The index used for financial development of the first group is the domestic credit provided to the private sector as a ratio of GDP and the index of financial development used for the second group is the Stock market capitalization to GDP. Also, six Good Governance Indicators have been used as a measure of institutional quality. The result shows that the Good Governance indicators have a positive effect on credit except for the voice and accountability. In addition, Control of Corruption, Government Effectiveness, Regulatory Quality and Rule of Law have a positive effect on the stock market capitalization. Therefore, enhancing institution quality would encourage the development of financial markets in the country studies, and policymakers must adopt appropriate policies to improve the quality of institutions UR - https://ecoj.tabrizu.ac.ir/article_12483.html L1 - https://ecoj.tabrizu.ac.ir/article_12483_4066a760bad594bbd65151612168512f.pdf ER -
