Abstract

This theoretical essay addresses the quality of public spending based on the theories of Public Choice, Algorithmic Transparency and Accountability, and Management by Results. The objective is to provide a multidimensional analysis of how efficiency, transparency, and accountability in public management can be improved, using these different theoretical perspectives and applying them to the context of public administration in Brazil. The essay explores how these theories can be applied to improve efficiency, transparency, and accountability in public management, especially when there is a growing demand for public services and a limitation of financial resources.
