An analysis on the relationship between ICT, financial development and economic growth: Evidence from Asian developing countries

TLDR
In this article , the authors examined the effect of ICT progress on economic growth by constructing an ICT diffusion index and investigated the role of financial development and the combined impact of modern ICT and financial development on growth in 10 Asian developing economies.
Abstract
This study examines the effect of ICT progress on economic growth by constructing an ICT diffusion index. Along with ICT, this study further investigates the role of financial development and the combined impact of ICT and financial development on growth in 10 Asian developing economies covering the period 2001–2017. To analyze the panel data, this study employed the ARDL model and estimated the Pooled Mean Group estimator. The estimated results reveal a significant positive long-run relationship between financial expansion and economic progress. While ICT hurts economic growth on its own, it has a significant positive impact when combined with financial development. The robustness of the results has been verified by Fully-Modified OLS (FMOLS) and Dynamic OLS (DOLS) estimations. To promote enduring economic growth in Asian developing countries, the paper recommends ensuring inclusive financial development combined with modern ICT.

Testing for unit roots in heterogeneous panels

TL;DR: In this article, a unit root test for dynamic heterogeneous panels based on the mean of individual unit root statistics is proposed, which converges in probability to a standard normal variate sequentially with T (the time series dimension) →∞, followed by N (the cross sectional dimension)→∞.

Endogenous Technological Change

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the stock of human capital determines the rate of growth, that too little human capital is devoted to research in equilibrium, that integration into world markets will increase growth rates, and that having a large population is not sufficient to generate growth.

Unit root tests in panel data: asymptotic and finite-sample properties

TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider pooling cross-section time series data for testing the unit root hypothesis, and they show that the power of the panel-based unit root test is dramatically higher, compared to performing a separate unit-root test for each individual time series.

Estimating long-run relationships from dynamic heterogeneous panels☆

TL;DR: In panel data four procedures are widely used: pooling, aggregating, averaging group estimates, and cross-section regression as discussed by the authors, and the theoretical results on the properties of these procedures are illustrated by UK labour demand functions for 38 industries over 30 years.

Pooled Mean Group Estimation of Dynamic Heterogeneous Panels

TL;DR: The pooled mean group estimator (PMG) estimator as discussed by the authors constrains long-run coefficients to be identical but allows short run coefficients and error variances to differ across groups.
