本文探讨了提高投标人资格审查过程中的透明度的影响，使用市政公共工程拍卖的案例研究中获得的经验。差异中的差异分析表明，提高透明度可将采购成本降低8%。这一发现对于内分泌和样品选择性的关注是稳健的。投标函数的估计，结合日本采购制度的特点，意味着引入透明的做法是不够的，以实现公共采购的效率。
This paper examines the effect of improved transparency in the bidder qualification process, using the experience gained from a case study of municipal public works auctions. A difference-in-differences analysis reveals that improved transparency reduces procurement cost by up to 8%. This finding is robust with regard to the concerns of both endogeneity and sample selectivity. The bidding-function estimates, combined with features of Japanese procurement system, imply that the introduction of transparent practices is insufficient to bring about efficiency in public procurement.
