Governance, quality of life and city performance: A study based on artificial intelligence

The purpose of this study is to analyse the joint influence of several good governance variables (e-government, transparency and reputation) and quality of life (QoL) on the performance of Spanish cities. Using objective data with a time lag, this study employed artificial intelligence (AI) and the...
