Theoretical Support: Growth Theory
• Continuous exogenous technology growth
• Technology-led economic growth aligns with the context of digital
economy growth.
• Advance Internet technology provide platform for ecommerce
Development of E-
commerce
β0 = 2.999291
O When foreign direct investment, DPIC, RGDP, RDGDP and
MCS are equal to zero, on average, the ECS in USA will be
2.999291. 2.999291 indicates the ECS that is not explained
by DPIC, RGDP, RDGDP and MCS.
O β1= ˗ 0.0558: When Real Disposable Personal Income(DPIC)
increases by 1%, on average, E-commerce sales (ECS)
decreases by ˗ 0.0558%, ceteris paribus
O β2 = 0.2491: When Real Gross Domestic Product (RGDP)
increases by 1%, on average, E-commerce sales (ECS)
increases by 0.2491%, ceteris paribus.
O β3= 0.0231: When Research and Development Gross
Domestic Product (RDGDP) increases by 1%, on average, E-
commerce sales (ECS) increases by 0.0231%, ceteris paribus.
O β4 = 0.2315: When M-commerce share of total digital
commerce spending (MCS) increases by 1%, on average, E-
commerce sales (ECS) increases by 0.2315%, ceteris paribus.
R squared
1. R-squared = 0.9645
Interpretation: 96.45% of the variation of E-commerce sales can
be explained by the independent variables which are real
disposable income, research and development gross domestic
product and M-commerce share of total digital commerce
spending.
2. Adjusted R-squared = 0.9588
Interpretation: 95.88% of the variation of E-commerce sales can
be explained by the independent variables which are real
disposable income, research and development gross domestic
product and M-commerce share of total digital commerce
spending after taking into account of degree of freedom.
Hypothesis Testing
Final Model
O T-test:
H0: βi = 0
H1: βi ≠ 0
α = 0.05
Decision Rule: Reject H0 if p-value smaller than α = 0.05.
Otherwise, do not reject H0.
Hypothesis Testing
O F-test:
H0: The model is not significant.
H1: The model is significant.
α = 0.05
Decision Rule: Reject H0 if p-value smaller than α = 0.05.
Otherwise, do not reject H0.
P-value: 0.0000
Decision making: Reject H0 since the p-value (0.0000) is
smaller than α = 0.05
Conclusion: We can conclude that the model is significant
at significance level of 0.05.
Consistency of the result

Policy Implication
Improve the informatization infrastructure construction (m-
commerce sector.)
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009 are unlikely
to be renewed due to budget reduction
Enhance the urbanization level and increased usages of mobile phone
Invest in network infrastructure for ecommerce online
transaction.
Payment technology innovation encouragement policies is vital to
maintain the effectiveness of payment system.
Supportive payment system( QR code)
Biometric m-payment system
Establish legalized policy to protect trustworthy online payment
system
Provide innovation encouragement and increase governmental
support for high profile third-party payment platforms
Promote the local programs and global initiatives to
invest in those entrepreneurs
most cost-effective method by investing in small and
medium enterprise (SME).
SMEs are targeting lower business capital cost.
Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC), U.S.
Agency for International Aid (USAID), the Millennium
Challenge Corporation, and the State Department
Mismatch resources and needs
Providing SMEs with human, financial and
technologies sources in order to facilitate the
adoption of ecommerce technologies.
Provide technology education (Training on usage of
electronic media)
Set up a suitable ICT mechanisms
Collaborate with industry partners

loan)
Policy implication
Legislation and law enforcement
improve the privacy protection on a large scale
to regulate, to authorize, to outlaw, to provide funds, to
sanction, to grant, to declare or to restrict
dealing with issues brought about by information
technology was developed
efforts culminating in the draft for an electronic
commerce guideline
digital signature and telemarketing guidelines are
representative
Credit guarantees policy
guarantor promises to pay to the lender within a
specific time period
a promise by the guarantor to pay all or part of the
loan if the borrower defaults
the guarantor is an independent entity that acts as a
third party between the lending bank and a borrower
to reduce the credit risk or default risk and increase
the confidence of consumer or seller towards e-
commerce
Limitation of the study
i. Limited data available that can be accessed.
O Use time series data instead of panel data.
ii. Constrained to a small sample size.
O Have to settle for less conclusive results.
iii. Insufficient review of relevant theoretical models
O Less relevant theories can be found
iv. Difficulties in selecting the independent variables.
O Different analysis implemented and different results
obtained for
different selected groups of variables.
Recommendation for future research
More research on statistical improvement
• Enhance measurement of economic activity
Detailed empirical analyses
• Study wider range of factors
Expand the scope of research
• External : cultural and environmental factor across
countries
Enlarge the sample size
• Increase the validity of the result
