“…A large number of them deal with the role transparency plays in fighting corruption (e.g. Peisakhin and Pinto, 2010; Gebel, 2012; De Simone et al ., 2017; Brusca et al ., 2018; Villanueva, 2020). The link between transparency and corruption has been the most investigated topic in the last 30 years (Lyrio et al ., 2018).…”

PurposeLiterature about transparency in public-sector organizations has been attracting the attention of scholars for the last two decades. This study reviews the existing literature with the intention of creating a description of the state of the art, categorized by geographical areas, levels of government, topics, and methodologies.Design/methodology/approachThe authors have developed a structured literature review following a rigorous protocol. The initial search was launched on 25 April 2022 on Scopus and Web of Science, resulting in 3,217 articles. After removing duplicates and studies that did not meet all the inclusion criteria specified in the review protocol, the final sample includes 956 articles from 1991 to 2021.FindingsThe analyses show a considerable increase in studies since 2005, especially in the last two years, when 30% of the publications have been produced. Most of the studies analyze the national/central level of government. Many authors compare different countries, while other scholars focus on specific countries, overall, the USA and the UK. The local level of government has also been widely studied, especially in the Spanish and Chinese contexts. The most frequently used methodologies are quantitative and empirical techniques, and the most common topics are those associated with accountability.Originality/valueThis study uses a huge sample (956 articles over the period 1991–2021), which has never been used before, to examine the literature on transparency. The structured literature review facilitates the identification of gaps that can be filled by future studies. These include analyzing transparency in specific geographical areas like Africa, Asia, and Latin America, studying transparency at different levels of government, especially at the regional and federal levels, and providing comparative studies and case study collections.

“…La literatura del gobierno digital, intenta unir estos elementos. El estado de desarrollo e implementación del gobierno electrónico de un país condicionan la participación de la sociedad civil en los asuntos de transparencia (Villanueva, 2020). El aumento de la participación ciudadana tendría un impacto positivo en el control de la corrupción y una simetría entre gobierno electrónico y los índices de corrupción (Martinez y Rodríguez, 2020).…”

El presente es un artículo de revisión aborda el problema público de la corrupción, es decir, aquel que afecta a las entidades públicas. Se realizó la revisión artículos científicos realizados en distintos países, en las diferentes dimensiones que encierra este problema multidimensional. El propósito es el acercamiento y la inmersión a la producción científica realizada en los cinco últimos años para conocer cuáles son los estudios recientes y las tendencias en la investigación de la corrupción en las contrataciones públicas. Se presenta la revisión bibliográfica sistemática de artículos extraídos de diferentes revistas indexadas a bases de datos de prestigio, cuyas publicaciones son comprendidas entre el año 2017 y el año 2021. Los resultados del estudio muestran que se trata de un problema estudiado desde diferentes perspectivas, con algunos resultados contradictorios e insuficientes para explicar y entender este fenómeno político, sociocultural de alta complejidad; pero nos ha permitido concluir en la necesidad de seguir estudiándolo para generar más teoría y dar explicación científica a aquellas causas en las que subyacen las maneras de actuar y de comportarse.

“…This indicator comprises the executive's adherence to constitutional requirements, the availability of transparent laws, the strength of predictable law enforcement by bureaucracy, and rule observance in the public sector. Its value varies from 0 to 1, with a higher value resulting in more corruption control and vice versa (Villanueva, 2020). So, a system of transparent law and predictable enforcement has a positive impact on corruption control.…”

The current literature shows the ambiguous relationship between corruption and shadow economy, specifically in the case of developing countries, because most of the earlier research system on judicial corruption was not incorporated while measuring different corruption indices. This study has used dynamic judicial indicators to observe corruption control as a latent variable to contribute to an advanced analysis of the nexus between shadow economy and corruption. It has employed an unbalanced panel data of 65 developing countries from 2000-2019 to investigate this relationship empirically. Confirmatory Factor Analysis and Multiple Indicator and Multiple Causes Models are used to estimate the magnitudes and signs of various dimensions and causes of corruption control, shadow economy, and their nexus. The results of this study suggest that robust judicial indicators and a more independent judicial system significantly reduce corruption and consequently shrink the shadow economy. Thus, it supports the maxim that the shadow economy and corruption, particularly those in developing countries, are complementary while empirically contradicting the notion that the shadow economy and corruption are substitutes. This study finds a substantial and positive connection between cash holdings and labor force participation rate with shadow economic activities and also predicted an inverse relationship between GDP per capita with the shadow economy.
