“…It means that increase in accountability, administration via online access of information regarding government data and agencies, reduces the inaccuracies and risk which provide transparent and symmetric information to all the citizens where no power can be exercised to rig the private gain through malpractices, bribery, extortion, improper political contribution and abuse of discretion. Hence, improvement in e-government combat corruption (increases control of corruption) and estimated results are consistent with the studies of Klitgaard (1988), Lio, et al, (2011), UNDP (2008 and Goel at al., (2012). The econometric results depict that on the average increase in e-government increases the economic prosperity by 3.2 percent that is significant at 1 percent and shows 0.54 percent variations in economic prosperity due to change in e-government.…”

“…The six major hypotheses are constructed as defined in the conceptual framework. These are as follow:  H1= There is a positive association between e-government maturity and control of corruption (Klitgaard (1988), Srivastav and Teo (2008) and Lio, et al, (2011).  H2= There is a positive relationship between e-government maturity and economic prosperity (Porter (1990), Dutta and Jain (2005) and Melville, (2010).…”

Abstract:To generate and maintain sustainable economic growth, e-government and control of corruption are considered as a key contributor in the nation. E-government not only increases control of corruption and economic growth but also reduces environmental degradation. In this study, the relationship of e-government to control of corruption, economic prosperity and environmental degradation has been investigated. The structural equation model has been employed over the sample period of 2003 to 2013 for nine variables analyzed for selected Asian nation. The results indicate that e-government has a positive and significant association with economic prosperity and control of corruption. However, egovernment has a negative and important relationship to environmental degradation. Control of corruption is positively associated with economic prosperity and negatively related to environmental degradation. Finally, economic prosperity increases lead to decrease environmental degradation indicating negative relationship and confirming EKC (Environmental Kuznets Curve). The impact of control variables such that manufacturing, working for population and political stability all are positive to economic prosperity while exports and urban population show a negative association with the economic prosperity. In the case of environmental degradation, manufacturing and working population shows negative relationship while exports, political stability, and urban population shows a positive association with the environmental degradation. The study suggests that constructive national policies by practitioners and policy makers are required for the development of egovernment.

“…Telecommunications infrastructure impacts institutional quality in various ways. For example, Internet adoption has been found to have a positive impact on corruption reduction (Lio, Liu, & Ou, 2011;Shim & Eom, 2008). Shirazi (2008) showed that ICT infrastructure had a net positive impact on democracy and freedom of expression, which could enhance government accountability and hence institutional quality.…”

Abstract:Trade is one of the cornerstones of socio-economic development for Africa. Intracontinental trade stimulates productive capacity and competitiveness in nations through exposing domestic industries to competition. The purpose of this study was to investigate how information and communications technology (ICT) infrastructure impacts on intra-African trade, taking into account other relevant factors that also influence trade such as Institutional Quality and Educational Attainment. Archival data about Telecommunications Infrastructure (a key indicator of ICT infrastructure), Institutional Quality and Educational Attainment and Trade Flows (Export and Import) from 28 African countries were used as empirical evidence. The research employed structural equation modeling with partial least squares to analyze data. The empirical analysis shows that the Telecommunications Infrastructure has a major impact on intra-African trade. Interacting factors such as Institutional Quality and Educational Attainment also play a role in influencing intra-African trade.

“…Corruption in public procurement is increasing especially in developing countries as evidenced by reports of the World Bank, the United Nations (UN), Transparency International, and the Asian Development Bank (ADB) reports. Corruption can hinder the development of country by weakening national institutions, increasing business costs, eroding trust, and discouraging external investment (Lio, Liu and Ou (2011). Raymond (2008) argued that corruption is a serious problem for developing countries that actively hinders their progress.…”

One of the significant potential benefits of e-procurement technology is reducing opportunities for corruption in public procurement processes. The authors identified anticorruption capabilities of e-procurement through an extensive literature review and a theoretical model representing the impact of three latent variables: monopoly of power, information asymmetry, and transparency and accountability upon the dependent variable, the intent-to-adopt e-procurement. This research was guided by the PrincipalAgent theory and collected the perceptions of 46 government officers of the potential of public e-procurement to reduce corruption in public procurement processes. Results were analysed using the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) approach. The findings suggest that the intent-to-adopt e-procurement has a positive and significant relationship with the independent variables that might inform developing countries in strategies to combat corruption in public procurement.
