Information and communication technology is a set of tools or technology which in terminology includes all technical tools for processing and also disclosing informationInformation and communication technology, including media technology, has been growing in the era of globalization. The development of this technology has an impact on changes in people's behavior in the use of mass media and in the end also changes the pattern of effective community development in the digital era as it is today. The development of information and communication technology has brought many changes to human life in the world. Humans are able to penetrate time and space by using technology based on information and communication technology. This study uses secondary data obtained from the World Bank Indocator and the International Telecommunication Union. The method used is a quantitative method with panel data regression from 2010-2019 in eight Southeast Asian countries namely Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam. The variables used in this study are Economic Growth, ICT Trade Export, ICT Trade Import, Landline Telephone, Mobile Phone, Internet Users, Internet Secure Servers, Fixed Broadband, and Foreign Direct Investment. This study forms three models, namely model 1 for research on Trade Export of ICT, model 2 for research on Trade Import of ICT and model 3 for research on Economic Growth and ICT. The results showed that model 1 found only Fixed Broadband which had a significant influence on ICT exports. In model 2 there are Mobile Phone and Fixed Boradband which have a significant influence on the import of ICT. While in model 3 only Foreign Direct Investment has a significant influence on economic growth.

Abstract Global warming has been acknowledged as one of the main environmental issues, and economic freedom as one of the institutional factors is believed to be the key to protecting the environment. This study evaluates the proposition that countries with higher economic freedom will have a better environment than countries with a dictatorship government. This study uses panel data regression data from 2011 to 2017 and consists of seven ASEAN Countries. This study constructs an econometrics model with three main variables, i.e., economic freedom, Information, and Communication Technology (ICT), and real gross domestic products (GRDP) that have an impact on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. The main results show that (1) higher economic freedom leads to low CO2 emissions. (2) better Information and Communication Technology reduces the level of CO2 emissions. And (3) Positive economic growth influence a higher level of CO2 emissions. The policy implication implies that the governments in seven ASEAN countries should support more economic freedom to support a better environment, use efficient ITC that leads to the protection of the environment. Apply the environmental statistics into the calculation of GRDP to improve countries’ capacities to manage their economies and natural resources.

Australia has vitally identified the benefits of innovation in past few years. The Country is ranked among the top nations in OECD. They are currently working on developing the infrastructure of Research and Development sector of the Country as well as reinforced themselves in developing their Information and Communication technology. Thus, the Country has identified the importance of innovation and how its components can help in achieving increased economic growth. Innovation is the inventive or new ways a company or country adopt to carry out its processes in a more efficient manner.The incorporation of innovation in the processes of economic development through production or other ways lead to higher profitability and broader use of the available resources in an efficient and advanced way. Thus, the purpose of the following research is to analyze innovation as an economic driving force in Australia. For the fulfillment of this purpose, the researcher carried out a quantitative research under which 5-points Likert scale was designed that include questions relating to the various identified components of innovation as the independent variable and economic growth as the dependent variable. The survey was circulated among 219 executives that are working in different sectors of Australia to understand their opinion. The results through multi-regression model depicted that innovation and technology have a significant impact on the growth of Australian economy.
