Abstract:
The paper deals with the influence of electronization on the reduction of
corruption in public administration. According to a number of studies, corruption in
public administration has an impact on a wide range of taxpayers. They may feel the
consequences of corrupt behaviour, for example in the form of tax and price increases
or poor quality of service. For this reason, corruption is considered one of the most
serious problems as it affects a large part of society. A number of empirical studies
have shown that one of the ways to limit corruption is the electronization of public
administration. For analysis, a group of 113 countries from all over the world were
used, regardless of their geographical jurisdiction or political establishment. The time
period is from 2003 to 2017. In order to fulfil the goal, the graphical interpretation of
Bag plots and linear regression analysis is used to assess the impact of selected
variables on the level of corruption. The multidimensional regression model has
confirmed the positive effect of electronization. However, the most significant effect on
the level of corruption in the country had the performance of the economy in the
examined period and selected set of countries.
