Fiscal Transparency

Abstract: Quality of governance is a key for political accountability, hence, the importance of identifying its determinants. Here, we focus on one dimension of quality of governance: fiscal transparency. Drawing on a sample of 691 Catalan municipalities (2001-7), we estimate the factors determining levels of budgetary transparency. Political competition and decentralization are the most important determinants of fiscal transparency. By contrast, budgetary variables do not appear to play any role.

“…A transparência fiscal, de acordo com Kopits e Craig (1998), diz respeito à disponibilidade de informações para o público sobre a estrutura e as funções do governo relacionadas à política fiscal, contas do setor público e projeções para que possam avaliar a situação financeira do governo, os custos e benefícios das atividades governamentais, incluindo suas implicações econômicas e sociais. A transparência fiscal não se limita ao fornecimento de informações sobre o orçamento público, mas sim, dedica-se à disponibilização de informações detalhadas sobre todos os aspectos relacionados à arrecadação e utilização de recursos públicos, incluindo as obrigações financeiras, os ativos e passivos públicos (Esteller-Moré & Otero, 2012;Ganapati, Cid, & Reddick, 2019;Heald, 2003).
