Abstract: The paper explores the influences of financial development on economic growth and its volatility. First, it discusses the theoretical literature that attempts to explain these relationships. Then, it presents time series evidence for the cases of Mexico and the US. We use GARCH models, which make it possible to model volatility as a dynamic process and to interprete it as the inherent uncertainty in the process. The results suggest that, in the case of the US, financial development is positively associated with economic growth but that it does not show any relationship with volatility. In the Mexican case, we find that financial development may have had a positive effect on the rate of output growth by reducing its volatility.
