“…Also, they found a great deal of variation in the results across individual countries. Duggal et al (2007) concluded that public capital has the potential to generate a return to scale at the aggregate level, thereby implying a permanent increase in economic growth. Égert et al (2009) revealed the positive impact of infrastructure investment on growth, showing that this effect varies across countries and sectors in OECD countries.…”

The aim of this paper is to examine the empirical relationship between the knowledge-based economy and economic growth in MENA countries. We are interested in identifying pillars linked with the transition to a knowledge-based economy that is related to growth performance. We used a growth model in Barro and Sala-i-Martin framework (1995) for the period of 2010-2015. It includes a panel data set that consisted the annual economic growth rate for selected MENA countries and, within the theoretical and empirical framework, applied the four indicators used for identifying the situation of the knowledgebased economy. The empirical results obtained using the generalized method of moments dynamic panel indicates institutions, human capital and research, infrastructure, and business sophistication to be the pillars of knowledge-based economy that influence a significant and positive economic growth in MENA countries. We suggest that governments in this region should consider the knowledge-related policies for accelerating transiting to the knowledgebased economy and improving economic performance.Keywords Convergence .

“…In particular, they find that where mass-market broadband was available, more rapid growth occurred in employment and business growth. Further, Greenstein, and McDevitt (2009), measured the economic value of broadband in terms of revenue and consumer surplus and Duggal, Saltzman, and Klein (2007), incorporated both public and private infrastructure within the framework of a nonlinear production function. Their model specified a technological growth rate as a nonlinear function of government infrastructure and private infrastructure generated by the information sector of the economy -cable, wireless stations satellites, internet facilities, broadcasting, etc.…”

“…These studies can be grouped into three classes: 1) macro-economic type of studies using general equilibrium theories and/or input-output tables [1,36,43,78,81,96,141]; 2) econometric type of studies not addressing the issue of causality [45,48,56,79,103,104,107,108,150,160,168,169]; and 3) econometric type of studies claiming to address causality [46,68,100,151].…”

Value of digital information networks: a holonic framework

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The worldwide extraordinary level of interest in digital information networks' deployment among nations is due to the strong perception that they bring economic, social and environmental value. Our literature review on studies aiming at clarifying the value of information networks, led us to conclude that these studies take speculative, elusive or limited conclusions. We identify the requirements to capture the value of information networks and indicate a possible theoretical ground to account for it. Based upon this, we propose a framework operationalized with data from Eurostat. Furthermore, we identify the added-value of our framework with a precise and comprehensive comparison with two state of the art reference frameworks. We demonstrate that our framework provides significant conceptual addedvalue and, more fundamentally, allows for traditional measures of economic value (e.g. productivity and growth), as well as for other measures of value (e.g. social and environmental). Finally, we demonstrate with examples the wider application range of our framework in comparison with existing work.
