Abstract

E-government is an emerging concept of new technology for the provision of services to the public resulting in increase in transparency and efficiency. Political stability means the stability and peaceful conditions of politics and government. Happiness is the state of mind in which a person is away from negativity and is full of satisfaction and well being. The basic purpose of this study is to check the impact of e-government and political stability on the level of happiness of people in the presence of two control variables, literacy rate and GDP growth. For research purpose, data is collected from ASEAN countries for 29 years from reliable resources. For research purpose, several techniques and tests are used such as panel unit root test, panel cointegration test, coefficient estimation test, Granger casualty test etc. As the consequence of these tests, the impact of e-government and political stability as well as the control variable, GDP growth on happiness level of people are accepted while the impact of a control variable, literacy rate are rejected. This study has several benefits and implications related to theoretical, practical and policy making benefits for the future researchers, citizens of a country and the government as well.
