Abstract

This study analyzes the impact of digitalization on economic growth in developing countries. In the modern era, digital technology has become a key driver of global economic transformation. Using panel data for 50 developing countries from 2010 to 2020, this study examines the relationship between digitalization and economic growth, measured by real gross domestic product (GDP) per capita growth. The indicators of digitalization include internet penetration, smartphone usage, and digital infrastructure, while education, foreign direct investment (FDI), and urbanization are included as control variables. The empirical analysis employs panel data regression using a Fixed Effects Model (FEM). The results indicate that digitalization makes a significant contribution to economic growth in developing countries. In particular, higher internet penetration, greater smartphone usage, and improved digital infrastructure are associated with enhanced productivity and efficiency across key economic sectors. In addition, education, FDI, and urbanization play important complementary roles by facilitating the adoption and effective use of digital technologies. These findings suggest that policymakers in developing countries should prioritize investment in digital infrastructure and expand digital access to maximize the growth benefits of digitalization.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of financial ratios and firm size on the profitability of companies in the chemical industry listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the period 2019–2023 . Profitability is measured using Return on Assets (ROA), while the independent variables include Working Capital to Total Assets (WCTA), Current Ratio (CR), Debt to Equity Ratio (DER), Total Asset Turnover (TAT), and Firm Size (SZ). A quantitative approach was employed using multiple linear regression analysis. The sample consisted of 25 chemical companies selected through purposive sampling. The findings reveal that CR, TAT, and SZ have a significant positive effect on ROA, while DER has a significant negative effect. WCTA, however, shows no significant impact on profitability. The adjusted R² value of 0.742 indicates that 74.2% of the variation in profitability can be explained by the model. These results highlight the importance of liquidity management, efficient asset utilization, optimal capital structure, and firm scale in driving profitability in the chemical sector. The study provides valuable insights for company management, investors, and policymakers in enhancing financial performance and strategic decision-making within the industry.
