Abstract

In many countries, investing in manpower and  in improving its quality has played a major role in promoting productivity and accelerating economic growth. On the other hand, the impact of the development of financial markets on improving productivity and economic development of countries is significant. Accordingly, in the present study, a theoretical framework is presented to investigate the impact of the development of financial markets on labor productivity using the panel vector auto-regressive method for the period 1998-1997 in the MENA region. In addition to examining the development of financial markets, other influential factors such as government spending, health spending and per capita capital (macro variable) are considered as the most important factors affecting the productivity of the manufacturing sector's labor force. According to the findings of this study, the development of financial markets has increased the productivity of the labor in the manufacturing sector. Taking into account the surplus of labor supply in these countries and improving financial services, reallocating resources to high-productivity sectors and encouraging capital inflows can bring productivity to higher levels. Per capita capital  and healthcare spending have had a negative impact on labor productivity in the industrial sector, which can be due to the time gap between investing in an individual until entering the labor market, high per capita health care cost  due to lack of timely prevention. And the environmental pollution that is causing the spread of all kinds of diseases and increasing the cost of health care .
