      abstract = {The objective of this study is to estimate the effect of  internet on economic growth in Africa as this region has  recently been a rapidly growing number of internet usersas  well as high economic growth. Using the constructed panel  data set of 19 African countries from 2003 to 2014 and  employing the Fixed Effect-Iterated Generalized Least  Square (FE-IGLS) estimation to correct for autocorrelation  and heteroskedasticity, the results show no spurious  regression problem. It indicated that internet hasan impact  on economic growth when it is complementary with physical  capital and technology. Our main finding suggests that  African governments should support their children toenter  in education higher than secondary level and encourage  labor using internet to boost up their knowledge.},
