The growing demand for transparency and accountability on the part of citizens has positioned governmental electronic portals as crucial elements in the promotion of democracy and citizen participation. Mexico has devised an approach to assess the transparency of State Transparency Portals, yielding an annual indicator and ranking. The objective of this paper is to examine the influence of economic and political factors on the level of transparency of the governmental portals of the 32 Mexican states. After performing the relevant econometric analyses and the necessary tests to ensure the reliability and robustness of the results, it was found that factors such as population density, debt, unemployment and fiscal effort have a significant impact on transparency. States with a higher debt burden are more transparent and higher unemployment rates hinder government transparency. Several recommendations are offered to promote government transparency, strengthen accountability and improve the position of states in the ranking of State Transparency Portals.

揭示透明度：对墨西哥州级透明度门户网站的综合研究


公民对透明度和问责制的需求日益增长，使政府电子门户成为促进民主和公民参与的关键要素。墨西哥设计了一种评估国家透明度门户网站透明度的方法，产生年度指标和排名。本文的目的是研究经济和政治因素对墨西哥 32 个州政府门户网站透明度的影响。在进行相关计量经济学分析和必要的测试以确保结果的可靠性和稳健性后，发现人口密度、债务、失业和财政努力等因素对透明度有显着影响。债务负担较高的国家更加透明，而失业率较高则阻碍了政府透明度。提出了几项建议，以提高政府透明度、加强问责制并提高各州在国家透明度门户网站排名中的地位。
