“…In this way, they can become more competitive and enhance their quality of life. The hypothesis is alternatively referred to as "economic growth-led ICT hypothesis", meaning there is unidirectional causality running from economic growth to ICT (Dvornik and Saboli c, 2007;Lee et al, 2012;Pradhan et al, 2017bPradhan et al, , 2018aPradhan et al, , 2013aVeeramacheneni et al, 2011).…”

PurposeThe objective of this study is to examine the causal relationship between economic growth, information and communication technology (ICT) penetration and innovation development in OECD countries.Design/methodology/approachThis study incorporates data for 24 OECD countries from 2000 to 2018, which is divided into the earliest (2000–2009) and the latest (2010–2018) periods. The econometric methodologies of this study employ panel cointegration, estimation procedures and vector error-correction modelling to investigate the potential interconnections between ICT, innovation development and economic growth.FindingsThe results from the latest period illustrate that OECD countries have achieved positive and significant economic development from high ICT penetration, while results from the earliest period show that OECD countries were just beginning to enjoy the benefits of ICT penetration. Moreover, findings show that innovation development is highly significant in the latest period when promoting economic growth.Practical implicationsThe policy implications suggest that promoting ICT infrastructure establishment and expanding the innovation development may drive the process of economic development in OECD countries.Originality/valueThis study employs mobile and Internet penetration as the development of telecommunication which is in line with the enlargement of innovation to foster economic growth in OECD countries. Comparing the evidence from two decades provides significant value for policymakers and decision-makers regarding the advantages of technology expansion and innovation development to promote economic growth in recent conditions.

“…Literature also involves studies employing causality and production function in order to identify the relationship between growth and telecommunication. For instance, Dvornic and Sabolic [21] attempt to find out whether telecommunication investments in Eastern European countries with transition economies affect growth or not; in other words, they try to answer the following two questions "Are telecommunication investments in these countries the cause or the result of economic growth? ", and "Are developments in telecommunication market the cause or the result of economic growth?".…”

This study aims to comparatively investigate the effects of telecommunication infrastructure on the economical growth in OECD countries. For this purpose, OECD countries were divided into two groups i.e. European Union (EU) and non-EU OECD countries for the period of 1993-2013. Findings of dynamic panel data model showed that investment on the telecommunication infrastructure has more positive effect on EU OECD countries than non-EU OECD countries. Since telecom appears as the key sector to fuel growth because it is associated with information technology and all ramifications of computer based applications and mobile communication, all countries at all development levels are proposed to focus on investing in these sectors the opposite of which hinders growth.

“…In a contemporary period, the 5.0 or 4.0 technologies digital have adapted to the needs of manufacturing industries (a new industrial stage), offering patterns such as smart manufacturing, smart products, smart supply chain and smart working, internet of things, cloud services, big data and analytics (Frank et al 2019). For these reasons, developed and developing countries have been directing policy instruments that can promote the expansion and modernization of telecommunications in the national territory (Dvornik and Sabolić 2007;Pradhan et al 2017). The world began to see information taking place in a similar way to energy as an important input in the face of the advances and diffusion of microelectronics and telecommunications technologies (Werthein 2000).…”

In the last two decades, new technologies and the rapid growth of the telecommunications sector have changed production and trade relations in world economic systems. Regional dependence on the level of productivity, supply and demand of telecommunications has increased worldwide. Our study analyzes the changes in total factor productivity (TFP) of telecommunications and verifies its global and regional importance between 2000 and 2014. We apply the TFP decomposition and extraction technique in an input−output model. The main findings suggest improved efficiency has resulted in TFP gains in developed countries, whose variations were lower than those of Brazilian telecommunications, which exhibit a low capital−labor ratio. Moreover, global and regional dependence is more sensitive to supply than the demand for telecommunications. Although the main effects on the regional output are intraregional, the backward and forward effects denote a heavy regional reliance on US telecommunications and reciprocity between China and European countries. The increase in telecommunications influenced by national policies in countries with little emphasis on regional composition should generate minor marginal gains in PTF, even with the gain in productive efficiency. These policies are also expected to reduce the dependence on American and Chinese telecommunications.
