“…These ndings are consistent with the results of Zhou et al (2019), Bastida et al, (2019), andHaini (2021) but contradict the results of Arushanyan et al, (2014), Amri et al (2019), andAvom et al (2020). This discrepancy in ndings can be attributed to the difference between the studied countries or the studied periods.…”

“…The results of this study show that considering its inherent carbon impacts, the ICT sector is very environmentally friendly, as it can signi cantly reduce CO 2 emissions. Haini (2021) examined the impact of ICT and human capital on CO 2 emissions in ASEAN economies. The results of this study suggested that ICT reduces CO 2 emissions through innovative technologies.…”

The impact of information and communications technologies (ICT) on the environment is a complex highly-debated subject. Indeed, ICT can have both positive and negative impacts on the environment. While ICT tools and devices can be used to improve energy efficiency, which results in reduced CO2 emissions and environmental degradation, the manufacturing and use of ICT devices can become a major source of emission. Also, many ICT devices contain non-renewable and non-recyclable components that can cause significant environmental damage. Therefore, one may question that whether ICT improves environmental quality in countries with different income levels? To answer this question, this study investigated the environmental impacts of ICT in three groups of high, middle, and low-income countries from 2005 to 2019 using the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM). The ICT Development Index (IDI) was used as the measure of ICT development. Empirical results showed that the use of ICT led to reduced total CO2 emissions, CO2 emissions from solid fuel consumption, CO2 emissions damage, particulate emissions damage, and energy consumption in the studied countries. Therefore, ICT was found to have a generally negative (favorable) impact on environmental degradation in these countries. Considering this effect of ICT on environmental degradation and pollution, governments are recommended to pursue their energy consumption and emission objectives by promoting the use of ICT in the environmental sector and the implementation of green ICT projects.

“…For instance, Yao et al ( 2020) find that large industrial firms with higher capital are expected to abide by external environmental legislation to adopt stringent policies aimed at pollution control. Haini (2021) used ASEAN data from 1996 to 2019 to assess the extent that ICT technologies and human capital help reduce emissions through increased absorptive capacity of the economy.…”

“…Better technology will have an impact on better human productivity so that the economy can grow better. A growing economy that is getting better has an impact on human development and better human capital and in the end, has an impact on the development of better technology (Ghosh & Parab, 2021;Haini, 2021) .…”

The purpose of this study is to compare the impact of the direction of the relationship between education and health investment with economic growth in Indonesia, with the impact and direction of the relationship of foreign direct investment and portfolio investment with economic growth in Indonesia. This study uses a quantitative method using the Threshold Autoregressive model. This study uses secondary data from the world bank in the annual time period from 2000 to 2019. We found that Investment in education and health has an impact on increasing productivity which drives economic growth because labor productivity directly drives the real sector. However, FDI and FPI changed the financial position in terms of capital. Direct investment increases real capital which has an impact on the creation of new sources of economic production but has consequences in the form of income transfers abroad, resulting in cash outflows. The existence of these foreign transfers continuously when economic conditions are stable and the real sector grows and generates profits that can be greater than the cash inflows obtained when foreign direct investments are made.
