Abstract

Abstract This article is a contribution to the ‘know your data’ approach to the issue of measuring corruption, in two specific areas: the impact of the way questions are formulated on the results of surveys on corruption perception; and the potential pitfalls of using businesspeople as expert respondents in surveys measuring corruption. The article first presents and analyses the sources of two most frequently used indicators to measure corruption perceptions – the Corruption Perception Index and the Control of Corruption, one of the Worldwide Governance Indicators. Based on this analysis, hypotheses are posed on how the formulation of the questions will influence the out-comes of surveys, and what differences there will be between studies conducted on the general public and businesspeople. These are tested using data obtained from two original survey experiments conducted concurrently, one on a representative sample of the public and another on businesspeople.
专家与问题:探讨对腐败的看法
摘要本文在两个具体领域对衡量腐败问题的“了解你的数据”方法做出了贡献:问题的表述方式对腐败认知调查结果的影响;以及在衡量腐败的调查中使用商人作为专家受访者的潜在陷阱。本文首先介绍并分析了衡量腐败认知的两个最常用指标的来源——腐败认知指数和全球治理指标之一的腐败控制。基于这一分析,我们提出了一些假设,即问题的表述将如何影响调查结果,以及对公众和商界人士进行的研究之间会有什么差异。这些都是使用从同时进行的两个原始调查实验中获得的数据进行测试的,一个是对公众的代表性样本,另一个是商人。
