Crude Realities: Oil, Corruption, and Anti-corruption campaigns
Cost of a Policy: Social Trust and Health Insurance Uptake in Azerbaijan and Emerging Markets
Do low levels of social trust increase a population’s sense of insecurity and desire to get an insurance policy or alternatively make it turn to informal networks for safety nets? While generalized social trust is an important variable to explain insurance uptake, the existing literature offers conflicting accounts of its impact on a population’s insurance demand. By employing a mixed-methods research design that combines multivariate regression …
Death beyond the means: Funeral overspending and its government regulation around the world
While death-related household overspending is increasingly an international phenomenon with far-reaching implications, the government responses to it vary greatly throughout the world. This article offers a model of death-related overspending, including both population and governments. The analysis of data from 118 countries empirically supports the main research argument-the decline of traditional hierarchies and simultaneous ascendance of newly…
Invention commercialization among Russian scientists: Bridging the gap between ideational and material realms
Purpose The purpose of this paper is twofold. First, the article explores an understudied side of invention commercialization–the rejection of business as something “dirty” among Russian scientists. As such, the paper contributes to the individual-level explanations of innovation promotion, hence balancing extant literature's excessive focus on institutional explanations. Second, the article suggests that Russian scientists' rejection of business…
Burying Instability: Post-Soviet Governments' Regulation of Funerals
Why are post-Soviet states disproportionately more active in the regulation of a private life sphere like funerals? Striving to address this question, the study combines quantitative and qualitative data analysis. I argue that the combination of high poverty and low political stability makes post-Soviet states more responsive to the increasing financial burden of death costs on households, prompting them to a more active interference into funeral…
Household overspending on marriage: The scale of the problem and government reactions around the world
Purpose The article offers an empirical investigation of the incidence and scale of household marriage overspending around the world, and the governments' reaction once the problem emerges. Design/methodology/approach This study relies on regression analysis of open source data from legislation, mass media, and judiciary hearings for 141 countries. In the Phase 1 logistic regression of cross-country large-N data is used to identify country-incide…
Eroding support for democracy in Azerbaijan? Context and pitfalls in survey research
What determines the level of support for democracy in post-Soviet hybrid regimes? How stable is popular support for democracy, and what can explain its volatility? This article explores these questions using evidence from the European Bank of Research and Development's Life in Transition survey in Azerbaijan, where from 2010 to 2016 support for democracy suddenly fell from 60% to 28% – the lowest score in the transition region. We juxtapose socia…
Psychological dimension of corruption: How are citizens likely to support anti-corruption policies in Azerbaijan
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore relatively neglected side of corruption – citizen-initiated bribe offers – to identify the degree to which citizens on the grassroots level are ready to support top-down government anti-corruption policies. Design/methodology/approach Drawing on Avessalom Podvodny’s framework of modalities, this research analyzes the results of the nationally representative survey of 1,002 respondents, and ten in-de…
Adoption of agricultural innovations in Azerbaijan: No prospects for modernization
Adoption of best agri-practices and innovations are vital for commercialization and modernization of agriculture. Favourable geographic position and climatic resources of Azerbaijan make agriculture one of the most promising launchpads for the rapid development of non-oil industry in the country. However, despite efforts of international donors, the rate of innovation adoption among local farmers is still low. The article analyzes major factors s…
Localization, Formalism, and Passivity: Symbols Shaping Bribe Offers in Azerbaijan
The article analyses a neglected side of corruption – citizen-initiated bribe offers in Azerbaijan. The main rationale for taking a citizen focus on corruption is to identify whether citizen choices support state-led anti-corruption initiatives. Drawing on a survey of 1002 respondents, the research shows that ‘tolerance of corruption’ is high among the population in Azerbaijan. Logistic regression results show that bribe offers among citizens are…
Corruption and social responsibility: Bribe offers among small entrepreneurs in Azerbaijan
The literature on corruption concentrates exclusively on bribe demands by bureaucrats and does not analyse bribe offers by citizens. Building on theoretical propositions from socio-cultural theories of corruption, this article uses the logistic regression method to test whether lower social responsibility translates into higher rates of bribe offers by small and medium entrepreneurs in Azerbaijan. Based on a survey of 611 respondents, the researc…
