Abstract

Corruption might occur in many places within the government. Information and Communication Technology (ICT) can be used to create a more open and transparent government enabling the Control of Corruption (CoC). The research presented in this paper aims to analyze the effect of ICT on CoC in open government. Using panel data of ASEAN countries over 33 years from 1984 to 2016, this study examined the data utilizing panel Auto-Regressive Distributed Lags (ARDL). The results of this study reinforce the existing literature on the positive effects of ICT on CoC. However, the assumed relationship is more complicated than often assumed. This study shows the presence of a quadratic (non-linear) inverted u-shaped relationship between the ICT development and CoC, which implies that there is no further opportunity for ICT alone to reduce corruption once a threshold is reached. ICT might even be used to facilitate corruption. Hence, ICT needs to be complemented by institutional and organizational measures and education to fight corruption.

信息通信技术对腐败控制的影响

腐败可能发生在政府内部的许多地方。信息和通信技术可用于创建一个更加开放和透明的政府，从而实现腐败控制。本文的研究旨在分析开放政府中信息通信技术对CoC的影响。本研究利用1984年至2016年东盟国家33年的面板数据，利用面板自回归分布滞后（ARDL）对数据进行了检验。这项研究的结果强化了现有关于ICT对CoC的积极影响的文献。然而，假设的关系比通常假设的更复杂。这项研究表明，信息和通信技术的发展与CoC之间存在二次（非线性）倒u型关系，这意味着一旦达到阈值，信息和通讯技术就没有进一步的机会单独减少腐败。信息和通信技术甚至可能被用来为腐败提供便利。因此，信息和通信技术需要得到体制和组织措施以及反腐败教育的补充。
