“…Korupční situace obou států zůstala obdobná i v roce následujícím (Transparency International 2018a, 2018b). Index vnímání korupce ovšem reflektuje pouze vnímaní korupce u businessmanů a expertů, nikoliv u občanů jednotlivých zemí (Lin, Yu 2014). Právě z toho důvodu je v článku pracováno výhradně s daty na individuální úrovni, ve snaze zachytit pohled jednotlivců na korupci, resp.…”

Corruption is a very frequent term in scientific literature. While negative corruption generally affects the economic development of the country or market and impacts people's trust in individuals and institutions, the relationship between corruption and political participation remains unclear. On the one hand, there is a theoretical argument that corruption discourages political participation and by its nature excludes citizens from the political process. On the other hand, there is a theoretical assertion that, on the contrary, it leads to political participation in which a voter has the opportunity to replace a corrupt politician in the elections. In most cases, research on corruption and political participation is limited to the perception of corruption on the one hand and voter turnout on the other. However, both corruption and political participation can take many forms. The article therefore distinguishes between three forms of corruption and examines their impact not only on participation in elections, but also on political meetings, community meetings and protests. Logistic regression analysis is performed and eight regression models are constructed. The research is focused on two South American countries-Venezuela and Chile. Due to the case selection, the article uses data on an individual level from the Latin American Public Opinion Project. The conclusions are that while the perception of corruption discourages political participation in both countries, experience of corruption in Venezuela, a country in which every fifth citizen encounters bribery, on the contrary leads to political mobilization. This contrasts with Chile, where this variable was not statistically significant at all.

“…Lancaster and Montinola () argue that firm surveys represent perceptions of corruption in national capitals and in large metropolitan areas, whereas experiences elsewhere in a county may differ significantly. In East and Southeast Asia, notable gaps have been found between citizen perceptions and expert perceptions of corruption (Lin & Yu, ). Conversely, Charron () concludes that expert‐based perception measures and citizen reports of experience with corruption are strongly related in Europe (Charron, ).…”

“…The CPI scores for democracies and full democracies, on the other hand, actually increase by 1%. 7 These findings are important because Transparency International's CPI scores are commonly used to study open and closed regimes (e.g., Lin & Yu, 2014;Rose-Ackerman, 1999;Wu, 2005).…”

Exaggerating good governance: Regime type and score inflation among executive survey informants

et al. 2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Researchers and policymakers often rely on executive surveys to understand and promote good governance. In doing so, they assume that the evaluations provided by these well‐informed respondents are not systematically influenced by regime type. However, regime‐embedded executives often have a personal stake in the survey outcomes, incentivizing them to exaggerate good governance. This paper compares World Economic Forum Executive Opinion Survey responses to corollary measures of key governance concepts in democracies, anocracies, and autocracies. It finds evidence of significant score inflation among executives in closed regimes. The individual‐level mechanisms are explored in one autocracy by comparing responses from regime‐embedded informants based at firms headquartered within the country with those managing businesses headquartered abroad. These micro‐level data likewise reveal evidence of widespread inflation, particularly on items related to governance. Finally, a closer look at Transparency International's Corruption Perceptions Index demonstrates the broader impact Executive Opinion Survey inflation for measuring governance within closed regimes.

“…It may be cost-effective or more reliable to rely on expert assessments, as in producing comparative information about political liberties concerning countries whose official -"objective" -statistics are lacking or not credible. While such methods may bring other types of bias into the analyses (Lin and Yu 2014), these can be minimized with various procedures including detailed coding rules, intercoder assessment procedures and public access to disaggregated data.…”

“…The special issue contributes to comparative policy analysis by analyzing places of politics in and behind the most familiar measurements that feature in many comparativists' work, also published in the JCPA (Tremblaya et al 2003;Marxsen 2005;van de Walle 2006;Svendsen and Bjørnskov 2007;Leea and Whitford 2009;Serritzlewa and Svendsen 2011;Malekia and Bots 2013;Seifert et al 2013;Lin and Yu 2014). More specifically, we offer evaluations about the exact processes that result in quantitative variables and the objectification of social phenomena.…”
