Abstract

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 analaysis prove that domestic investment affect positively on economic growth, however the internet dont has any effect on economic growth. Also, the effect of domestic investment on economic growth proves to be not affected by the Internet.
