Description
Summary:Several studies prove that e-government is a tool that facilitates transactions and the exchange of information digitally between the public administration and citizens, minimizing the probability of corrupt acts. However, this issue has been little studied for the case of Mexico. This paper analyzes the impact of the dissemination of information and transactions through e-government on the National Corruption and Good Governance Index for 2005-2010 at the State and the Federal District levels. Results indicate that the impact of e-government has been significant, but modest. These data enrich the discussion on the changes required to alleviate the problem of corruption in the country.
