The Effect of Corruption on Voting Behavior: Comparative Designs

Abstract

In this panel, we encourage scholars to propose manuscripts that study the effects of corruption on voting behavior via comparative research designs. Testing whether certain mechanisms hold in varying contexts is crucial of our understanding of this issue, and comparisons at all levels (country, regions, municipalities, cities, etc.) are welcome. Participants are welcome to conceive of the concept of corruption in a broad (societal) or narrow (individual scandals) manor to test these effects.
