Abstract

This study aims to analyze the impact of e-commerce on economic growth in 28 countries and territories in Asia during the period 2015 - 2023, by applying a panel data regression model using the Fixed Effects Model (FEM). Data was collected from reliable sources such as the World Bank, Statista, and the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). The research results show that E-Commerce Revenue (ECR), E-Commerce User rate (ECU), R&D Expenditure (RDE), Final Consumption (FC), and Population Growth (PG) all have a positive impact on economic growth; meanwhile, the ICT development index and Government Expenditure (GE) show a negative effect.
