Digitalisation and economic growth: insights from endogenous growth theory

This article explores the role of government digitalisation in promoting economic growth through the scope of Endogenous Growth Theory. This theory states that digital governance strengthens long-run growth by enhancing productivity, improving innovation incentives, and facilitating knowledge spillovers. Unlike neoclassical models that treat technological change as exogenous, endogenous growth frameworks emphasise internal drivers shaped by policy and institutional quality. Therefore, this article highlights the deployment of digitalisation as a strategic public input that supports sustained economic development, particularly in developing economies.
