Description
Summary:	This study examines the impact of information and communication technologies (ICT) and globalisation on economic growth in the (Association of South‐East Asian) ASEAN economies from 1999 to 2019 using dynamic panel estimators. Previous literature has shown that ICT and globalisation can impact growth through the role of knowledge dissemination and information. Subsequently, this study examines the moderating impact of globalisation on the relationship between ICT and economic growth. Our results show that both ICT and globalisation are positive to growth. Interestingly, the marginal impact of ICT and globalisation suggests that the marginal impact of ICT is insignificant at low levels of globalisation. Policy implications are discussed.
