This study investigates the impact of the e-government development index on reducing corruption. To analyze this relationship, we apply Hansen's (2000) threshold regression technique to data from 167 countries. The study investigates at what threshold level and to what extent e-government practices affect corruption. The empirical analysis reveals that the threshold level of e-government is 0.628, and each 0.1 unit increase above this threshold level increases the corruption index by 0.15 units, which means a reduction in the corruption level. On the other hand, e-government is not statistically significantly below the threshold value of 0.6285. In conclusion, the spread of e-government applications generally has a corruption-reducing effect, but this effect requires a certain threshold to be exceeded. Policymakers can use e-government services as an effective tool to control corruption.

Bu çalışma, e-devlet gelişmişlik endeksinin yolsuzluk endeksi üzerindeki etkisini araştırmaktadır. Bu ilişkiyi analiz etmek için 167 ülkeden elde edilen verilere Hansen'in (2000) eşik regresyon metodu uygulanmıştır. Çalışmada, e-devlet uygulamalarının yolsuzluğu hangi eşik seviyesinde ve ne ölçüde etkilediği incelenmiştir. Ampirik analiz sonuçları, e-devlet gelişmişlik endeksinin eşik değerinin 0.6285 olduğunu ve bu seviyenin üzerindeki her 0.1 birimlik artışın, yolsuzluk endeksini 0.15 birim arttırdığını göstermektedir. Öte yandan, e-devlet gelişmişlik endeksi 0.6285 eşik değerinin altında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir etki göstermemektedir. Sonuç olarak, e-devlet uygulamalarının yaygınlaşması genel olarak yolsuzluğu azaltıcı bir etkiye sahiptir, ancak bu etkinin ortaya çıkması için belirli bir seviyenin aşılması gerekmektedir. Bu bağlamda, politika yapıcılar, e-devlet hizmetlerini yolsuzluğu kontrol etmek için etkili bir araç olarak kullanabilirler.
