• What happens when transparency meets blame-avoidance? (2007, background): “For instance, David Heald ( 2003 , 2006 ) contrasts event transparency (open information about inputs, outputs and outcomes) and process transparency (open information about the transformations that take place between inputs, outputs and outcomes).”
• The Consequences of Fiscal Decentralization on Poverty and Income Equality (2011, methodology): “In particular, we tried to construct items to go beyond nominal fiscal transparency to measure effective transparency, as well (Heald 2003, 2006).”
• Citizen Attitudes Toward Transparency in Local Government (2007, background): “…Administration There is a growing body of literature focusing on freedom of information, secrecy practices, and governmental transparency policies (Alt, Lassen, & Skilling, 2002; Cooper, 1986; Feinberg, 1997; Heald, 2003; Hoffman, 1981; Piotrowski & Rosenbloom, 2002; Relyea, 1979; Roberts, 2000).”
• Citizens, legislators, and executive disclosure: the political determinants of fiscal transparency (2013, background): “Some authors highlight potential limits of fiscal transparency (Heald, 2003; Kolstad & Wiig, 2009), but on balance there is exceptionally strong agreement on the content and desirability of transparent budgetary practices (Petrie, 2003).”
• Budget Transparency in Local Governments: An Empirical Analysis (2013, methodology): “In particular, we tried to construct items to go beyond nominal fiscal transparency to measure effective transparency, as well (Heald 2003, 2006).”
• Why is transparency about public expenditure so elusive? (2012, background): “‘Missing users’ constitute a fundamental obstacle to the achievement and maintenance through time of high standards of effective fiscal transparency, with heavy dependence on ‘information brokers’ (Heald, 2003).”
