Beyond Unidimensional Corruption Metrics: Mixed-Source and Multi-Level Approaches to Measuring Corruption

Abstract

This Panel invites conceptual and empirical work that moves beyond one-dimensional indicators to develop mixed-source, multi-level strategies for measuring corruption. It welcomes research that integrates diverse data sources to capture the complex, relational dynamics of corruption. Papers may propose or test measurement frameworks combining systemic/macro, organisational/meso, and individual/micro levels of analysis, or linking multiple datasets to explore corruption as a multi-causal and context-dependent phenomenon.
