Abstract

This study aims to analyze the determinants of passive public transparency in the municipalities covered by the Transparent Brazil Scale Index in the state of Minas Gerais, in 2016. The Transparent Brazil Scale Index is characterized by the situation of the passivity of the public entity, that is, waiting for a request for information to be made by the interested party. Thus, from a sample of 204 municipalities, a Tobit model is estimated, using the Transparent Brazil Scale Index, as the variable to be explained, and, as explanatory variables, the per capita Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Firjan Municipal Development Index, schooling of the population, age of the municipal manager, budget revenue per capita and dummies for the state regions: Centro, Jequitinhonha/Mucuri, Noroeste, Norte, Rio Doce, Sul and Triângulo. The results reveal a statistically significant relationship between passive public transparency and the variables GDP per capita, age of the municipal manager, Firjan Municipal Development Index, budget revenue per capita and schooling of the population. Regarding to the regional dummies, it is identified that, in general, the existing differences between the regions of the state of Minas Gerais lead to the result of the passive transparency of municipal public entities.
