Abstract

This paper assesses empirically the influence of e-government on poverty rate, using data of 54 countries over the timespan of 2008–2018. The results provide strong evidence for the claim that e-government is associated negatively with the poverty rate. It was revealed that, on average, a one-point increase in e-government is associated with the 7.1 percentage point reduction in poverty rate.
