Abstract

The main objective of this paper is to determine the role of the digital economy as an absorptive capacity in moderating logistics performance and economic growth in Asian countries. This study utilised panel data from 15 selected Asian countries over the period of 2007 to 2020. This study employed the Dynamic Ordinary Least Square (DOLS) estimation technique to analyse the data. The main finding of this study indicates that digital economy plays a significant role in the logistics performance-growth link in Asian countries. The finding also indicates that, by incorporating the role of the institution in the digital economy, the institution had a moderating effect on the digital economy to enhance logistics performance, which can boost economic growth.
