Do transparency mechanisms reduce government corruption; A meta-analysis 

 - International Review of Administrative Sciences  
 - 89(1), Mar, 2023: p.257-272 
<br/><br/> This article presents a meta-analysis of empirical studies to examine the role of transparency mechanisms for curbing corruption. The analysis reveals that transparency has an overall significant, though small, effect size in reducing corruption. Transparency is more effective for reducing subjective than objective corruption measures. While legal transparency mechanisms with freedom of information laws are important, fiscal transparency and e-transparency play a stronger role in fighting government corruption. Accountability and publicity add to transparency mechanisms for reducing corruption. – Reproduced
