XBRL development in Europe: identifying explanatory factors
Ignacio Boixo and Enrique Bonsón, XBRL Spain
April 21st, 2010
• Level of development of XBRL
• Hypotheses and explanatory variables
• The model
XBRLXBRL developmentdevelopment
The following 6 sequential steps of XBRL jurisdiction development can be identified:
• Without formal structure: step 0
• Provisional Jurisdiction: step 1
• Permanent Jurisdiction: step 2
• National Taxonomies: step 3
• Public XBRL reports available: step 4
• Public XBRL reports successfully exploited: step 5
DummyYes =0No =1
This allows each country to be classified from Y=0 to Y=5
Additional information for the analysis
ExplanatoryExplanatory variablesvariables
Some of the explanatory factors, at the country level, that can be explored:
• Economic wealth• Level of education• Level of usage of ICTs • Style of government/administration
ListingListing ofof HypothesesHypotheses
• H1: Economic wealth of a country positively influence XBRL development since more resources are available for the implementation of the jurisdiction.
• H2 + H3: Levels of education and usage of ICTs positively influence XBRL development through the availability of more and better qualified human resources for the implementation of the jurisdiction.
• H4: The country’s category, within the EU, that reflects a particular differentiated style of public administration in its governmental agencies, makes the country’s level of XBRL development significantly different.
HypothesizedHypothesized relationshipsrelationships
a) As stated by Siau and Long, 2006, the economic situation of a country can influence its ability to adopt particular e-government initiatives.
b) Kim, 2007,explains that prior technological and educational development is a prerequisite for the implementation of IT.
c) Pina et al. (2009 divided the EU-15 into categories defined by a specific style of administration. In our opinion, this framework can be applied to the EU-27 grouping as an additional explanatory factor to be explored, by adding a new category for eastern countries.

Data provided by EUROSTAT
• Country GDP per capita
• GDP per capita (purchasing parity power) for the year 2009,
• Levels of education
• Tertiary/further education graduates (per 1 000 of population aged 20-29).
• Level of usage of ICTs
• Measured using Gross domestic expenditure on R&D (%) as a proxy

PresentingPresenting thethe modelmodel
If the variable to be explained, the level of development of XBRL, presents only a positive value (0 to 5), then the appropriate statistical technique for analyzing the data and the hypotheses is the TOBIT regression model, proposed by James Tobin (1958), also called “censored data regression”.
Feature of Model:
• Left censored 0, right censored 5.
