“…Information technology has been established to improve development in a multitude of ways, inter alia: living standards (Chavula, 2013); better life for all (Kivuneki et al, 2011;Ponelis & Holmner, 2013ab); welfare externalities (Carmody, 2013;Qureshi, 2013bc); economic growth (Qureshi, 2013a;Levendis & Lee, 2013); sustainable growth (Byrne, 2011) and financial access (Kamel, 2005) in developing countries. Furthermore, compared to the rest of the world, the potential for information and communication technology (ICT) in Africa is higher.…”

Information technology is increasingly facilitating mechanisms by which information asymmetry between lenders and borrowers in the financial sector can be reduced in order to enhance financial access for human and economic development in developing countries. We examine sharing on financial depth (money supply and liquid liabilities) and financial activity (at banking and financial system levels). Second, for financial intermediation efficiency, the positive effects from mobile-driven information sharing are apparent exclusively in certain levels of financial efficiency. Third, with regard to financial size, mobile-driven information sharing is positive with a negative threshold, whereas, internet-driven information sharing is positive exclusively among countries in the bottom half of financial size. Positive thresholds are defined as decreasing negative or increasing positive estimated effects from information sharing offices and vice-versa for negative thresholds. Policy implications are discussed.JEL Classification: G20; G29; O16; O55; C52

“…On the one hand, the literature on ICT for economic development in developing countries has focused on inter alia: standards of living (Chavula, 2013); economic growth (Levendis & Lee, 2013;Qureshi, 2013a); sustainable development (Byrne, 2011); welfare externalities (Carmody, 2013;Qureshi, 2013bc); financial sector development (Kamel, 2005); inclusive development (Asongu & Nwachukwu, 2016a;Asongu & Le Roux, 2017) and better life for all (Kivuneki et al, 2011;Ponelis & Holmner, 2013ab) 2 .…”

The study investigates how education, scientific output and the internet complement mobile phone penetration to affect technology commodity exports in Sub-Saharan Africa for the period 2000-2012. The empirical evidence is based on Generalised Method of Moments. The following main findings are established. First, the internet complements the mobile phone to boost technology goods exports. Second, the internet also complements the mobile phone to boost technology service exports. Third, positive marginal effects are apparent in the roles of educational quality and scientific output on technology goods exports and technology service exports respectively while negative marginal impacts are apparent in the roles of scientific output and educational quality on technology goods exports and technology service exports respectively. Practical and theoretical implications are discussed.
