Interplay of Technological Advancements, Public Health Equity, and Governance in Shaping G7 Futures as Catalysts of Sustainable Development

This study investigates the interdependent dynamics of technological innovation, public health equity, and governance quality as catalysts for sustainable development in G7 economies. Employing a robust empirical methodology, including cross-sectional autoregressive distributed lag (CS-ARDL) and panel regression models, the analysis utilizes longitudinal data to disentangle short- and long-run relationships. The findings reveal that these factors form a synergistic triad, with governance quality acting as a critical moderator that amplifies the positive impact of digital infrastructure. A novel finding is the inverted U-shaped relationship between sustainable development performance and its outcomes, indicating diminishing marginal returns. The study further establishes public health and labor market efficiency as fundamental inputs for long-run resilience. The key implication is that siloed policy interventions are insufficient; achieving sustainable development requires integrated strategies that consciously align technological advancement with institutional strength and human capital investment. This study contributes a novel empirical framework for understanding the non-linear and conditional interactions that shape advanced economies' pathways towards sustainability.
