摘要

本文以西班牙110个最大城市为样本，实证研究了地方政府透明度与政治腐败之间的因果关系。在实施两阶段概率估计程序后，我们的证据表明，透明度与地方政治腐败的可能性呈反比。这一结果支持了这样一种假设，即缺乏透明度掩盖了腐败活动，不愿意提供信息是腐败可能性的良好代表。

Transparency and local government corruption: what does lack of transparency hide?

This paper empirically investigates the causal relationship between local government transparency and political corruption in a sample of Spain's 110 largest municipalities. After implementing a two-stage probit estimation procedure, our evidence indicates that transparency is inversely related to the likelihood of local political corruption. This result supports the hypothesis that a lack of transparency conceals corrupt activities and that an unwillingness to provide information is a good proxy of the likelihood of corruption.
