Sažetak
Economic and Information and Communication Technology (ICT) development result with an increase of Internet purchases by individuals in countries all over Europe, and so it is true for South-Eastern European countries, too. In this paper recent dynamics of Internet purchases in selected countries is described, and afterwards the regression analysis based on selected independent variables in 2011 is conducted. The official World Bank and Eurostat data are used. The best fitted regression models are tested for diagnostics, and discussed in details. A multiple linear regression model shows that the variable individual`s computer skills, indicating ICT development level, is statistically significant for explaining the Internet purchases by individuals, confirming the first research hypothesis. Correlation and regression analysis confirmed the second research hypothesis that the Internet purchases in analyzed countries is positively correlated with statistically significant economic development indicator Gross Domestic Product per capita in Purchasing Power Parities (GDP per capita in PPS). Cluster analysis based on Euclidean squared distances and Ward linkage shows the clusters of similar countries.
