Cross-sectional time series models for identifying the most important factors of e-government growth in Arab countries

The goal of this study was to determine the key elements driving the expansion of e-government in Arab nations. One of the econometric models—the cross-sectional time series model (panel)—was employed to accomplish the intended outcome. The following techniques were used to estimate the models: fixed effects model, random effects model, and linear panel data regression analysis. The results revealed that e-government is negatively affected by political stability and the absence of terrorism and violence (PV), positively affected by government effectiveness (GE), positively affected by regulatory quality (RQ), and positively affected by the rule of law (RL).
