Chapter 13 in Handbook on Gender and Corruption in Democracies, 2024, pp 146-159 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This book chapter identifies and evaluates existing data sources to study questions on corruption and, more pointedly, to evaluate the important intersection between corruption and gender. Specifically, we consider two primary indicators of revealed corruption (concrete measures of corruption, like audits, and corruption allegations, scandals, and investigations), one proxy objective corruption (permissive institutional structures), and three indicators of perceived corruption (expert surveys, public opinion surveys, and survey experiments). With each measure, we consider tradeoffs in terms of validity and generalizability, with reference to specific topics and studies of interest to scholars working on topics related to gender and corruption. This book chapter is designed to serve as a critical foundation for empirical research on corruption and gender.
