Abstract

The present paper has the objective to analyze the influence of the policy of e-government through the digital government index related to the income concentration. The theoretical connection to establish this approximation derives from the ideas of new public management and the strengthening of governance from the improvement in the flows of communication, information and interactions of the relation State-Society as a result of the implementation of the information technology in the public administration. The methodology consists of a set of panel-data regressions which considers the Gini coefficient and the digital government index, and also a number of covariates associated to the macroeconomic context in each department. The results evidence that the index is statistically significant to explain the income concentration and its inverse relation across estimations, the process of implementation of the information technology which strengthen the governance at a departmental level tend to reduce the concentration, finally the rate of occupation, inadequate employment and sector added-value tend also to reduce the phenomena of income concentration.
