“…The negative value of ECT is normally bonded between −1 and 0. In agreement to Sovbetov (2018) and Sovbetov and Saka (2018), this suggests there is no serial error correction and instability problem usually caused by a structural break in the panel data.…”

“…It has multifaceted and decisive roles in various industries and employments. Hence, Raja et al (2013) acknowledged that digitisation affects occupation in two ways; as an industry and occupational tools (Sabbagh et al, 2013; Sovbetov, 2018). Likewise, Batuo (2015) and Adeleye and Eboagu (2019) opined that digitisation provides stimuli for economic growth.…”

“…It is evident that digital transformation has revolutionised international trade through rebutting an initial biasness towards e-commerce initiatives such as Alibaba, AliExpress, Amazon, eBay, Pinterest, Jumia, Wish, among others. Sovbetov (2018) accepts that it has changed the structure of economics by reducing transaction, distribution and marginal production costs and enhancing accessibility and time efficiency. Salim et al (2010) noted that searching for business and processing payments is easier with the use of the internet, hence, becoming vital to bilateral trade engagement.…”

Digital revolution is instrumental to the wave of globalisation and transformation of the global economy. But the pace of digital transformation and service trade is low in the West African region. This article investigates the effect of digital transformation on the development of service trade in the region. This research captured digitisation in two standpoints: internet penetration rate and mobile subscription rate. The Im-Pesaran-Shin unit-root test affirms that the model is appropriate for panel autoregressive distributed lag estimation method. Adopting pool mean group estimator, the results attest for the existence of cointegrations in the model. The estimations reveal that the effect of digitisation on service trade is a long-run phenomenon. While the result is robust with export, it is not consistent with import. The long-run positive impact of digitisation on service export ranges from 0.087% to 0.159%, depending on the proxy for digitisation. The overall short-run effect is not statistically significant in export and not robust in import. It is reportedly consistent in some countries but not robust with some others. The region needs to rally in adopting and adapting to the new face of technology to improve service trade. JEL Codes: C23, F14, O33

“…With regards to gender effects, Klonner and Nolen (2008) analyze the positive employment impact of mobile networks in South Africa and reveal that women mainly drive the gains in employment. Sovbetov (2018), based on a study in Turkey, finds that increases in e-commerce transactions are associated with significant female employment growth.…”

In recent decades, Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) has experienced rapid advances in digitalization, with unprecedented growth in internet penetration. This paper investigates the impact of internet penetration in SSA on real GDP growth, productivity, and sector output and employment. The analysis treats the arrival of submarine cables to the region as a natural experiment to estimate the impacts of internet penetration. The findings suggest that higher internet penetration increases real per capita GDP growth and productivity, and impacts the composition of both output and employment, with an increasing share from the services sector.
