Özet
Most of the empirical studies on the determinants of citizen participation in budget processes have been conducted at a local level. This study aims to empirically analyze the potential factors that determine citizen participation in national budget processes. The factors affecting citizen participation in national budget processes have been reviewed using the panel data method, with the data about the years 2011, 2014, 2016, and 2018 of 93 countries included in the Open Budget Survey (OBS) 2012. The factors affecting citizen participation have been addressed under two main titles: socio-economic and institutional-political factors. In terms of socio-economic factors, the empirical findings in the model demonstrate that citizen participation in national budget processes increases as the level of education increases. Furthermore, the findings reveal that citizen participation decreases as the proportion of the elderly within the total population increases. In terms of institutional-political factors, on the other hand, an increase in the level of budget transparency is observed to have a positive impact on citizen participation. Similarly, the analysis results indicate that the level of e-participation positively affects citizen participation in budget processes. It has been concluded that the freedom of association and assembly also has a positive impact on citizen participation in budget processes. On the other hand, the findings demonstrate that an increased level of corruption leads to decreased citizen participation in national budget processes.
Abstract
Most of the empirical studies on the determinants of citizen participation in budget processes have been conducted at a local level. This study aims to empirically analyze the potential factors that determine citizen participation in national budget processes.

The factors affecting citizen participation have been addressed under two main titles: socio-economic and institutional-political factors. In terms of socio-economic factors, the empirical findings in the model demonstrate that citizen participation in national budget processes increases as the level of education increases. Furthermore, the findings reveal that citizen participation decreases as the proportion of the elderly within the total population increases. In terms of institutional-political factors, on the other hand, an increase in the level of budget transparency is observed to have a positive impact on citizen participation. Similarly, the analysis results indicate that the level of e-participation positively affects citizen participation in budget processes. It has been concluded that the freedom of association and assembly also has a positive impact on citizen participation in budget processes.
