Abstract

This paper analyses the factors that influenced the freedom of information in Spanish municipalities and which explain the levels of information disclosure. A dynamic panel System General Method of Moments (System-GMM) estimation was used to analyses data from 100 Spanish largest municipalities for the period of 2008-2014. The analysis indicates that disclosure of information about municipal management is associated with financial dependence, internet access, unemployment, electoral turnout and political rivalry.
