Abstract

Abstract Does digitalization reduce corruption? What are the integrity benefits of government digitalization? While the correlation between digitalization and corruption is well established, there is less actionable evidence on the integrity dividends of specific digitalization reforms on different types of corruption and the policy channels through which they operate. These linkages are especially relevant in high corruption risk environments. This article unbundles the integrity dividends of digital reforms undertaken by governments around the world, accelerated by the pandemic. It analyzes the rise of data-driven integrity analytics as promising tools in the anticorruption space deployed by tech-savvy integrity actors. It also assesses the broader integrity benefits of the digitalization of government services and the automation of bureaucratic processes, which contribute to reducing bribe solicitation risks by front-office bureaucrats. It analyzes in particular the impact of digitalization on social transfers. It argues that government digitalization can be an implicit yet effective anticorruption strategy, with subtler yet deeper effects, but there needs to be greater synergies between digital reforms and anticorruption strategies.

政府科技反腐:政府数字化的廉洁红利是什么?
数字化能减少腐败吗?政府数字化的诚信效益是什么?虽然数字化与腐败之间的相关性已经确立,但关于具体数字化改革对不同类型腐败的廉洁红利及其运作的政策渠道的可操作性证据较少。这些联系在高腐败风险环境中尤为重要。本文揭示了全球各国政府进行的数字化改革带来的诚信红利,疫情加速了这一改革。它分析了数据驱动的完整性分析作为由精通技术的完整性参与者部署的反腐败领域的有前途的工具的兴起。它还评估了政府服务数字化和官僚程序自动化对更广泛的廉洁效益,这有助于降低前台官僚的索贿风险。它特别分析了数字化对社会转移支付的影响。报告认为,政府数字化可以成为一种隐性而有效的反腐败战略,具有微妙而深刻的影响,但数字化改革与反腐败战略之间需要更大的协同效应。
