Abstract:
The E-readiness Layered Model (ELM) tends to cover the lack of indicators measures for the e-readines index calculation. This paper’s aim is to test the effectiveness of this model through the comparison of an ELM estimted index and a calculated index. Indeed, European I2010 indicators’ measurements database is used in this test and the comparison of data series shows a high correlation between the two indexes (Pearson and Spearman coefficients are above 0.95). Also, the two main differences between the data series are analysed in the light of two other international e-readiness initiatives (the Economist Intelligence initiative Unit one and the International Telecommunication Union one). This test shows that ELM could lead to estimate the e-readiness index using 6 indicators instead of 20 (70% less).
