RESEARCH QUESTION • Do the Control of Corruption Indicator and its sub-sources show sensitivity to discrete corruption-related events (CREs)?
METHODOLOGY • Purposive Sampling • Ponzi scheme in Benin (2010) • Sponsorship scandal in Canada (2003) • Anti-corruption reforms in Georgia (2004) • “Credible” signal reforms in Kenya (2003) • Needle-jump • Post liberalization reforms in Serbia (2000)
LIMITATIONS • Lack of external validity • Sampling biases • Data inaccessibility • Non-causal identification
SCANDAL IN BENIN • Micro-lending bank discovered to be Ponzi scheme • President Yayiinvolvement • Approximately USD $327M
SCANDAL IN CANADA • Sponsorship Scandal • Provided payoffs and kickbacks to party supporters • Reflected in the data, but quick recovery
REFORMS IN GEORGIA • 2003 Rose Revolution • Overhaul of police system, drastic decrease in petty bribery • Heralded as anti-corruption success
REFORMS IN KENYA • Kibaki anti-corruption election platform • Establishment of Kenyan Anti-Corruption Commission and appointment of Permanent Secretary for Governance and Ethics • Business as usual
REFORMS IN SERBIA • Removal of Milosevic • Economic liberalization and broad anti-corruption reforms • Continued corruption
GENERAL FINDINGS • Non-uniform responsiveness • UCM weighting • Bias toward long-term sustainable change • Connection between CREs and other events too difficult to disaggregate
RECOMMENDATIONS • Complete additional research • Evaluate continued efficacy and construct validity of CoC to MCC objectives • Further analysis on correlation of CoC to other governance indicators
