Title
Assessing the impacts of digital government in the creation of public value
Abstract
Digital government has been a key component on government reform strategies during the last years. Unfortunately, few research exists reporting on the impacts of electronic government in terms of the final outcomes. By using a model that links inputs to impacts, this paper explores the impacts of electronic government on competitiveness, efficiency, and transactions. We used panel data analysis to test eighteen hypotheses. Results support 5 of the 18 hypotheses, however three of the supported hypothesis resulted in the opposite direction. Results suggest that citizens use digital government mainly to complete electronic transactions with government, and also that they need simple portals to accomplish these tasks. Additionally, our results suggest that, at least at the initial stages, having two delivery channels have a negative impact on government efficiency. Finally, it appears that the relationship between digital government and more general impacts in the competitiveness of a region is not directly linked, at least on the short term.
