Whether a Higher E-Government Development Index Means a Higher GDP Growth Rate?
Аннотация
The aim of the paper is to investigate empirically how GDP growth rate is affected by the development of e-government, using data from 193 countries, over the period 2008–2018. Initially, correlation analysis, followed by panel data analysis was used to conduct our research. The results provide evidence that GDP growth rate decreases as e-government development index increases. Yet, sub-indexes of this index affect variously the rate of GDP growth: whereas index of human capital contributes to the GDP improvement, remained indexes affect GDP negatively. Index of e-participation has insignificant effect on GDP.
