Social Norms, State Punishment, and Motivation Crowding in Anti‐Corruption Messaging
A growing body of scholarship views corruption not merely as a failure of monitoring and enforcement but as a resilient informal institution sustained by social perceptions—and misperceptions. When citizens believe others tolerate or engage in corruption, resisting it becomes a collective action problem, allowing corruption to perpetuate itself. Using a large‐scale survey experiment in China, this study tests whether correcting exaggerated percep…
