    <description descriptionType="Abstract">&lt;p&gt;This doctoral dissertation consists of three inter-related studies which constitute&lt;br&gt;
its main text, with introductory and summary chapters. The three main studies&lt;br&gt;
share a common feature in that they investigate the link between access to bank&lt;br&gt;
loans, income distribution and productivity growth. The second chapter is a&lt;br&gt;
theoretical framework that uses agent-based computational economics (ACE) to&lt;br&gt;
detect the link between access to bank loans and functional income distribution.&lt;br&gt;
The third chapter uses Ethiopian firm-level and national income data to validate&lt;br&gt;
the second chapter. The fourth chapter investigates the effect of functional&lt;br&gt;
income distribution on productivity growth from an evolutionary economic&lt;br&gt;
perspective.&lt;br&gt;
The second chapter (first study) focuses on Dosi et al.&amp;rsquo;s (2013) agent-based&lt;br&gt;
model which assumes that a well-functioning banking system exists and that&lt;br&gt;
industries are composed of both capital and non-capital goods&amp;rsquo; producing&lt;br&gt;
sectors. As such, monetary policy has a minimal role in impacting functional&lt;br&gt;
income distribution leading to an active use of macroeconomic policy. Chapter 2&lt;br&gt;
modifies this model to capture the realities of developing countries where the&lt;br&gt;
banking system&amp;rsquo;s supply of services is smaller than what is considered optimal.&lt;br&gt;
The system is heavily influenced by inside agents and industries are dominated&lt;br&gt;
by non-capital goods&amp;rsquo; producing firms.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
