Main Message
Financial System and Regional Development
It is not a discussion about regional development funds;
Neither a discussion about public banks;
Is a discussion about private financial system and its role on regional
development;
Theories of Regional Development
First Generation Regional Policy
Neoclassical Approach: money are considered as neutral
The Keynesian Approach
Explicitly incorporated the concept of autonomous
investment and effective demand;
The role of money and financial system and understood
based on the theory of loanable funds and/or based on the
horizontalista approach money supply;
Theories of Regional Development
The second and third generations: the focus on competitiveness
A lower role for the state, allowed only to correct market failures;
Emphasis on human capital as a determinant of growth;
Emphasis on competitiveness - measured by international position - as the key to development, implying a focus on innovation, economies of knowledge and mechanisms to facilitate this process: networking, cooperation, contacts face to face, learning regions; Regional Innovation Systems, among others;
Local endogenous development: industrial districts, clusters, delegation of powers to regions
No systematic analysis of the role of monetary and financial system;
Only general indications as part of the national (regional or local) innovation
Monetary Theory for Regional
Development
From the economics side a Seminal contribution of Dow (1996, 1999)
and Chick and Dow (1988):
Capitalists (including banks) don’t only choose between applying in
different assets (financial or industrial circuits) due to uncertainties of the
environment (liquidity preference), but also they choose, by
comparison, in which region they will apply its resources
Liquidity Preference Differentiated across the Space
Determines the willingness to lend (financial system) and / or go into
debt (individuals)
Monetary Theory for Regional
Development
The concept of liquidity preference can be used to increase the understanding of many aspects of the geography of finance, like:
Financial exclusion
The theory of liquidity preference (TLP) of banks can be used to understand both why banks choose to open a branch in a specific region instead of other, and what kind of service should be offered in a specific region;
Financialization
The TLP can help to understand de degree of financialization of a specific region;
Centrality
Resilience
Role of the resilience of regional financial system to the understanding of the resilience of regions;
Total Assets / GDP

Empirical studies
Scarcity of financial data in regional scale;
Due to the short relevance of money to understand the economic
performance of a specific region according to the mainstream theory
(neoclassical);
Brazil is a special case (just a little)
Data of aggregated balance sheet of bank branches by city, monthly since
1988;
Data on employment and type of financial institution by city since 1990;
Make possible to analyse the behaviour of banks and financial system and
their contribution to the understanding of regional disparities ;
