“…Starting from the first study on the impact of telecommunication on growth (Hardy, 1980), several studies have analysed the growth impact of ICT (e.g. Stiroh, 2002;Van Ark and Inklaar, 2005;Atrostic and Nguyen, 2005;Morawczynski and Ngwenyama, 2007;Sridhar and Sridhar, 2007;Jalava and Pohjola, 2008;Kamel et al, 2009;Nasab and Aghaei, 2009;Vu, 2011;Kumar and Kumar, 2012;Kumar et al, 2015;Erumban and Das, 2016;Castelnovo et al, 2018;Pieri et al, 2018;Gupta and Kumar, 2018;Oyerinde and Bankole, 2019;Sinha et al, 2020;Appiah-Otoo and Song, 2021).…”

PurposeThe aim of this study is to examine the impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) inflow and information and communication technology (ICT) on the economic performance of India by analysing annual data from 1991 to 2019.Design/methodology/approachThis study has used data collected from secondary sources. The variables considered for the analysis are based on the review of theoretical and empirical literature. Moreover, apart from the quantitative variables, two qualitative variables have also been considered through the use of dummy variables. The Cobb–Douglas, Transcendental logarithmic and Simultaneous equations models have been used for the study.FindingsThe result reveals that the partial elasticities of the per-capita gross domestic product (PCGDP) of India with respect to FDI, mobile density (MD) and internet density (ID) are 0.074, 0.024 and 0.036, respectively. The positive and significant coefficient of the interaction among FDI, MD and ID in the estimation of the transcendental logarithmic function indicates the importance of ICT infrastructure in extracting the best out of FDI (the coefficient is 0.011 for the model without any control variables and it is 0.005 with control variables).Originality/valueThe findings of this study are more reliable as the latest available data have been analysed through the appropriate econometric models. This study will be useful for the policymakers in the formulation of policies with regard to foreign capital and digitalisation.

This paper examines the impact of information and communication technologies (ICT) on human development in developing and developed countries, measured by the human development index (HDI). The analysis relies on new and contemporary measures of ICT, namely mobile broadband and internet bandwidth, which have only recently become available for many countries. Using data from 180 sample countries over the period 2010–2017, the system GMM estimates suggest that the impact of ICT on human development depends on the country’s development stage and the respective telecommunication service. Mobile broadband drives human development in developing countries, while developed countries gain from increasing internet bandwidth. Further analysis reveals that the positive effects in developing countries are due to improvements in health and education. In contrast, in developed countries, this progress is attributable to positive effects on income.

A lot of research has been done using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to measure efficiency in Education. DEA has also been used in the field of Information and Communication Technology for Development (ICT4D) to investigate and measure the efficiency of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) investments on Human Development. Education is one of the major components of the Human Development Index (HDI) which affects the core of Human Development. This research investigates the relative efficiency of ICT Infrastructure Utilization on the educational component of the HDI in order to determine the viability of Learning Analytics using DEA for policy direction and decision making. A conceptual model taking the form of a Linear Equation was used and the Constant Returns to Scale (CRS) and Variable Returns to Scale (VRS) models of the Data Envelopment Analysis were employed to measure the relative efficiency of the components of ICT Infrastructure (Inputs) and the components of Education (Outputs). Results show a generally high relative efficiency of ICT Infrastructure utilization on Educational Attainment and Adult Literacy rates, a strong correlation between this Infrastructure and Literacy rates as well, provide an empirical support for the argument of increasing ICT infrastructure to provide an increase in Human Development, especially within the educational context. The research concludes that DEA as a methodology can be used for macroeconomic decision making and policy direction within developmental research.
