520 8 In recent years, the term 'transparency' has emerged as
one of the most popular and keenly-touted concepts around.
In the economic-political debate, the principle of
transparency is often advocated as a prerequisite for
accountability, legitimacy, policy efficiency, and good
governance, as well as a universal remedy against
corruption, corporate and political scandals, financial
crises, and a host of other problems.But transparency is
more than a mere catch-phrase. Increased transparency is a
bearing ideal behind regulatory reform in many areas,
including financial reporting and banking regulation.
Individual governments as well as multilateral bodies have
launched broad-based initiatives to enhance transparency
in both economic and other policy domains. Parallel to
these developments, the concept of transparency has seeped
its way into academic research in a wide range of social
science disciplines,including the economic sciences.This
increased importance of transparency in economics and
business studies has called for a reference work that
surveys existing research on transparency and explores its
meaning and significance in different areas. The Oxford
Handbook of Economic and Institutional Transparency is
such a reference. Comprised of authoritative yet
accessible contributions by leading scholars, this
Handbook addresses questions such as: What is
transparency? What is the rationale for transparency?
Whatare the determinants and the effects of transparency?
And is transparency always beneficial, or can it also be
detrimental (if so, when)?The chapters are presented in
three sections that correspond to three broad themes. The
first section addresses transparency in different areas of
economic policy. The second section covers institutional
transparency and explores the role of transparency in
market integration and regulation. Finally, the third
section focuses on corporate transparency. Taken together,
this volume offers an up-to-date account of existing work
on and approaches to transparency in economic research,
discusses openquestions, and provides guidance for future
research, all from a blend of disciplinary perspectives.
