4.3 Transparency

The third component of legitimacy, transparency, is necessary because if the public lacks access to or is unaware of the mechanism and the actions that it takes, the TC cannot/will not have an impact on society. I use two measures to test the impact of the transparency component of legitimacy. The first is a binary variable that indicates whether or not a final report was released; and the second is another binary variable that indicates whether or not public hearings were conducted. If the TC held at least one public hearing, the public hearing variable equals 1, otherwise the variable equals 0. While public hearings may vary from one TC to another, only about 20% of all TCs held public hearings, making this distinction difficult to represent. Table 4.3 lists the TCs that held public hearings.Table 4.3Public hearings
