Abstract

Studying a relatively under-researched aspect in economics, this paper examines the nexus between corruption and academic freedom. Our main hypothesis is that greater corruption undermines academic freedom and we test this hypothesis using data for 104 nations from 2012 to 2018. Our results support the main hypothesis, and this finding also generally holds across alternative aspects of academic freedom. Another contribution of this work lies in dissecting the direct and indirect (through corruption) effects of various drivers of academic freedom. Finally, additional insights are gained by considering different dimensions of academic freedom and how they are impacted by corruption.

腐败与学术自由之间的关系：对潜在联系的国际调查

本文研究了经济学中一个研究相对较少的方面，探讨了腐败与学术自由之间的关系。我们的主要假设是，更严重的腐败会破坏学术自由，我们使用2012年至2018年104个国家的数据来检验这一假设。我们的研究结果支持了主要假设，这一发现也普遍适用于学术自由的其他方面。这项工作的另一个贡献在于剖析了各种驱动学术自由的直接和间接(通过腐败)影响。最后，通过考虑学术自由的不同维度以及它们如何受到腐败的影响，我们获得了更多的见解。
