More concretely, our findings suggest that the most transparent municipalities in terms of financial and economic information, as well as information on public services contracts, tend to be more efficient. The results have been obtained for a sample of the 100 largest Spanish local governments over 2008–2014, which focuses attention on the information disclosed by local governments. eng http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacional Effciency Local goverments Transparency Data envelopment analysis Order-m Is transparency a way to improve efficiency?
