ECONOMIC IMPACTS OF ICT IMPLEMENTATION IN PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION: EVIDENCE FROM THE CZECH REPUBLIC

The paper deals with an analysis of economic impacts of ICT implementation within the public administration, which is called e-Government. The current situation in the Czech Republic is discussed using data about particular implemented tools, such as the contact points of public administration, data mailboxes or basic registries of public administration and more. In the paper there are evaluated impacts of these projects not only on public administration and public sector, but on the overall economic environment of the state including discussion of the rate of bureaucratic burden, transparency of the legal system or cyberspace security. In spite of the fact that a number of significant e-Government projects has been already implemented in the Czech Republic, there is still unused potential of other projects, whose adaptation could have positive economic impacts.
