Dynamic relationship between technological innovation and governance institutional quality toward Malaysia’s sustainable economic growth
description Technological innovation is a dynamic growth factor and practical way of addressing sustainable growth challenges. The solution depends on a complex set of factors working together in parallel. Primarily, this study measures the impact of technological innovation on economic growth, incorporating the role of governance institutional quality. This study further considers the core determinants of economic growth, including capital, employment, electricity consumption, technological innovation, and governance institutional quality. In doing so, the current study applies the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) bound test to estimate time series data for 19842018 in the context of Malaysia.
