Economic growth contracted significantly. Restrictions on economic activity trigger people's shopping behavior to switch to non-cash and online systems. E-commerce, as one part of digital economic transformation, has experienced a significant increase which impacts the flow of dissemination of ideas, innovations, and information, thus encouraging economic growth. This study analyzes the Impact of e-commerce on economic growth in Indonesia during the COVID-19 pandemic using intermediation models and fixed effect analysis. The results show that e-commerce negatively and significantly impacts economic growth during 2019 and 2021. Because e-commerce stimulates economic growth in a country but needs to be supported by quality infrastructure, quality broadband internet, online security (cyber security), and digital payment systems (e-payment). The variables of online financing, efficiency of government spending, length of schooling, and number of tourists have a positive and significant effect. Meanwhile, the poverty rate and human development index have a negative and significant effect. In maximizing e-commerce activities in Indonesia, strong support and collaboration from the government, financial institutions, and the Ministry of Communication and information technology are needed.</em></p> Ririn Nopiah Retno Agustina Ekaputri Barika Barika Ratu Eva Febriani Copyright (c) 2024 Jurnal REP (Riset Ekonomi Pembangunan) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2024-04-17 2024-04-17 9 1 1 23 10.31002/rep.v9i1.1216 https://journal.untidar.ac.id/index.php/rep/article/view/1274 <p><em>This study investigates the relationship between the technology gap and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) spillovers in Indonesia. This study employs Medium-Large Manufacturing Survey Data from Statistics Indonesia and employs the standard least-square method to estimate the correlation between the technological gap and industries’ productivity change between 2010 and 2015. This study groups industries based on their technological gap (i.e. the difference between domestic and foreign establishment productivity) into low-technology-gap, medium-technology-gap, and high-technology gap. This study reveals that the effect of the technological gap is higher in the moderate-technology-gap group of industries and that there is a statistically significant positive relationship in the low-technology-gap and high-technology-gap groups. This finding indicates that the technological gap matters for FDI spillovers in Indonesia’s manufacturing and it can explain why there is spillovers from FDI in several industries. This study also reveals that industries with higher level of technological gap tend to have higher variation in productivity change, thus it can explain the difference between industries absorptive capacity. Therefore, promoting FDI inflows in the country also fosters domestic firms’ productivity growth especially FDI with relatively higher technology than domestic firms. These findings also recommend that the government support domestic firms’ absorptive capacity after promoting FDI inflow into the country.</em></p> Rudi Purwono Ibnu Nur Hamzah Mohammad Zeqi Yasin Copyright (c) 2024 Jurnal REP (Riset Ekonomi Pembangunan) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2024-04-17 2024-04-17 9 1 24 37 10.31002/rep.v9i1.1274
