“…Thirdly, while being used widely in research, the variables included in the current study have been subjected to criticism. For example, some researchers ( Bello y Villarino, 2021 ; Lin and Yu, 2014 ) have criticized the Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) for ignoring the local perspectives, which might bias the estimates and undermine the comparability among countries. Despite its limitations, CPI provides a standardized tool for measuring crude corruption in different countries and, thus, allows international comparisons at the general level.…”

“…It is well acknowledged that these concepts are difficult to measure. For example, the multifarious challenges of corruption definition and measurement are in Olken (2010), Heywood (2015), and Bello y Villarino (2021), among others. Similarly, addiction is difficult to measure, as discussed in Becker et al (1994); and Pauly et al (2012), Chapter 3.…”

“…At the same time, higher taxes may also raise GDP. Bello y Villarino (2021) reviews the measurement of corruption, underscoring limitations of particular datasets. The author highlights the suitability of some existing corruption databases in terms of their reliability and outlines limits of inference from using these databases.…”

“…Дилемма набора объективных и соизмеримых данных -основное препятствие на пути к выработке единого оценочного подхода. В особенности эта дилемма актуализируется при проведении транснациональных или сравнительных исследований [28].…”
