Abstract
The aim of this paper is to analyze the impact of the e-government development on the multidimensional poverty. For this purpose, correlation analysis and panel data analysis were conducted using data of 43 countries over a decade period (2008–2018). To our knowledge, this is the first paper analyzing empirically the effects of e-government development on the global multidimensional poverty index. It was revealed that the e-government development index impacts negatively on the multidimensional poverty index, where, on average, a one-point increase in e-government is associated with the 0.302 points reduction in the global multidimensional poverty index.
