Mungiu-Pippid, A & Dadašov, R. (2016) Measuring Control of Corruption by a New Index of Public Integrity. European Journal on Criminal Policy and Research, Volume 22, Issue 3, pp 415–438.
While the last 20 years saw the invention of corruption rankings, allowing comparison between countries and the shaming of corrupt governments, such measurements are largely based on the perceptions of experts, lacking both specificity and transparency. New research, based on a comprehensive theory of governance defined as the set of formal and informal institutions determining who gets what in a given context, allow for more specific and objective, albeit indirect, measurements of control of corruption. Such measurements focus on the institutional framework which empowers public integrity and eliminates many current anti-corruption tools, while validating others. Most importantly, it provides a broader specific context which can empower reforms based on evidence and a clear measure to determine status and progress of corruption control.

I congratulate the work of Dra Mungiu-Pippid, A and I value it, but I would create indices of institutional measurement, for the prevention of corruption, instead of insisting on the subsequent measurement of the facts, I would anticipate creating a set of institutional variables of transparency and prevention of corruption, so I control before the facts of corruption happen. thank you very much
