Summary/Abstract: Purpose – this study aims to determine the influence of E-government on productivity in the case of different countries comparing by income level. Research methodology – static (fixed and random) and dynamic (GMM) panel regression. Findings – a disaggregated analysis reveals that middle-income countries are driving global productivity growth by implementing ICTs infrastructure in the public sector. Research limitations – this study focuses on severe developed and developing economies; whereas each country may not benefit from E-government implementation as gains might be offset with the enormous costs of implementation. Practical implications – the government may rely more on online services in the provision of its responsibilities because it enhances the efficiency of public sectors. Originality/Value – the study is a novel measure of E-government that covers additional multiple dimensions.
