Abstract

This study examines how digital connectivity and public policy influence economic growth in developing countries, utilizing data from 21 nations spanning the years 2018 to 2023. The study focuses on internet adoption rates, internet speed, government policies, and GDP growth rates, employing a composite index and Panel-Corrected Standard Errors (PCSE) regression method. The findings indicate that higher internet penetration, faster internet speed, and enhanced internet security are positively associated with per capita GDP growth, highlighting the importance of digital connectivity in fostering economic development. In contrast, reliance on basic cellular connections shows a negative impact on per capita GDP, potentially due to lower productivity associated with basic mobile usage. The study also emphasizes the crucial role of public policy performance, which demonstrates a strong positive correlation with economic growth, suggesting that effective governance and well-implemented policies are essential for maximizing the benefits of digital infrastructure in driving economic progress. The study's integration of both digital connectivity variables and public policy provides new insights into the synergies between technology and governance, offering a comprehensive view of how these factors together influence economic outcomes. This approach adds valuable contributions to development economics, particularly in understanding the roles of modern digital infrastructure and policy frameworks in supporting sustainable growth in developing countries.

Abstract

This study examines the determinants of fintech adoption among Indonesian households using nationally representative microdata from SUSENAS 2022 and binary logistic regression analysis. The findings reveal that fintech adoption remains limited, with only 5.48% of households reporting the use of digital financial services such as mobile banking. Among the determinants, savings ownership emerges as the strongest predictor, associated with a 12% higher probability of adopting fintech, underscoring the importance of prior financial engagement. Other significant factors include educational attainment, ICT experience, and formal employment. The analysis also highlights notable geographic variation. Education increases the probability of fintech use by 1.37% in urban areas but only 0.27% in rural areas. Similarly, ICT experience is associated with a 4.72% increase in adoption probability in urban areas, compared to 1.28% in rural settings, reflecting unequal returns to human capital across region. Formal employment and land ownership play a more influential role in rural areas. In contrast, participation in government assistance programs such as PKH and BPNT is negatively associated with fintech use across both settings, indicating that digital transfers alone are insufficient to foster sustained financial inclusion. These results highlight the urgency of designing context-sensitive fintech policies that address digital literacy, institutional trust, and inclusive program integration.
