Asymmetric relationships between information and communication technology (ICT), globalization, and human development in India: evidence from non-linear ARDL analysis

Abstract

The objective of the paper is to examine the asymmetric relationships between ICT, globalization, and human development in India by analysing the annual data from 1991 to 2019 through the non-linear autoregressive distributed lag (NARDL) model. The result shows that positive (negative) change in globalization leads to a decline (increase) in human development in the long run. Further, a positive change in mobile density increases human development in the long run. A decline in internet density has a negative impact on human development in the long run. In the short run, a positive shock in globalization with one lag has a positive impact on human development. Moreover, a previous year positive shock in internet density has a positive effect on human development while the previous 2 years positive shock in internet density has a negative effect on human development in the short run. A negative shock in internet density with lag one has a negative effect on human development while with lag two it has a positive effect on human development. It is also found that the global financial crisis of 2008 has a negative impact on human development. Thus, it is suggested that India has to promote both globalization and ICT judiciously and consciously in order to improve human development.

“…En este sentido, muchos pueblos indígenas han demostrado resiliencia basada en sus conocimientos tradicionales, los cuales no han sido incorporados en las políticas gubernamentales enmarcadas dentro del paradigma de la globalización capitalista (Gómez, 2022). Desde el punto de vista ético, la globalización es un proceso neutral, pero sus efectos pueden ser tanto positivos como negativos, dependiendo del contexto ético-cultural y político-jurídico en el que se desarrolle (Behera & Sahoo, 2022).…”

The mediating role of governance in creating a nexus between investment in artificial intelligence (AII) and human well-being in the BRICS countries

“…Its findings substantiate the positive influence of ICT on inclusive development. Using the non-linear ARDL technique for the case of India, Behera and Sahoo (2022) examined the ICT-globalization-human development nexus over the period of 1991-2019. The results revealed that the long-term human development benefited from increasing mobile phone density but suffered from declining internet density.…”

“…Sen (2010) highlights that technological progress is pivotal in enhancing human freedoms and capabilities by increasing the productivity of people's work. To explore the impact of AI investment (AII) on human well-being, considering different governance dimensions in panel of BRICS nations from 2012 to 2022, we adapted empirical models from prior studies (see Pradhan, 2011;Asongu & Nwachukwu 2016;Njoh, 2018;Davis, 2017;Tran et al, 2021;Can et al, 2022;Behera & Sahoo, 2022;Uddin et al, 2023, among others) with appropriate adjustments. Therefore, the nexus between AII, OGV, and the Human Development Index (HDI) is represented in the following functional form.…”

“…When AI technologies or ICT technologies are introduced in environments with low corruption, they are more likely to be deployed and managed efficiently and lead to better public services and improved resource allocation, all of which contribute to higher well-being. AI can enhance the quality and accessibility of public services, such as healthcare, education, and transportation (Asongu & Le Roux, 2017;Smith & Neupane, 2018;Neogi, 2020;Behera & Sahoo, 2022). The BRICS countries, however, are believed to have rather high levels of corruption and so the benefits from AI are less likely to reach the intended beneficiaries.…”

“…Dalam masa globalisasi kini, adanya kemajuan serta perkembangan teknologi tentunya tidak dapat dihindari (Haseeb et al, 2019;Herminingrum, 2020). Perkembangan ini tentunya dipercepat melalui kemunculan pandemi COVID-19 pada awal 2020 lalu (Ahmed et al, n.d.;Behera & Sahoo, 2022). Seluruh masyarakat dipaksa untuk beradaptasi agar tetap dapat melakukan kegiatan meskipun mengalami berbagai hambatan.…”
