Dynamic panel analysis demonstrates that strong governance enhances digital transformation's growth benefits in low- and middle-income countries, highlighting the necessity of institutional reform.

Key Points

To evaluate whether governance moderates the relationship between digital transformation and inclusive economic growth across low- and middle-income countries.
Analyzed panel data from 54 low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) spanning the period from 2010 to 2023.
Applied a dynamic panel System GMM estimator alongside panel quantile regression to address endogeneity, persistence, unobserved heterogeneity, and distributional variations across growth levels.
Digital transformation functioned as a major driver of economic growth, with the interaction between digital infrastructure and governance quality showing a positive and significant effect.
Panel quantile regression revealed distributional heterogeneity, indicating that lower-growth countries obtain weaker digitalization benefits when lacking robust institutional support.
