenÃrio de simplicidade operacional e baixa capacitaÃÃo gerencial e tÃcnica da gestÃo contribuem fortemente para a fragilidade das tÃcnicas da gestÃo de pessoal empregadas nas equipes de vendas terceirizadas e âquarteirizadasâ, pelas empresas contratadas. Acredita-se que a ausÃncia das prÃticas da gestÃo de recursos humanos no trabalho terceirizado compromete resultados estratÃgicos de atuaÃÃo das duas empresas envolvidas nesse processo.
