“…Studies in this respect have reported that transparency is positively associated with political competition [87], the level of education among the population [82], Internet access [24] and average disposable income [87]. However, while some authors believe that municipalities with lower levels of transparency present higher rates of unemployment [16,24], others reached the opposite conclusion [82].…”

In the current socioeconomic context, the question of local government sustainability transparency is of great interest to policymakers, managers, citizens and other stakeholders, and yet one to which previous research has devoted little specific attention. At the same time, the Internet has become an instrument of good governance worldwide and government entities in Europe have strived to promote e-government to improve transparency towards citizens. The aim of this study was to identify factors that can help politicians and managers improve practices of sustainability information disclosed by European local governments. To do so, an empirical study was conducted of 91 municipalities in nine countries, comparing three main administrative cultures. Our analysis of the study results highlights various demographic, socioeconomic, financial and legal factors that may be useful to policymakers and managers in promoting the online provision of sustainability information in Anglo-Saxon, Nordic and Southern European countries.

“…On the one hand, papers focusing on within country fiscal transparency and its determinants, based on regional or local data (looking at recently released studies, Spanish data were analyzed by: Esteller-Moré and Polo Otero (2012); Gandía and Archidona (2008); García and García-García (2010); Guillamón, Bastida, and Benito (2011);Sol (2013), U.S. State-level data were considered by James E. Alt et al (2006); Chinese data were investigated by Deng, Peng, and Wang (2013); New Zealand data were taken into account by Laswad, Fisher, and Oyelere (2005); Brazilian States were analyzed in Zuccolotto and Teixeira (2014)). On the other hand, country-level analyses (among those recently released: Andreula and Chong (2015); de Renzio and Angemi (2012); Harrison and Sayogo (2014); Ríos et al (2014); Wehner and de Renzio (2013), which are definitely less widespread.…”

“…Majority of empirical analyses that investigate fiscal transparency determinants and effects use Open Budget Survey (OBS) data in order to measure transparency (de Renzio & Angemi, 2012;Harrison & Sayogo, 2014;Ríos et al, 2014;Wehner & de Renzio, 2013).…”

“…The investigation of the sources of such an heterogeneity, indeed, motivated a number of researches devoted to the identification of the determinants of fiscal transparency. Nevertheless, most of the existing empirical literature on this topic is based on cross-sectional (James E. Alt, Lassen, & Rose, 2006;Andreula & Chong, 2015;Bastida & Benito, 2007;Harrison & Sayogo, 2014;Ríos, Bastida, & Benito, 2014;Tejedo-Romero & de Araujo, 2015;Wehner & de Renzio, 2013) data and this definitely complicates the identification of determinants of fiscal transparency.…”

Budget participation has an important role especially in the local government. A higher motivation and commitment will created through budget participation in order improving performance. This study uses a structural equation modeling approach to investigate the influence of information asymmetry and leader member exchange on budget participation to managerial performance by using goal commitment and ambiguity role as mediation variables, in Working Units, Magelang Municipality Government, Central Java. Based on a questionnaire survey of 101 local government officials involved in budget preparation, we find that information asymmetry has a positive effect on budget participation. The commitment on goals mediates the relationship between budget participation and managerial performance. Otherwise budget participation has no effect on managerial performance through role ambiguity. This study also find that leader member exchange has no effect on budget participation. Temuan empiris Jermias dan Yigit (2013) menunjukkan ambiguitas peran dan komitmen tujuan memediasi hubungan partisipasi anggaran dan kinerja managerial. Sedangkan asimetri informasi tidak berpengaruh terhadap partisipasi anggaran.
