How does China’s information and communications technology infrastructure investment promote economic growth?
Purpose: This study aims to analyse the effects of China’s information and communications technology (ICT) infrastructure investment on economic growth. Design/methodology/approach: Using a panel data set of China’s 30 regions during 2010–2015, this study uses the generalized method of moments (GMM) methods. Findings: This study finds that compared with “old-type” infrastructure investment such as transport infrastructure and utility infrastructure, there is a time lag but greater effect from ICT infrastructure investment on growth and this relation is non-linear. Also, the human capital factor plays an enhancing role. Originality/value: This study is the first of its kind that examines the relationship between ICT infrastructure investment and growth in China.
