Whether or not the financial development influence economic growth is a key policy problem, which is also a hot topic in academic community and has been discussed for almost one century. Whether or not the financial system is perfect and supplies effective service largely depends on the financial policy of government. Therefore constituting reasonable financial policy has become more and more important. For nearly three decades, China's economy sustained, rapid growth to a certain extent, proved the success of China's economic transition. Success of economic system in transition benefits from the relative stability of the financial system, which is a consensus view of Academia and the World Bank. Domestic research on the relationship between financial development and economic growth began in the late nineties of last century, with the deepening of research, obtained some valuable conclusions.

In the analysis draws on the "general to simple" modeling method, at the same time, macroeconomic policies will be introduced as a dummy variable model. The results show that the development of finance and economy increase in China has not any forward controlling causality but from economy increase to finance development. Second, Since joining the WTO, along with the deepening of reform and opening up the domestic financial system in terms of both quantity and quality has been greatly improved. Based on this, we analysed whether existing threshold effect or not on financial. We draw the threshold effect model of Hassen and separately to financial intermediaries and capital markets as a financial development variable analysed them. Empirical results show that only the stock market as a financial development variable, China's financial development and economic growth exist threshold effect.Finally, according to the above empirical conclusions, put forward some policy proposals to promote the coordinated development of the finance and economy...
