摘要：There are many empirical studies which focus on relationship between financial development and economic growth, however, when we analyse these studies, we see that these studies are mostly about the relationship between stock market and economic growth or banking sector and economic growth. On the contrary, there are not many studies about the relationship between insurance sector and economic growth. For this reason, the aim of this paper is the testing the role of insurance in changing economic growth using data of twenty-nine countries from 1999 to 2008 (Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Irland, Italia, Japan, Turkey, South Korea, Luxemburg, Mexico, Holland, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, England and USA). After the analysis was completed, we found positive relationship between insurance and economic growth.
