Journal Article
Woodhouse, E. F., Meyer-Sahling, J.-H., Sass Mikkelsen, K., Schuster, C., Maruful Islam, K., & Rahman, T. (2024). Does Political Corruption Reduce Pro-Social Behavior by Bureaucrats? Lab Experimental Evidence from Bangladesh. Governance, https://doi.org/10.1111/gove.12900

Numerous studies assess how politicians control and shape bureaucracy. Yet, how politicians’ behavior affects the norms and behaviors of bureaucrats through role modeling has not been studied. This is a curious omission, in light of evidence that soc... Read More about Does Political Corruption Reduce Pro-Social Behavior by Bureaucrats? Lab Experimental Evidence from Bangladesh.
