the economy through three major sectors: agriculture, industry, and service In which the development of the banking sector has a detrimental impact on the agriculture and industrial sectors while having a positive impact on the development of the service sector Furthermore, the author discovers that the development of the banking sector has a negative impact on the growth of the agriculture sector, whereas industry and services are unaffected The effects of economic development and growth on banking sector development Table 5.2: The effects of economic development and growth on banking sector development Sector Banking Agricultural Industrial Service Development Negative Growth No effect Development Positive Growth Negative Development Positive Growth Negative According to the research results, the development of the agricultural sector has a negative influence on the development of the banking sector, while the development of the industrial and service sectors has a positive effect In addition, the growth of the agricultural sector has no effect on the development of the banking sector, and the growth of the industrial and service sectors has a negative effect 58 In summary, the author finds that the influence of banking sector development and sectoral economic growth is generally two-way Southeast Asian countries should focus their resources on developing the banking, industrial and service sectors In particular, the development of the industrial sector is the most important because industry creates a large amount of material wealth for society Industry is the key to promoting the development of other economic sectors such as trade - services, agriculture, because industry provides most of the means of production, builds material and technical foundations for all economic sectors In addition, the development of the industrial sector also creates favorable conditions for the effective exploitation of natural resources in different territories, creating the possibility of expanding production, labor market, creating many jobs, increase income, strengthen national security 5.2 Limitation of the thesis and future research direction Limitation of the thesis Besides the obtained results, the research topic still has certain limitations Research time is limited; the thesis only focuses on the years 2008 to 2020, a rather limited period compared to previous studies on the same topic The data has not been updated in recent years (in 2021), making it difficult to follow the reality of the study Because of the serious lack of data for Southeast Asian countries, the author only collects data from six countries that represent the region Therefore, the data does not include all 11 Southeast Asian countries In addition, because the number of research countries (n = 6) is smaller than the number of years of research (t = 13), the author cannot solve the endogenous problem through the GMM method (which requires n >= t) However, this is not a big problem because this is one of the popular research topics in the past decade, and the variables in the model have a solid theoretical and practical basis 59 Future research direction First, by increasing the number of years of observation, extending the sampling interval will improve the accuracy of future study results At the same time, expanding the scope of research from Southeast Asia to Asia, the impact of banking sector development on the economy in underdeveloped, developing, and developed countries may be different This needs to be studied in more depth Second, in addition to the variables BANK1, BANK2 and BANK3, which are two measures for the development of the banking sector, the study may include other variables that can represent the development of the banking sector in a genuine way, more precisely The same is true for the growth and development variables of the agricultural, industrial, and service sectors Finding variables that represent these factors more accurately can create a more comprehensive model 60 CONCLUSION CHAPTER In Chapter 5, the author summarizes the main results of the thesis as well as makes recommendations for Southeast Asian countries to focus more on developing the banking and industrial sectors, followed by the development of the service sector At the same time, the thesis also points out the problems and limitations that still exist in the research process and the development direction for future research 61 REFERENCES Allen, D (2000) Financial intermediation and economic growth
