Abstract
This paper explores the relationship between income inequality, the non-bank financial sector and financial stability. By using panel data for a set of countries the study examines whether higher income inequality is associated with a larger non-bank financial sector, and whether the size of the non-bank sector is linked to reduced stability in the traditional banking sector. Additionally a time series regression is used to examine the global relationship between the size of the non-bank sector and financial market volatility. The results suggest a positive relationship between income inequality and the size of the non-bank sector and provide some evidence that non-bank finance may have a destabilizing effect on the financial system,...

Overall the results indicate that this is an area that warrants further research. (Less)
