ABSTRACT Digitalization transforms the traditional concepts of economic growth and competitiveness. This article studies the effect of digitalization on Russia’s economic growth. As indicators measuring the impact of digitalization processes on economic growth, the study used the Gross Domestic Product per capita, the Global Competitiveness Index, the Index of Digital Life, the Digital Adoption Index, and the Resilience Index. Their in-depth examination based on a three-pronged model showed that the state of the macroenvironment and the readiness of the population for digital transformation do not allow digital technologies to affect the economic growth rate seriously.

During the period from 2017 until 2022, the countries which consistently ranked as the most digitalized in the European Union were Finland, Denmark, the Netherlands, and Sweden. These countries scored highly across all categories measured in the EU's digital economy and society index (DESI) - that is, human capital, connectivity, integration of digital technology, and digital public services.

On the other hand, the member states that came at the bottom of the DESI rankings were mostly newer member states who have joined the EU since 2004. Some countries have made great strides in digitalizing their economy and society over this five year period including Italy, Czechia, and Cyprus.

This dataset contains the quantitative measurement of the Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI), the ASEAN Digital Integration Index (ADII), and the Digital Intelligence Index (DII) in 2019.

This selection includes data related to SPC member countries and territories for some of the indicators available in the original database published by the World Bank.

International Panel Data Analysis of the Effect of Digitalization on Economic Growth

Description

The effect of digitalization on economic growth is examined with reference to a cobb-Douglas production function. So, the dependent variable is the economic growth measured by the Gross Domestic Product per capita measured at 2015 constant US dollars. To reproduce the digitalization, we consider four indicators which are : 1. Number of fixe subscriptions (per 100 people) 2. Number of mobile cellular subscriptions (per 100 people) 3. Number of broadband subscriptions (per 100 people) 4. Number of individuals using the internet (%of population) 5. Digitalization level as obtained by applying a PCA Moreover, we include several macro-economic variables as control variables which affect the relationship between Digitalization and economic growth: 6. Investment measured by gross fixed capital formation (as percentage of GDP). 7. Trade openness which is a country’s trade volume used as a proxy for the degree of openness of a country’s economy (as percentage of GDP) and which is measured as the sum of imports and exports. 8. Labor force which is the total of labor force participation rate. 9. Inflation is measured by the consumer price index (%). 10. Population 11. Consumption is the government consumption expenditure for goods and services (as a percentage of GDP).
