The Role of Governance in Mobile Phones for Inclusive Human Development in Sub-Saharan Africa (2016, neutral): “Kaufmann et al. (2007a) have replied to Kurtz and Schrank (2007a) with a three point argument to demonstrate that the claims by Schrank and Kurtz (2007a) are unsubstantiated.”

Mapping the Regional Divide in Europe: A Measure for Assessing Quality of Government in 206 European Regions (2014, background): “…from the fact that many of the key concepts of QoG, such as corruption, cannot be measured directly, and the field has as a result gravitated toward the overrepresentation of expert perceptions as a source of data to capture cross-country differences (see, for example, Kurtz and Schrank 2007).”
Mass Privatization, State Capacity, and Economic Growth in Post-Communist Countries (2012, background): “(The latter two have been found to generate a significant positive growth bias in studies of economic performance [see Kurtz and Schrank 2007, Knack 2007]).”
