Transparencia omnicomprensiva y política redistributiva

The paper applies the concept of comprehensive transparency to evaluate redistributive public policies, using the Ministry of Human Capital of Argentina as a case study. The analysis integrates approaches from institutional theory, principal-agent theory, cooperative games, and decision theory, along with literature on redistributive policies, to define transparency as a multidimensional process involving form, means, and citizen feedback. The case study shows progress in the provision of justification and reinterpretation information, but highlights weaknesses in the declaration of constraints, risk management, and citizen participation. These findings reveal a persistent tension between governmental discretion and control, emphasizing the need for a balance that avoids both arbitrariness and excessive control costs. The paper concludes that the comprehensive transparency framework is useful for evaluating institutional performance in this area.
