Institutional Quality and the Uneven Digitalization of Public Administration: A Comparative Panel Analysis of OECD Governments, 2010–2024
Description
This replication package contains the balanced panel dataset and analytical scripts supporting the research article titled "Institutional Quality and the Uneven Digitalization of Public Administration: A Comparative Panel Analysis of OECD Governments, 2010–2024". The dataset covers 38 OECD member economies across 8 biennial survey waves (2010–2024, N = 304 observations), integrating the United Nations E-Government Development Index (EGDI) with the World Bank Worldwide Governance Indicators (WGI: Government Effectiveness, Regulatory Quality, Rule of Law, and Control of Corruption). The package includes the raw/processed panel data files (.csv/.xlsx) and the complete, reproducible Python/Stata econometric scripts used to produce descriptive statistics, two-way fixed effects regressions with Driscoll-Kraay standard errors, between-effects models, and Method of Moments Quantile Regression (MMQR) estimates.
