“…These results are consistent with those obtained by Pina et al (2007), Caba et al (2008), Gandía and Archidona (2008) and Serrano et al (2009). The presence of corruption is inversely associated with compliance with online information disclosure obligations, as we hypothesized, and corroborating the results obtained by Pina et al (2010) and Relly and Cuillier (2010). Thus, Central American local governments with higher levels of corruption are less willing to disclose online information, preferring a policy of reticence.…”

“…Once the corresponding laws have been adopted, the provision of information and communication technology (ICT) infrastructure is an important factor in their implementation (Relly and Cuillier, 2010). The online disclosure of public information requires not only political will but also technological resources.…”

The aim of this paper is to develop the findings of previous research on policies regarding online proactive information disclosure, both voluntary and mandatory. We present and analyze new evidence on the factors that influence decisions taken in this respect. This study is focused on Central America, a region that has received little previous research attention on these issues. To achieve the study goals, we analyze the online information disclosure made by local authorities, regarding both the degree of compliance with legal requirements and the volume of information provided voluntarily. Finally, with respect to the same two types of information provision, we determine the influence of environmental factors on online information disclosure. The results obtained show that transparency is more an issue of attitude than of laws, and highlight the existence of a large gap between legal requirements and actual performance.

“…While a number of studies have noted the positive effects of open government, few have considered what enhances the RTI, especially from a cross‐national perspective. There are only a handful of local‐level (del Sol ; Grimmelikhuijsen and Welch ), global‐level (Relly and Cuillier ; Relly and Sabharwal ), and comparative (Hazell and Worthy ) empirical studies on the RTI. Yet even these studies abstained from statistical RTI assessments, focusing instead on evaluating the readiness of legal mechanisms.…”

This study examines the influence of legal arrangements (freedom of information legislation), technological advancements (e‐government), and administrative capacity (government effectiveness) on the right to information with a cross‐country view. To that end, it uses various global indicators. A regression‐based analysis reveals that legal guarantees and e‐government do not significantly influence the extent to which the right to information is realised. Freedom of information legislation can offer legal guarantees for the right to information; however, the outcomes in terms of the right to information have not yet been reached for many new adopters of the legislation. While the contribution of e‐government to the right to information is also insignificant, a government's administrative capacity is pivotal to achieving the right to information.
