Název v původním jazyce

Information and communication technology diffusion, supply chain performance, health care and human development: A case of the South Asian region

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

South Asian countries have shown tremendous progress in information and communication technology (ICT) and have become one of the fastest-growing regions in technology, innovation, and business competitiveness. The pivotal role of ICT diffusion in the economic growth of both developed and developing countries is a well-established fact. Therefore, this research aims to examine the impact of ICT diffusion (especially the evaluation of ICT indicators) on three core outcomes, namely supply chain performance, health-care expenditures, and the Human Development Index in the context of South Asian economies. To measure ICT, we used three core ICT indicators (i.e., fixed broadband subscriptions, mobile phone subscribers, and internet users) individually as well as in the form of an index developed through principal component analysis (PCA). Panel data of South Asian economies ranging from 2007 to 2021 were used to estimate the equations. The outcomes revealed that all the variables were integrated at order one (1). Second, ICT had a long-run/equilibrium relationship with supply chain performance, health-care expenditures, and human development index. Third, the response of all individual ICT indicators as well as the ICT index on supply chain performance was positive and significant in estimated coefficients. Fourth, the ICT index and all ICT indicators had a positive influence on health-care expenditures. Finally, the ICT index and two out of three individual ICT indicators had a positive and significant influence on HDI. Interestingly, among all the three indicators of ICT, internet users were found to have more pronounced effects on the promotion of supply chain performance, health-care expenditure, and HDI. The more pronounced effect of internet users implied that policymakers should consider devising policies to promote ICT penetration with a core focus on internet penetration. © 2024, Technical University of Liberec.
