摘要

先前的研究表明，腐败降低了公民的政治支持和参与水平。我们扩展了这条推理路线，并评估了以前的腐败程度是否会影响后来的政治知识水平。我们用2016年至2017年间在智利进行的两波面板概率调查的数据来检验这一命题，就在两年前，一连串的腐败丑闻震惊了智利。我们的估计证实，感知到的腐败减少了随后的政治知识，同时控制了先前的知识。这种模式在非理论家和在意识形态上与现任政府相距甚远的人中尤为强烈。鉴于政治知识作为民主价值特征的地位，我们的研究结果揭示了腐败的一些规范性的令人不安的后果。

Corruption and Political Knowledge Erosion. A Cautionary Tale from Latin America

Previous research has shown that corruption diminishes citizens’ level of political support and engagement. We extend this line of reasoning and evaluate whether previous levels of perceived corruption can influence subsequent levels of political knowledge. We test this proposition with data from a two-wave panel probability survey applied in Chile between 2016 and 2017, just after a 2-year period in which an avalanche of corruption scandals shook the country. Our estimates confirm that perceived corruption reduces subsequent political knowledge, while controlling for prior knowledge. This pattern is particularly strong among non-ideologues and people ideologically distant from the incumbent government. Given the status of political knowledge as a democratically valuable trait, our results uncover some normatively disturbing consequences of corruption.
