The Nexus Between Domestic Investment and Economic Growth in G7 Countries. Does Internet Matter?
We examine the effect of the Internet on the relationship between domestic investment and economic growth. Data for G7 countries over the period 1991–2018 are used for panel data analysis. Empirical analysis prove that domestic investment affect positively on economic growth, however the Internet doesn’t have any effect on economic growth. Also, the effect of domestic investment on economic growth proves to be not affected by the Internet.
