Paper Abstract:
|
E-government initiatives can help to improve the business environment and the creation of new businesses. The present article has as its main goal to measure the impact of change of the index of e-readiness of e-Government (and its sub-indices) on ease of doing business, in the new business rate and the perception of corruption in countries of high, medium and low income, in order to test whether the effects depend on the income level. The study used a panel data (repeated measures), with four points (years 2008, 2010, 2012 and 2014), with three periods of change (2008/2010, 2010/2012 and 2012/2014), with data the following databases: Doing Business Report of the World Bank, the United Nations Survey on e-Government, Corruption Perception Index of Transparency International and World Banks Survey on Entrepreneurship. Data were analyzed using mixed linear models procedures with fixed and random effects. The data suggest that different models should be used to understand e-government relationship with other variables, controlling for income level effects, since the effects are diverse and depend on the income level. Indications for future research are presented. |
