We explore the relationship between GDP growth and “strategic coordination,” a construct from the varieties of capitalism literature (Hall and Soskice 2001). We find support of the hypothesis suggested by Witt and Lewin (2007) that the rise of the Internet in the 1990s is linked with lower GDP growth as strategic coordination increases. We find no support of a second hypothesis suggested by the same authors about the growth impact of FDI globalization in the 1990s, nor of the hypothesis by Hall, Soskice, and Gingerich (Hall and Soskice 2001; Hall and Gingerich 2004) that countries with very low or very high levels of strategic coordination show higher GDP growth. We further find that GDP growth in coordinated market economies tended to benefit from FDI globalization in the 1990s, though this effect was outweighed by a negative growth effect related to the rise of the Internet during the same period.
