This study explores the cointegration relationship and causal link of internet penetration and broadband subscription to economic growth from the 10 countries of ASEAN for the period 2000-2016. A pooled multiple regression model with GDP growth as a function of internet penetration and broadband subscription was developed. The Johansen-Fisher panel cointegration was applied to determine the presence of a long-run equilibrium relationship among the three variables and the direction of causality was identified by estimating the panel-based vector error correction model (VECM). Results from cointegration test indicate a long run equilibrium relationship between internet penetration, broadband subscription and economic growth. The causality test reveals there is long run causality running from internet penetration and broadband subscription to economic growth. In the short-run, broadband subscription causes economic growth in the ASEAN countries. However, internet penetration has no causal link with economic growth in the short-run during the period 2000-2016. The findings are supportive of the claim that internet penetration and broadband connections are engine of economic growth and are rapidly transforming ASEAN economies. Based on these findings, this study recommends that ASEAN governments should be supportive on policies that promotes better internet and broadband infrastructure to achieved short and long-run economic growth.

"Immediately after the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, suspicion naturally fell on Confederate leaders as being responsible for the great crime. The belief in their complicity faded when the case against Jefferson Davis and other unindicted co-conspirators collapsed at the trial of John Wilkes Booth's action team (Booth was dead) in May and June, 1865. The belief then hibernated for 123 years, during which period the prevailing wisdom was that Booth had in fact acted with the help of no one other than his team, with the possible exception of Dr. Samuel Mudd and Mary Surratt. In 1988, however, assassination historians James O. Hall, William A. Tidwell and David Gaddy thoroughly discredited the simple conspiracy theory in their seminal work Come Retribution, holding that

Summary  ABRAHAM DE MOIVRE (1667 Vitry ‐ 1754 London) was one of the foremost pioneers in the domain of the theory of probability. His principal contributions are laid down in his "Doctrine of Chances" (three editions, 1718, 1738, 1756). This classic work, almost forgotten, is now republished, as a splendid photographic reprint of the third (last) edition, by Chelsea Publishing Company of New York (1967).In this article we specially mention his original contributions respecting the problem of the duration of play, the theory and application of recurrent series, the theory of runs, and especially his extension of the value of BERNOULLI'S theorem by the aid of STIRLING'S theorem.In the last mentioned research DE MOIVRE obtained the equation for the curve of error, thus antedating LAPLACE by about 50 and GAUSS by 76 years. This important fact is discovered by KARL PEARSON in 1924.
