• Resumen

  • This paper seeks to determine the factors energising economic growth using balanced panel data between 1997 and 2017 from 44 developing economies. The heterogeneous panel data estimator, namely the pool mean group (PMG) estimator is utilised to analyse the data. We find national leadership, telecommunication technology and finance significantly impact growth. Additionally, the effects of finance and telecommunication on growth are both contingents upon exemplary leadership.
