Keywords: E-Commerce, GDP, Panel-Data Regression, Business-to-consumer

Abstract: Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is currently developing rapidly along with its increasingly important role for both individuals and organizations. One form of ICT development is E-Commerce which serves as a comprehensive virtual marketplace. Based on macroeconomics context, the role of E-Commerce needs to be explored further, especially the relationship between Business to Consumer (B2C) E-Commerce and Gross Domestic Product (GDP), a topic that remains underexplored. The purpose of this study is to observe the nexus between B2C E-Commerce and GDP using two main classifications, namely: 1) economic status and 2) geographical continent. A panel-data regression analysis was conducted involving 117 countries from 2016 to 2020. The results showed that B2C E-Commerce had a positive and significant effect on GDP. In addition, the increase in e-commerce has been found to have the potential for nation growth in both developing and emerging economies. Notably, Africa and Asia-Oceania continents presented considerable opportunities to harness E-Commerce as a driver of national economic development. These findings provide important managerial and policy implications for governments and stakeholders in defining strategies to promote inclusive digital economic growth.
