Abstract

This study aims to measure and analyze the role of electronic commerce in reducing unemployment for a sample of European Union countries, for the period (2012-2021). The study employed modern standard techniques for panel data, within the framework of static analysis using the (PR), (FEM) and (REM) models. Within the framework of the results of the static analysis, the study concluded that the fixed effects model is the appropriate model, and the main difference between these countries refers the intercept and not the random variable. The results showed that there was a negative and significant relationship between total unemployment index (UEM) and indicators of gross domestic product growth (GDP growth), web sales (WEBS) and Internet use (INTU) at significant levels ranging between 1% and 5%. While the relationship was negative and not significant (not statistically significant) with the value of e-commerce sales index (VECS). Keywords: electronic
