Abstract

ABSTRACT The end of the Suharto era in 1998 brought two prominent reforms to Indonesia: (i) a raft of anti-corruption policies and (ii) decentralisation of administrative and fiscal functions. District-level reported corruption swelled in following years and the role of decentralisation came under scrutiny, but data limitations prevented direct examination of a contributing role. This paper combines perceived and reported (observed) regional measures of corruption to examine spatiotemporal corruption patterns across Indonesian districts post-decentralisation. That period saw both improvements in perceptions measures and increases in the reported number of convicted perpetrators and in the reported value of financial loss. Cross-sectional comparisons show corruption perceptions (i) were milder in districts with less reported incidents of corruption, and (ii) responded positively to efforts by the judiciary and law enforcement agencies to curb corruption. These findings suggest that increased capability and resources allocated to combatting corruption play a large role in determining corruption perceptions.

权力下放后印尼腐败蔓延的时空分析

1998年苏哈托时代的结束给印尼带来了两项重大改革:(1)一系列反腐败政策和(2)行政和财政职能的分散。在接下来的几年里，地区一级的腐败举报激增，权力下放的作用受到了审查，但数据的限制阻止了对促成作用的直接审查。本文结合感知和报告的(观察到的)区域腐败措施来研究印度尼西亚地区分权后的时空腐败模式。在这一时期，人们对犯罪行为的看法有所改善，所报告的被定罪罪犯人数和所报告的经济损失价值也有所增加。横断面比较显示:(1)举报贪污事件较少的地区对贪污的看法较温和，以及(2)对司法和执法机构遏止贪污的努力反应积极。这些发现表明，反腐败能力和资源的增加在决定腐败观念方面发挥着重要作用。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
