Abstract
Building on Harrigan and McGregor's (Journal of Regional Science, 1987,27,357-367) model of regional financial markets and Moore, Karaska and Hill's (Journal of Regional Science, 1985, 19, 29-35) Keynesian-type model of regional income, this analysis presents a modelofthe relationship between regional financial markets and regional income. Two version of the model are examined, one based on interest-rate induced regional expenditures and the other on credit expenditures. An empirical test suggests the credit-induced version of the model better reflects regional growth.
