Abstract: Abstract This paper tries to analyze the effects of information technology on the government efficiency. The study is done by using system GMM from data of 51 countries during 2003 until 2010. The results show that efficiency of government positively responds to changes in information technology expenditure whether in the government and in the total society. The findings also imply that transparency and control corruption has positive effect on efficiency of government. Furthermore, government expenditure delivers negative effect on government efficiency. The study also finds that CPI as a proxy for inflation increases significantly the efficiency of government.
