政府清廉度历来是世界各国政府和公民关注的问题,作为新公共管理运动与现代通信技术相结合产生的电子政务,为改善政府的清廉度提供了新思路和新手段。然而世界范围内的电子政务运动是否有效提高了各国政府的清廉度,还缺乏相应的实证研究结果支持。本文运用了来自国际透明和联合国的相关数据,对126个国家和地区四年的数据进行了实证研究,发现无论是反映电子政务静态发展特征的电子政务就绪指数,还是反映电子政务动态发展的电子参与度,都没有对政府清廉度产生统计显著影响。说明目前世界电子政务的整体水平仍然处于起步阶段,在这一时期必要条件是在电信基础方面的大量和持续性投入,在此基础上,更重要的工作是系统化的制度改革与跟进。
