论文摘要
关于IT关于数字化和国家经济增长的相反论点，信息技术（IT）和经济学文献进行了长期的辩论。尽管许多实证研究表明它具有重要的价值，但其他研究则揭示了有害的影响。鉴于对归因于COVID19全球大流行的数字化增加的结果和轶事评论，本文旨在通过在2018 - 2020年期间采用相关性和回归分析来探索7个地区59个国家的经济增长成果联系。研究结果表明，高数字化国家分类和区域评估之间的经济增长与数字化之间存在积极的关系。与区域结果一致，除了北非和西亚以及撒哈拉以南非洲地区，其余地区显示出正相关和回归结果。这项研究的结果可能会有助于未来的前瞻性国家IT和经济发展政策。
There has been a long-running debate in Information Technology (IT) and economics literature about the contrary arguments of IT concerning digitalization and the economic growth of nations. While many empirical studies have shown a significant value of IT, others revealed a detrimental impact. Given the ambiguous results and anecdotal commentary on the increase in digitalization attributed to the COVID19 global pandemic, this paper aims to explore the economic growth-digitalization nexus of 59 countries in 7 regions by employing correlation and regression analyses over the period 2018-2020. The findings indicate a positive relationship between economic growth and digitalization for both HIGH and LOW digitalized country categorization and regional assessment. Consistent with regional results, except for Northern Africa and Western Asia, and Sub-Saharan Africa regions, the remaining regions show a positive correlation and regression results. The findings of this study can be helpful in future prospective national IT and economic development policies.
