Paper Abstract:
|
This article aims to understand the relationship between e-government, business climate, the corruption perception and its impact the on the rate of new entrepreneurs. Data was collected from various databases, for the years 2008 and 2010, using a panel data, instead of a cross sectional design. The reports used were The Doing Business Report and E-Government Survey from the United Nations, Corruption Perception Index by Transparence International and GEM DATA from Global Entrepreneurship Monitor. After joining the databases correlation analysis and panel least squares regressions were performed to test the relationships between the variables. The results indicate that when a country is more e-gov ready it reaps some benefits such a more dynamic business sector and less perception of corruption as well. The probable causes of the relationships are discussed, including a suggestion for a more integrative approach to make it possible to less developed countries diminish the gap of e-government sophistication. Future research to understand the difference of impact of e-government in developed and developing countries are also suggested. |
