Purpose – the purpose of the article is to study the effect of digitalisation development indicators on per-capita GDP growth. Research methodology – the basic research method is the fixed-effects panel regression that describes the effect of the digitalisation development indicators on per-capita GDP between 1999 and 2017. Findings – research showed the most critical factors for per-capita GDP growth are the ones that linked with fixed and mobile subscriptions. Research limitations – The limitations of the research stem from the limitations of analysis as the method that has been employed makes it possible to measure the effect of the selected variables on per-capita GDP, but further research requires a detailed analysis of the factors being studied in application to each country. Practical implications – The findings can be used as a basis for choosing areas of more detailed factor analysis of the digitalisation process effectiveness and can support investment decision-making. Originality/Value – The study enables one to identify the most and the least important factors that are reflected by digitalisation indicators that have an impact on the per-capita GDP.

Conflicts in the form of civil war, ethnic tensions and political discord are of enduring concern and a major bottleneck to economic development in Sri Lanka. Three decades of civil war and unethical political culture have caused severe economic problems for the country, including slower rate of growth and a huge defence expenditure. The aim of this study is to examine the effect of military expenditure and conflict on per capita GDP growth rate in Sri Lanka from 1973 to 2014 using the Solow growth model and ARDL bounds test approach. The results of the bounds test are highly significant and lead to cointegration. The negative and significant coefficients of the error correction term illustrate the expected convergence process in the long-run dynamic of per capita GDP. The estimated empirical results show that, the coefficients of military expenditure and conflict are negative and statistically significant in the short-run as well as in the long-run in determining per capita GDP growth rate in Sri Lanka. Hence, it is critically important to take necessary action to decrease military expenditure and provide an efficient political solution to the problem of minorities, specifically in the post-war period.

Infrastructure and growth nexus has been debated in the literature since 1980s. This debate has a vital importance for the sake of developing countries. These countries need to grow faster in order to catch-up their advanced counterparts. Thus, it is important to detect the effect of infrastructure on growth. Bearing in mind this fact, we develop a standard growth regression in this present chapter using per capita GDP growth rate as a dependent variable. Infrastructure is added to the model as an index constructed from the indicators of infrastructure: total electric generating capacity, total telephone lines and the length of road network. We also employ set of instrumental variables comprising 29 developing countries between 1990 and 2014. In order to estimate our dynamic panel data we prefer GMM estimators. According to our empirical analysis, we can claim that infrastructure has a positive and significant impact on growth. But this impact is smaller than the earlier studies predict.
