Electronic government (e-government) has become one of the most evolving and important applications of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in recent years.

Many developing countries were facing difficulties in applying successful e-government projects due to different electronic readiness (e-readiness) problems, such as poor ICT infrastructure and a high percentage of digital illiteracy among Citizens that hav

Development is an essential need for any society. ICT can be considered as important contributing factor towards this development. Utilising ICT activities for development requires several factors to be taken into account such as preparing technical infrastructures and developing human resources.

The dissertation aims at broadening our understanding of tax evasion and government spending in developing countries. It comprises three essays. The first essay deals with estimation of tax evasion in a cross-section of developing countries by estimating their underground economies using the currency demand method.

Electronic government (e-government) was established as an effective mechanism for increasing government productivity and efficiency and a key enabler for citizen-centric services.

Both governments and academic researchers recognise the problem of low-level adoption of e-government services among citizens; a common problem in both developed and developing countries.
