Abstract

Abstract - In the last four decades, the financial services sector has becoming more important for the Malaysian economy. Despite gaining importance for enhancing economic growth, the contribution of the finance sector to the total services real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has been ranked second in Peninsular Malaysia, third in Sabah and fourth in Sarawak. The purpose of the present paper is to determine whether the contribution of the financial services sector in the three regions in Malaysia, namely Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah and Sarawak show any distinct pattern. In the jargon of economic development literature, we seek to determine whether there is “convergence” or similarity in the patterns of the performance of the financial services sector among the three regions. Generally, our results suggest divergence of the finance sector and other sub-sector of the services among the three regions.

Prior to implementing the empirical research, the study identifies the factors, which according to theories, affects the level of income inequality. Income inequality is now an issue bordering not only the developing countries, but also the emerging and the developed ones as well. The results obtained from the estimated model enabled to draw some interesting conclusions. Firstly, quality of the rule of law determines income inequality, secondly, trade liberalisation conditions income, thirdly, level of financial development determines inequality of income and finally, education level in emerging countries decreases level of income inequality, while it increases the level of inequality in the developed countries of the continent.
