The impact of e-procurement on institutional quality

We examine the contribution of e-procurement to the institutional quality. To this end, we exploit the early adoption of large-scale e-procurement platforms in three EU countries to consistently estimate the effect of procurement policy change on the institutional quality. Our identification strateg...
