Resumo(s)
In this paper, we aim at evaluating from an economic perspective the recent Italian legislation on
transparency to investigate whether the potentialities of transparency as a tool to improve
performance and integrity are fully exploited. We first construct a synthetic indicator (CTI) consisting
of two sub-indicators, CTI Integrity and CTI Performance, which are able to describe in numerical
terms the overall degree of transparency of Italian public administrations as well as the two different
aspects of the public activity’s transparency. Then, using as a sample of Italian municipalities, we
address the question whether there is a relation between the fulfillment of transparency obligations
and both the institutional quality and the performance of the public administration activity. Our
preliminary results suggest that our transparency indicators show a satisfactory correlation with
widely used measures of the quality of institutions as well as with the official data on municipalities
public spending performance.
