数字政府和创新

本研究利用 2003 年至 2021 年期间跨越 107 个国家的综合面板数据集，调查了电子政务 （E-government） 对技术创新的影响。我们记录了电子政务显着促进技术创新的有力证据。更具体地说，对电子政务的三个关键组成部分的深入分析表明，在线服务 （OSI） 的质量和电信基础设施 （TII） 的发展对创新产生了统计学上显着的积极影响。相比之下，在本研究的范围内，固有人力资本 （HCI） 并未证明对创新有显着影响。此外，电子政务通过改善营商环境、提高政府效率和促进数字经济来促进技术创新。最后但同样重要的是，本文发现，加强贸易和投资便利化可以进一步加强数字政府对技术创新的积极影响，作为放大这种影响的调节因素。

This study investigates the impact of E-government on technological innovation using a comprehensive panel dataset spanning 107 countries from 2003 to 2021. We document strong evidence that E-government significantly promotes technological innovation. More specifically, an in-depth analysis of three key components of E-government shows that the quality of online services (OSI) and the development of telecommunications infrastructure (TII) have statistically significant positive impacts on innovation. By contrast, within the scope of this study, inherent human capital (HCI) does not demonstrate a significant impact on innovation. Furthermore, E-government facilitates technological innovation by improving the business environment, enhancing government efficiency, and promoting the digital economy. Last but not least, this paper finds that strengthening trade and investment facilitation can further enhance the positive impact of digital government on technological innovation, acting as a moderating factor that amplifies this effect.
