Abstract

The aims of this research are to explore and evaluate the nature of the relationship between open source software (OSS) and eGovernment maturity, as well as the factors impacting their development at a national level. The study proposes a theoretical framework, under the prism of which socio-economic, technological and institutional factors critical to eGovernment and OSS are revealed. The hypotheses are evaluated by means of an econometric model of simultaneous equations. In order to better gauge the results of the hypotheses, the model is evaluated over economic environments at different stages of development.
