This papers aims to measure the impact of change of e-government index (and its composing sub-indexes) in the ease of doing business and the rate creation of new business. The study used a panel data design, with three points (years 2008, 2010 and 2012), in two change periods (2008/2010 and 2010/2012), collecting data from various databases: Doing Business Report by World Bank, United Nations E-Government Survey, Corruption Perception Index by Transparence International and World Bank Entrepreneurship Survey.
