“…This effect of DECENT-VITRUAL is consistent with other findings in the literature with other corruption measures and/or sample of nations (i.e., Andersen 2009, Choi 2014, Kim 2014. Remarkably, the elasticity of corruption with respect to DECENT-VITRUAL is similar in magnitude to the elasticity of the shadow economy with respect to e-government (-0.9 in both cases).…”

Using corruption and the shadow economy to proxy for institutional quality, as well as three forms of government decentralization (i.e., virtual, physical, and fiscal), the econometric results show virtual decentralization to be the most effective in improving institutional quality. The effects on transition and countries in Asia are also considered.

“…Although it is not obvious whether politicians are using Twitter for outreach or transparency (Chi and Yang, 2010;Felten, 2009;Golbeck, Grimes, and Rogers, 2010), the role of Twitter represents a shift away from traditional government operations towards so-called E-Government. Perhaps the strongest motivation for E-Government is a recent study by Andersen (2009), which …nds that the corruption index is typically lower for countries who employ E-Government practices.…”

We study the early adoption of Twitter in the 111th House of Representatives. Our main objective is to determine whether successes of past adopters have the tendency to speed up Twitter adoption, where past success is de…ned as the average followers per Tweet (i.e. "Twitter clout") among all prior adopters. The data suggests that accelerated adoption can be associated with favorable past outcomes: increasing the average number of followers per Tweet among past adopters by a standard deviation (of 8 followers per Tweet) accelerates the adoption time by about 112 days. This acceleration e¤ect is weaker for those who already have adopted Facebook and those who have access to information about a large number of past adopters. We later …nd a strong relationship between an adopter's realized followers per Tweet, and the success of adopters preceding him/her. Thus, there may exist bene…ts associated with adopting Twitter based on past successes of others.

“…Government transparency generally occurs through one of four primary channels, proactive dissemination by the government; release of requested materials by the government; public meetings; and leaks from whistleblowers (Anderson, 2009). Countries that embrace transparency tend to produce more information than other governments and are more likely to share this information.…”

Article InfoICTs can basically reduce corruption by promoting good governance, strengthening reform-oriented initiatives, reducing potential for corrupt behaviors, enhancing relationships between government employees and citizens, allowing for citizen tracking of activities, and by monitoring and controlling behaviors of government employees. There are wide ranges of nation's modules with various technology infrastructures which have created numerous procurement, tracking, anti-corruption, and other systems that can assist national and state governments engage in transparent government activities.
