Private sector is important for a country as it contributes to the economy and GDP of a country to a greater extent. E-government is the use of latest technologies in the services provided by the government and other information management systems. Research and development is the process applied before introducing a new product or starting a new business. This study analyzes the influence of e-government adoption and R&D process on private sector contribution of GDP in ASEAN countries. Two control variables i.e. literacy rate and per capita income have also been used. The past studies have been discussed in literature review section. For analysis purpose, data about the concerned variables has been collected from ASEAN countries for 27 years. After application of several tests and methods i.e. IPS unit root test, Pedroni cointegration test and FMOLS coefficient estimation test, the two major hypotheses of this study are accepted along with the impact of a control variable, literacy rate. However, the impact of other control variable i.e. per capita income is rejected. This study has various implications in theoretical, practical and policy making context in order to increase the performance and GDP contribution by private sector.

E-government is the employment of latest technologies and innovative practices in the services offered by the government and other information management systems to increase transparency and efficiency of these services. Agricultural extension services involve all the new and latest technologies related to the agricultural sector of a country. Agricultural sector is important for any country as most of the people are associated with this sector. This research studies the impact of e-government adoption and agricultural extension services on agricultural growth in ASEAN countries. In addition to these variables, two control variables i.e. literacy rate and population have also been used. The studies from the past research have been discussed in literature review section of this paper. To conduct research, data about the above-mentioned variables has been collected from ASEAN countries consisting of 28 years. After using several techniques and approaches, one of the two major hypotheses of this study is accepted along with the impact of a control variable, literacy rate. However, the other major hypothesis and the impact of other control variable i.e. population is rejected. This study has various theoretical, practical and policy making implications to increase agricultural growth.

Abstract Research background: Poverty, unemployment, literacy and per capita income are intertwined. However, there seems to be a disconnect between literacy and good living in Nigeria. Purpose: This study investigated the dynamic relationship between poverty, unemployment, literacy and per capita income in Nigeria by examining the impact, shocks and responses among these identified variables. Research methodology: The secondary data on poverty, unemployment and literacy rates were extracted from the National Bureau of Statistics and per capita income was extracted from the World Bank Annual Report. A vector autoregressive (VAR) model of lag order (4) was adopted for the study. Results: The results revealed that poverty rate is an increasing function of unemployment rate and literacy rate and a reducing function of per capita income. The results further showed that dynamics of poverty is affected by shocks in unemployment rate, literacy rate and per capita income. Novelty: Therefore, the study concluded that literacy rate fails as a vital tool for poverty reduction and that the high rate of unemployment results in chronic poverty. The application of VAR to untangle the interrelationship among the variables, without doubt, adds to the literature on the uses of the VAR model.

This study analyzed the impact of E-government adoption and open government data initiatives on economic growth of ASEAN countries. Literacy rate and population factor are two important control variables which are used in this research study. In the literature review section, past relevant research studies have been mentioned and reviewed effectively. The cross-sectional data has collected about concerned variables regarding ASEAN countries. The analyses included IPS unit root test, Pedroni cointegration and FMOLS estimation. The result of all these tests and approaches indicated that the hypotheses set by the researcher are accepted along with the impact of one control variable that is literacy rate while the relationship of population is found negative with economic growth. The researcher validated that E-government adoption and “open government data initiatives” have an incredibly significant impact on economic growth of ASEAN countries. This study has mentioned some important limitations and future indications which the future researchers can use to increase the literature about these concepts and a broader research can be conducted effectively. This study has various implications in theory, practical and policy making decisions that will ultimately result in increase of the economic growth of ASEAN countries and enhance the concepts of e-government and open data in these countries.

The Impact

E-government is an emerging concept that refers to the use of new technology for the provision of services to the citizens resulting in increase in transparency and efficiency. Financial capacity of a country refers to the ability of a country or government to manage the expenses and finances of the country and to make rational decisions related to finance. Level of education means the literacy rate or the number of knowledgeable people in the country. The basic plan of this study is to check the impact of level of education and financial capacity on the e-government adoption by people in the presence of two control variables, per capita income and GDP growth. In order to conduct research, data has been collected from ASEAN countries for 28 years from most reliable resources. In the research process, several techniques and tests are used such as IPS unit root test, Pedroni cointegration test, FMOLS coefficient estimation test, Granger casualty test etc. As the consequence of these tests, the impact of level of education and financial capacity well as the control variable, GDP growth on happiness level of people are accepted. However, the impact of a control variable, per capita income has been rejected. This study has several benefits and implications related to theoretical, practical and policy making benefits in context of increase in e-government adoption.

Subject. The poverty of the population with all features and factors of its manifestation causes deep structural problems that affect the development of the national economy. Objectives. The aim of the study is a comprehensive analysis of the poverty of the population category, using statistical data, identification of causes of the gap in the level of salaries of Russian and foreign specialists, determination of factors that have the greatest impact on the development of working poverty in Russia. Methods. The study draws on methods of logical and statistical analysis. Results. We considered approaches to the definition of poverty in Russia and other countries, analyzed absolute and relative poverty in Russia, the impact of subsistence minimum on the definition of poverty, assessed nominal and real incomes of the population. The ratio of the average per capita income of the population and the subsistence minimum decreased over the past decade, however, the poverty was not overcome during this period. The per capita income in Russia turned out to be low, real incomes continue to decline. Due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, a decline in wages can be traced, both in space and in time. Conclusions. Worsening the poverty situation in the country creates a chain of problems related to the distrust of the State policy in the social and labor spheres, expanded production slowdown, an increase in social tension in the society. A reduction of working poverty should be a priority task for the State.

Inter State

Traditionally inter-state migration in India was limited compared to within state migration. Economic reforms in the early 1990s have boosted inter-state migration in the country. Hence, it is important to understand the impact of economic reforms on the determinants of inter-state migration. Recent studies have identified that state border; linguistic divide and per capita income play an important role in determining the location of inter-state migration in India. In this paper, we tried to understand the impact of economic reforms on the choice of the location of inter-state migration in the country by using a gravity model framework. We found that while the impact of per capita income difference has increased in the post-reform period, the impact of the common-border has declined. Moreover, the impact of the linguistic divide has initially increased after reforms.

The dynamics of the five fastest growing GDP per capita economies in Asia and the EU are studied between 2010 and 2014. This time frame was selected in order to avoid the height of the 2008-2009 financial crisis, but to include the stimulus and recovery periods which occurred afterward. The intent was not to compare the recoveries or the impact of the stimulus programs. The intent was to compare the economic growth rates of the two groups and also the absolute per capita income along with five topic areas on economies including: configuration, utilization, investments, demographics, and outcomes. A total of twenty measurements are used for assessment from the World Bank databank website. The findings are that the Asian economies grew faster while the EU economies had a higher per capita income. The workforces of the Asia economies are also younger and more flexible whereas the workforces of the EU economies are older, but more educated. Discussions include the links between effective governments and economic development and the links between democracy and economic levels.

The Impact

Regional integration in Africa is a subject of great interest, but its impact on income has not been studied sufficiently. Using cross-sectional and panel estimations, this article examines the impact of African integration on real per capita income in Africa. Accordingly, we consider intra-African trade and migration flows as quantitative measures reflecting the intensity of regional integration. To address the endogeneity concerns, we use a gravity-based, two-stage least-squares strategy. Our results show that, from a long-term perspective, African integration has not been strong enough to generate a positive, significant, and robust impact on real per capita income in Africa. However, it does appear to be significantly income-enhancing in the short and medium terms but only through intercountry migration. These results are robust to a wide range of specifications.
