Citations in the corpus
- THE DETERMINANTS OF CORRUPTION A Literature Survey and New Evidence (2006, methodology): “Prior to the imputation we transform all variables to improve the distributional characteristics of the data.(18) A more normal (symmetric) distribution implies that the majority of data fall within the two standard deviations of the mean and extreme values occur with small probability.”
- Governance regimes, corruption and growth: theory and evidence (2008, background): “32 See Persson et al. (2003), Lederman et al. (2005) and Chang and Golden (2006) for careful studies of the institutional determinants of corruption.”
- The Electoral Sweet Spot: Low‐Magnitude Proportional Electoral Systems (2011, background): “Chang and Golden (2007), for example, find that corruption is lower in countries with open-list than with closed-list proportional representation, provided that average district magnitude is below 10, whereas at very high magnitudes (above 20) open-lists systems are associated with more corruption.”
- The Primary Effect: Preference Votes and Political Promotions (2016, background): “Individual vote-seeking behavior can sometimes be detrimental to the democratic system, as stressed by Chang and Golden (2007) in the Italian case.”
- The Politics of Effective Foreign Aid (2010, background): “Political science is rife with studies linking political institutions to corruption (Persson et al. 2003, Chang 2005, Chang & Golden 2007), and scholars have long noted a strong correlation between corruption and arrested economic growth (Mauro 1995, Ades & di Tella 1999, Treisman 2000).”
