“…Furthermore, the economy growth of the country is measured by the GDP or GNP of the country. The increase in GDP and GNP of the country refers to the high economy growth in the country (Ng et al, 2013). Thus, the economy growth is essential for the development of the country and the present study proceeds this variable as dependent variable of the study.…”

The foremost purpose of the study is to explore the impact of renewable energy consumption (REC) on the economic growth of ASEAN countries. Data were extracted from the World Bank and ASEAN Energy Information Administration (EIA). The "Generalized Method of Moments (GMM)" approach has been used by using the STATA software for the analysis. The results unprotected that the REC and non-renewable energy consumption (NREC), growth in labor force and capital stock has positive nexus with the economy growth of the ASEAN countries. These findings provide the guidelines to the regulators that they should make the policies for the REC and NREC that increase the economy growth of the world.

“…Some empirical studies [14,15,35,36] found that increasing ICT use is a strong driver of economic growth, and stressed the need for countries to focus on promoting the use of ICT, in particular in order to increase its effects on economic growth. Farhadi et al [35] focus on a panel of 159 countries over the period [2000][2001][2002][2003][2004][2005][2006][2007][2008][2009], and note that the impact of ICT use is stronger in higher income countries, while the impact is weak in countries with low levels of income.…”

Impact of Information and Communication Technology Infrastructure on Economic Growth: An Empirical Assessment for the EU Countries

The accelerated development of information and communication technology (ICT) over the past two decades has encouraged an increasing number of researchers to examine and measure the impact of this technology on economic growth. Our study aims to identify and evaluate the effect of using ICT infrastructure on economic growth in European Union (EU) countries for a period of 18 years (2000–2017). Using panel-data estimation techniques, we investigate empirically how various indicators of ICT infrastructure affect economic growth, proxied in our study by GDP per capita. Within the estimates, we have included some macroeconomic control variables. Our results indicate a positive and strongly effect of using ICT infrastructure on economic growth in the EU member states, but the magnitude of the effect differs depending on the type of technology examined. Regarding the impact of macroeconomic factors, our estimates indicate that inflation rate, unemployment rate, the degree of trade openness, government expenditures, and foreign direct investments would significantly affect GDP per capita at EU level. The findings are broadly similar to the theoretical predictions, but also to the findings of some relevant empirical studies. Our research reveals that ICT infrastructure, along with other macroeconomic factors, is an important driver of economic growth in EU countries.

“…Initially, we estimated the relationship between LnFAC with the explanatory variables based on the following static methods: (a) Pooled OLS (b) fixed effects and (c) random effects (RE). Then, we used GMM as proposed by Arellano and Bond (1991) as the former methods are not sufficient to deal with the issues of endogeneity and reverse causality (Ng et al, 2013). Besides, GMM can handle the issues of serial correlation and individual effects with regards smaller samples as against fixed effects (Baltagi, 2008).…”

“…Fixed effect (FE) estimator’s consistency depends on how large the time component is in the panel (T), and with larger T it becomes more consistent (Baltagi, 2008)⁠. In addition, OLS and fixed estimator are not sufficient to deal with the issue of endogeneity and reverse causality (Ng et al, 2013). To address these problems, we use the model proposed by Arellano and Bond (1991) where the equation is estimated in ‘first-differences’.…”

Globally, factoring services have shown steady growth in facilitating trade finance. The need for such kind of alternative financing became more important particularly after the financial crisis of 2008. Asia witnessed a very high growth in factoring, and it has emerged as the second largest market after Europe. However, factoring in India has not shown significant growth. This study investigates the causes for under-utilisation of factoring in India. Two-step generalised method of moments (GMM) was used to find out the significant variables influencing factoring services and then a comparative analysis of Asian economies was performed based on the significant variables. The results show that manufacturing and allied activities, credit information availability, legal rights for lenders and borrowers and sound enforcement mechanism are crucial in offering conducive environment for factoring. The comparative analysis reveals that China performs well on most of the parameters, whereas India needs to improve on all the parameters, especially the enforcement mechanism. In general, all the Asian countries require improvement in many parameters.
