The co-evolution of ICT, skills and organization in public administrations: Evidence from new European country-level data

During the past two decades a big effort has been made in exploring the complementarities between information and communications technology (ICT) adoption, investment in human capital and organizational change, and how these affect economic performance. Such investigations, however, remain substantially circumscribed to private sectors, while the role of these factors in public sector performance has been largely disregarded.
