Abstract

In this paper, we aim at evaluating from an economic perspective the recent Italian regulation on transparency to investigate whether the potentialities of transparency as a tool to foster accountability and improve the performance of public administrations, are fully exploited. We try to answer the following question: is the degree of transparency somehow related with its performance? Is it likely that municipalities with a better performance are also more transparent? Using large Italian municipalities as a case study, some preliminary hints are obtained from the joint analysis of a new transparency indicator built by Galli et al. (2017) and the performance indicators provided by SOSE.
