Introduction: With the proliferation and amalgamation of technology and the emergence of artificial intelligence and the internet of things, society is now facing a rapid explosion in big data. However, this explosion needs to be handled with care. Ethically managing big data is of great importance. If left unmanageable, it can create a bubble of data waste and not help society achieve human well-being, sustainable economic growth, and development.Purpose: This chapter aims to understand different perspectives of big data. One philosophy of big data is defined by its volume and versatility, with an annual increase of 40% per annum. The other view represents its capability in dealing with multiple global issues fuelling innovation. This chapter will also offer insight into various ways to deal with societal problems, provide solutions to achieve economic growth, and aid vulnerable sections via sustainable development goals (SDGs).Methodology: This chapter attempts to lay out a review of literature related to big data. It examines the implication that the big data pool potentially influences ideas and policies to achieve SDGs. Also, different techniques associated with collecting big data and an assortment of significant data sources are analysed in the context of achieving sustainable economic development and growth.Findings: This chapter presents a list of challenges linked with big data analytics in governance and achievement of SDG. Different ways to deal with the challenges in using big data will also be addressed.

  • Muhammad Sajjad Ashraf + 4 more

This study investigated the impact of the people category of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) on sustainable and conventional economic growth in Asia and the Pacific region, using a sample of 52 selected countries between 2000 and 2023. Employing two distinct models, model A1 for conventional economic growth and model A2 for sustainable economic growth, we explained the relationships between five SDG indicators: employed poverty rate, stunted children, expenditure on health, expenditure of education, and % of women MNAs on economic growth. This study employed a fixed-effect model and random-effect model to investigate the impact of the people category SDGs on traditional and sustainable economic growth. The comparative analysis of each SDG in both models revealed valuable insights. SDG 1, “employed poverty rate”, has a positive impact on economic growth in both models, while SDG 2, “percentage of stunted child”, did not significantly influence economic growth in either model. Moreover, SDG 3 and SDG 4, relating to “government’s health expenditure per capita” and “government’s Education education expenditure per capita”, respectively, exhibited a positive impact on traditional and sustainable economic growth. Conversely, SDG 5, “percentage of women members of national parliament”, displayed an insignificant impact on traditional and sustainable economic growth models. In conclusion, this study suggests that policymakers should prioritize targeted interventions to alleviate employed poverty, enhance healthcare, and boost education spending. Moreover, promoting women’s representation in national parliaments should be approached with context-specific strategies to maximize its impact on economic growth.

Trade-Investment Nexus and Economic Growth in East Asia
  • Dec 3, 2022
  • Shujiro Urata

SDG 8’s goal is to promote sustained, inclusive, and sustainable economic growth; full and productive employment; and decent work for all. This chapter examines the experiences of East Asian developing countries in achieving rapid and inclusive economic growth by focusing on the role of international tradeand foreign direct investmentnexus created through global value chains (GVCs)by multinational corporations (MNCs). GVCs enabled participating companies and countries to improve productivity, contributing to economic growth. The factors attributable to the participation in GVCs include high competitiveness of local companies and open business environment created by the Asian government. Moreover, construction and maintaining well-functioning soft (e.g., education and legal systems) and hard (e.g., transportation and communication systems) infrastructure by the government and international donors contributed to the creation of business-friendly environment. Faced with growing protectionism and the threats of growing US-China rivalry, infectious diseases, climate change, etc., maintaining an open and transparent rules-based business environment is crucially important to further achieving sustained, inclusive, and sustainable economic growth. In the light of absence of effective global economic order, exemplified by ineffectiveness of the World Trade Organizationin trade liberalization as well as dispute settlement, regional economic frameworks such as the CPTPP and RCEP in the Asia and Pacific region would be proven to be effective to achieve the goal.

Today, the world lives in the era of the digital revolution, witnessing a tremendous development in digital technology and communications. This great development has affected all aspects of economic and social life, and one of the aspects that it highlights is digital accounting and its impact on sustainable economic growth. Digital accounting is defined as the economic system that relies primarily on digital technology and electronic networks in its economic operations. Digital accounting includes the use of the Internet, information and communications technology, mobile applications, e-commerce, big data analytics, artificial intelligence, and many other technologies that enhance economic transactions and information exchange. The contribution of digital accounting to sustainable economic growth has several positive aspects. For example, digital accounting enhances innovation and leadership by providing a suitable environment for developing new businesses and discovering business opportunities. It also increases productivity and efficiency in economic operations by using digital technology and data analytics to improve operations and reduce costs. Thanks to the digital revolution, e-commerce is being enhanced and the market is expanding. Companies and individuals can now transact and trade online, opening doors to access global markets and expanding growth and competitive opportunities. The basis of our research is based on a basic hypothesis, which is that the expansion of digital accounting contributes to enhancing sustainable economic growth. The importance of the research lies in the importance of the study in adopting the problem of digital transformation and its effective role in supporting digital transformation and achieving sustainable economic growth. To prove the hypothesis of the research, it was divided into three main sections and several conclusions were reached, the most prominent of which is that the transition to digital accounting is a crucial element in achieving sustainable economic growth in the modern era and a number of recommendations, the most prominent of which is that the transition to digital accounting requires integration between technology, economy and society and cooperation between the public and private sectors.

  • P Eko Prasetyo + 1 more

The Indonesian government policy in encouraging sustainable economic growth to reduce unemployment, poverty and inequality is threatened to fail, because economic growth does not reach targets and is not of quality. The purpose of this research is to explain the four pillars of growth and development namely; human capital, social capital, institutional economics and entrepreneurship as the main drivers of quality and sustainable economic growth. This research method used primary data on entrepreneurship and SMEs in the provinces of Central Java and Yogyakarta. The correlational form of recursive model path analysis was used as analytical method. The research results show the very strong role of human capital as the main key in driving economic growth both directly and indirectly. The existence of human capital and social capital will further encourage new economic institutions, furthermore new economic institutions will encourage the competitiveness of productive entrepreneurship and high, quality, and sustainable regional economic growth. The policy implication is that high, quality, and fundamentally sustainable economic growth must be built on the four main pillars basis namely; human capital, social capital, institutional and entrepreneurship in order to be more successful in reducing development problems; unemployment, poverty and income inequality.

  • Sanjeev P Bhavnani + 2 more

The confluence of science, technology, and medicine in our dynamic digital era has spawned new data applications to develop prescriptive analytics, to improve healthcare personalization and precision medicine, and to automate the reporting of health data for clinical decisions.1 Data science in health care has seen recent and rapid progress along 3 paths: (1) through big data via the aggregation of large and complex data sets including electronic medical records, social media, genomic databases, and digitized physiological data from wireless mobile health devices2; (2) through new open-access initiatives that seek to leverage the availability of clinical trial, research, and citizen science data sources for data sharing3; and (3) in analytic techniques particularly for big data, including machine learning and artificial intelligence that may enhance the analyses of both structured and unstructured data.4 As new data sets are created, analyzed, and become increasingly available, several key questions emerge including the following: What is the quality of unstructured data generation? Will the use of nonstandardized methods in data processing with traditional software and hardware lead to data fragmentation and analyses that are nonreproducible? Will healthcare systems incorporate and use big data especially from new publically and patient-generated sources? How will physicians and researchers learn from new open-sourced data and big-data analytics? And ultimately, How can they acquire the skills to create a knowledge translation in data sciences?5 Practicing in an era of continuous payment reform and decline in research funding, early career investigators are challenged to keep up with the accelerating pace of change in medicine, all while being expected to provide meaningful contributions through productive clinical, educational, and research experiences.6 In this perspective, we aim to highlight how data science can catalyze professional advancement and discuss the implications of big data, open access, …

  • G Rajesh + 4 more

Big data application has found drastic growth in every field since it estimates an appropriate result, and it can handle any volume of data. Data analytics models predict the target through which rise or fall of each data can be identified. Big data, when combined with data analytics, overcomes all the traditional technology and provides the best solution. COVID-19, a disease that came into the picture as it emerged from Wuhan city, China, made a complete change throughout the world. Curing this disease became a significant challenge yet. Big Data and data analytics through the COVID-19 data have predicted and found the recovery and mortality rate in many hospitals of many countries. The aim of this paper is discussed in Section IV by comparing three different data analytic models—logistic regression, Kaplan–Meier analysis and SIR model, used for prediction of COVID-19 using myocardial injury dataset. This paper also has a literature study on big data analytics. It concludes with a favourable result on the SIR model. The challenges so far faced by big data and data analytics add a recommendation for other countries to get involved with big data and data analytics on COVID-19.

Analyzing the impact of positive and negative remittance inflow shocks on economic growth of India
  • Jun 1, 2023
  • Journal of Economic Studies
  • Imran Khan

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to empirically analyze the impact of remittance inflows on sustained economic growth in India.Design/methodology/approachThis study has taken a time series dataset for the period of 1976–2021, and a nonlinear autoregressive distributed lag model technique (NARDL) has been applied to check the impact of remittance inflows along with other control variables, including broad money and service sector performance, on the sustained economic growth of India.FindingsThe results of the study indicated that in both the short and long runs, any positive shock in remittance inflows has a positive impact on the economic growth of India, while negative shocks do not affect economic growth.Practical implicationsThe economic policymakers of India can use the findings of the study by implementing remittance-friendly policies. Moreover, NITI Aayog, the body working toward achieving sustainable development goals (SDGs) in India, can also use this study as a reference while making strategies to achieve SDG.Originality/valueEconomic growth has always been an area of interest among economists, researchers and policymakers. However, achieving sustained economic growth requires an analysis of those factors that themselves have sustained performance over a long period of time and have the potential to sustain it over the upcoming years. This study has taken remittance inflows as one such factor and investigated its impact on the sustained economic growth of India. At present, there is an evident gap in the literature that very little attention has been given to sustained Indian economic growth. Moreover, there is no study available in which the nonlinear impact of different variables has been tested on the economic growth of India.

What drives economic growth sustainability? Evidence from Indonesia
  • Dec 15, 2019
  • Entrepreneurship and Sustainability Issues
  • Jaka Sriyana

This paper analyzes the determinants of economic growth sustainability in Indonesia. Based on annual data 1971-2017, this research applies the vector error correction model (VECM) to estimate the dynamic effects of the inflation rate, tax ratio, government spending, broad money, and exchange rate on economic growth. The findings present the existence of long-run equilibrium in a set of those variables. Specifically, the price level and fiscal policy have positive impact on economic growth sustainability. We also find that the effect of monetary policy on economic growth is neutral. The monetary authority should strengthen the impact of monetary variables on economic growth. The exchange rate is part of international factors that threats the economic growth sustainability. It implies that economic growth sustainability is closely related to the international financial sector. Therefore, the central bank should control the exchange rate variable at the safety level to maintain economic growth sustainability.

Big data and data analytics in 5G mobile networks
  • Jun 30, 2023
  • Global Journal of Engineering and Technology Advances
  • Panagiotis Leliopoulos + 1 more

In this paper, we study the features of big data and data analytics. We see how Big Data contributes to mobile networks. We give a term in which big data generally refers to a large amount of digital data. Also, we estimate that the amount processed by "Big Data" systems will double every two years. Hence, Big Data on mobile networks need to be analyzed in-depth according to retrieve exciting and useful information. Big Data provides unprecedented opportunities for internet service providers to understand the behavior and requirements of their users, which in turn enables real-time decision making across a wide range of applications. After that, we mention the dimensions often describe the 4Vs of Big Data. We continue with the study about the use of big data analytics in mobile networks. As we see, new technologies for managing big data in a highly scalable, cost-effective, and damage-resistant manner are required. So, beyond 2020 the system capacity and data rates in mobile networks must support thousands of times more traffic than 2010 levels. Furthermore, we mention the end-to-end latency, the massive number of connections, the cost, the Quality of Experience, the Issues, and finally, the big data management. We continue with the study about the big data analytics in 5G. The 5G networks standardizing and the 5G mobile optimization are crucial areas. There are new research areas were exploring new analytics techniques in big data according to discover new patterns and extract knowledge from the data are collected. Big data analytics can provide organizations with the ability to profile and segment customers based on distinct socioeconomic characteristics and increase customer satisfaction and retention levels. Also, Big Data analytics techniques can provide telecom providers with in-depth knowledge of networks before making informed decisions. Also, as we see, these analytics techniques can help Telecommunication providers to monitor and analyze various types of data as well as event messages on networks. Important information, like business intelligence, can be extracted from momentary and stored data. Hence, the mass adoption of smartphones, mobile broadband modems, tablets, and mobile data applications has been overwhelmingly wireless. Operators bend under the pressure and cost of continuously adding capacity and improving coverage while maximizing the use of the existing components of their range. Advanced radio access technologies, and all Internet Protocols, open internet network architectures must evolve smoothly from 4G systems. So those needs are leading us to make a study about the heterogeneous network or else HetNet for 5G networks. We are continuing with the challenges, and we mention about the curse of modularity, dimensions procedure, feature engineering, non-linearity, Bonferonni's principle, category report, variance and bias, data locality, data heterogeneity, noisy data, data availability, real-time processing, and streaming, data provenance, and data security.

Factors influencing sustainable tourism economic growth: A case study of Lampang Province, Thailand.
  • Jan 1, 2025
  • Kasetsart Journal of Social Sciences
  • Amaporn Pongrungsie + 5 more

This study investigates the factors that influence sustainable economic growth caused by Community-Based Tourism (CBT). Two communities in Lampang province, where the success in applying the Sufficiency Economy Philosophy (SEP) to CBT is evident, are studied. A total of 377 questionnaires were used to obtain the data. The Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) approach was employed to test the hypotheses. The results of the testing of the measurement model and structural model indicate their reliability. Data analysis indicated that entrepreneurial skills fully mediate the relationship between SEP and sustainable economic growth. This finding holds managerial implications for other communities with similar contexts. Related agencies should enhance the communities’ entrepreneurial skills based on the SEP. This could serve as a driving mechanism toward sustainable economic growth based on the philosophy of sufficiency economy.

1694a Sustainable development goals and occupational health: an overview
  • Apr 1, 2018
  • A Jain

The Sustainable Development Goals (SGDs) call for an end to all poverty and marked improvements in health for all. The linkages of health to poverty reduction and to long-term economic growth have been shown to be much stronger than has been generally understood. The WHO Commission on Social Determinants of Health elucidated the close connexions between conditions of poverty and maladies which include several non-communicable diseases (NCDs), associated with these conditions. Strong evidence links poverty, poor employment and working conditions (exposure to occupational risks), lack of education, and other social determinants to NCDs, creating a vicious cycle, whereby worsen poverty through their impact, while poverty results in rising rates of such diseases. At the same time, because of the magnitude of illness, disabilities and premature deaths they cause and the long-term care required, they reduce productivity and increase healthcare costs, thereby weakening national economic development. Decent work is now at the forefront of the new sustainable development agenda, which for the first time explicitly refers to full and productive employment and decent work for all as a means of achieving sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth (SDG 8), and include goals relating to protecting labour rights and promoting safe and secure working environments of all workers, including migrant workers, women workers, and those in precarious employment. The SDGs also include a number of additional targets and goals, which have implications for health safety and wellbeing (e.g. SDG3, 4, 5, 10 and 12). The SGDs recognise that inclusive and sustainable economic growth is not only linked to the number of economically active people and economic output, but also to the conditions in which they work. However, much still needs to be done to improve working conditions and promote decent work and, consequently, sustainable and inclusive growth.
