When Do Citizens Support Corrupt Politicians? The Trade‐Offs Between Corruption and Competence
The intriguing paradox of wide public disdain for corruption alongside popular corrupt politicians exists globally. By speaking to public ethics theory and rational choice theory, this study examines the trade‐off in which citizens tolerate corrupt officials in exchange for their competence to deliver public benefits. Using a conjoint experiment embedded in a sample of 30,521 surveys across 60 cities from 33 nationalities (regions) in 2023, this …
Disease burden and attributable risk factors of lip and oral cavity cancer in China from 1990 to 2021 and its prediction to 2031
Aims: This study addresses the essential need for updated information on the burden of lip and oral cavity cancer (LOC) in China for informed healthcare planning. We aim to estimate the temporal trends and the attributable burdens of selected risk factors of LOC in China (1990-2021), and to predict the possible trends (2022-2031). Subject and methods: Analysis was conducted using data from the Global Burden of Disease study (GBD) 2021, encompassi…
Why donors give during emergencies—An institutional analysis on government transparency
This study employs an institutional approach to examine and explain donor‐giving to a government during emergencies. Using data from 120 countries during Covid‐19 and other sources, we tested a process transparency explanation against a performance transparency perspective. We find that a donor's decision to give to a government during emergencies is likely influenced by the availability and quality of process‐oriented fiscal information, not pas…
Why Trust Weighs More? Investigating the Endogenous Relationship Between Trust and Perceived Institutional Effectiveness
This study investigates the intricate interplay between citizens’ trust in government institutions and their perceptions of institutional effectiveness. The two may have an endogenous relationship as they influence each other. Yet, since they stem from different sources and have distinct dynamics, their relationship may exhibit a directional bias in terms of causality: citizens’ trust may impact the perception of institutional effectiveness more …
A New Survey Instrument for Tracking Public Opinion on Social Inclusion
Unpacking Public Perceptions of Effectiveness in Anti-Corruption Agencies
Anti-corruption agencies (ACAs) serve the important function of protecting society’s moral and legal standards. How does the public perceive their effectiveness? What variables influence these perceptions? To what extent does perceived effectiveness interact with the level of trust in a government institution? Using the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) in Hong Kong as a case and based on a disaggregated approach, this study attemp…
From big data to higher bureaucratic capacity
This study explores how big data technologies can create an “information commons” shared by all policy stakeholders to alleviate the corruption and information asymmetries long endemic to poverty alleviation programs. We argue that the information commons can transform discrete data first into information with clear policy purposes and then into actionable knowledge. This process increases bureaucratic competence by improving policy accuracy and …
Government information disclosure and citizen coproduction during Covid‐19 in China
While information campaigns have been widely recognized as a pillar of public health crisis management and heightened by the current COVID‐19 pandemic, an insufficient number of studies have investigated the impact of information disclosure on influencing citizen cooperation crucial for emergency management. Focusing on generic information disclosure practices during the recovery period from January 19, 2020, to February 29, 2020, in China and by…
Budgetary Punctuations
Although the development of punctuated equilibrium theory makes broad reference to the bureaucratic procedures that regulate budgetary decision making and makes reasonable assumptions about the influence of those procedures on the dynamic of resource allocation, little is known about how the specific mechanisms work. This has led to a call to understand the processes that cause friction in greater detail. This study examines how budgetary output …
How environmental bureaucrats influence funding legislation
Government spending on the environment has long been explained as a reaction to ecological deterioration. Little is known about the role of political institutions and players in environmental funding decisions, which is surprising given the rapid institutionalization of environmental bureaucracies since the late 1970s. Grounded in information processing theories and employing data from Hong Kong, this research examines bureaucratic strategies for…
Citizens' Confidence in Government Control of Corruption
What motivates environmental leadership behaviour – an empirical analysis in Taiwan
Leaders in the public sector play a critical role in formulating and implementing environmental policies. However, existing studies mainly attribute policy actions and outcomes to institutional factors, while the roles of individual public administrators are largely ignored. This empirical analysis satisfies this gap by answering the following questions: Why do some administrative leaders do more than others in environmental protection? What moti…
The Formation and Impact of Isomorphic Pressures
In this article, we examine the impact of isomorphic pressures on institutional practices, a field that has not been adequately explored and explained. A critical issue, on which this article focuses, is the process by which isomorphic pressures translate into homogenous institutional practices across organizations. Drawing on the case of extravagant position‐related consumption in local governments in China, we identify the sources of isomorphic…
Public financial management and the campaign against extravagant position-related consumption in China
It is widely believed that public finance management is a key factor in keeping the government away from corruption and fiscal misconduct. However, rules and regulations of public finance management are embedded in the macro institutional settings, and thus are subject to broader influences impacting implementation of these rules. Employing the perspective of informal institutions, this research explores how formal financial rules interact with i…

The Perception of Anti-corruption Efficacy in China
The impact of economic well-being on perceptions of anti-corruption performance
Corruption studies have suggested that corrupt politicians may win public support by providing substantial economic benefits to their citizens and that if a government works effectively to promote economic development, people may forgive its corruption problems. Thus, there is a positive relationship between citizens’ tolerance for political corruption and the economic benefits they receive from the government. Does economic well-being shape peop…
