Perceptions of Political Corruption and Voting Behavior in South Korea
International Studies Review, 2019Co-Authors: Eunjung ChoiAbstract:While regular and competitive elections are expected to lower Political Corruption by holding elected officials accountable for their actions, citizens often fail to vote corrupt officials out of office in elections. This article explores how citizens’ perceptions of Political Corruption influence their voting behavior by testing three competing theories: nonvoting, opposition voting, and Corruption voting. This study also investigates the types of voters involved in each form of voting by considering three mediating factors: economic evaluation, partisanship, and education. Empirical findings from the South Korean case suggest that, in general, the high level of perceived Corruption decreases voter turnout, confirming the nonvoting theory. Second, Corruption voting occurs mostly among those who positively evaluate the economy and have the same partisan affiliation as the incumbent candidate. Finally, a high level of education leads to opposition voting. In sum, the empirical evidence confirms that incumbent candidates’ and party’s Political Corruption does not always lead to the electoral victory of opposition parties and their candidates because the mediating factors play a role in strengthening or weakening the patterns of nonvoting, opposition voting, and Corruption voting.

Political Corruption, Trust, and Citizen Evaluations of Democracy: A Cross-National Analysis
International Studies Review, 2014Co-Authors: Eunjung ChoiAbstract:Extensive literature on Political Corruption has addressed how pervasive Corruption poses challenges to economic development, distributive justice, and Political trust. While there is little doubt about the damaging effects of Corruption on economic and Political spheres, not much attention is given to the broader consequences of Corruption and declining Political trust on different facets of democratic governance. This study explores the reciprocal relationships between Political Corruption and various aspects of the health of democracy, as indicated by Political trust and the performance of government as well as by citizens’ beliefs in democratic values, norms, and practices. This study finds that Political Corruption and Political trust influence each other and that they, in turn, affect citizens’ opinion of democracy. The study also implies that Political Corruption brings detrimental effects to the deepening and consolidation of democracy in developing nations.

Political Corruption, economy, and citizens' evaluation of democracy in South Korea
Contemporary Politics, 2012Co-Authors: Eunjung Choi, Jongseok WooAbstract:South Korean politics has been haunted by numerous Corruption scandals as well as the prosecution of politicians and their cronies for their Corruption. Yet despite the prevalence and salience of Political Corruption, many citizens of South Korea tend to overlook the problem by continuing to support corrupt politicians and administrations. This study defines under what circumstances Political Corruption shapes citizens' judgment of government and the Political system as a whole in South Korea. The results indicate that national economic conditions as a perceptual screen mediate the effect of Political Corruption on the evaluation of democratic governance.

Political Corruption, economic performance, and electoral outcomes: a cross-national analysis
Contemporary Politics, 2010Co-Authors: Eunjung Choi, Jongseok WooAbstract:The current study examines how the incumbent government's economic performance plays a role in mediating the impact of Political Corruption on electoral outcomes in 115 developing countries with relatively higher levels of Corruption than Western consolidated democracies. Borrowing theoretical insights from the information-processing theory of voting, this study finds that Political Corruption becomes a formative electoral factor when the regime fails to sustain a sufficient level of economic growth. Otherwise, Political Corruption is not a significant factor that shapes electoral outcomes, irrespective of the level of perceived Corruption, because the economy occupies voters' minds as the most important issue, making it a more accessible issue than Political Corruption.

the public s conception of Political Corruption a new measurement tool and preliminary findings
European Political Science, 2018Co-Authors: Doron Navot, Itai BeeriAbstract:The past two decades have witnessed a burgeoning of scholarship on perceptions of Political Corruption and their determinants. Yet despite recent advances in understanding these perceptions and their importance to Political life, surprisingly little attention has been paid to the question of how the public understands Political Corruption. We address this gap by reconstructing the conventional conception of Political Corruption and by presenting a new empirical tool designed to measure the conceptualizations and conceptions of Political Corruption held by a given population. We present preliminary findings and explore the relevance of the new tool for elucidating the public’s understanding of Political Corruption.

Conceptualization of Political Corruption, Perceptions of Corruption, and Political Participation in Democracies
Lex localis - Journal of Local Self-Government, 2017Co-Authors: Doron Navot, Itai BeeriAbstract:This study empirically examines relationships between conceptions of Political Corruption, perceived levels of Corruption, and Political participation among members of the public. Based on a field study of 298 Israelis, we show that the effects of perceived levels of Corruption on participation are significantly influenced by how citizens conceptualize Corruption. The public's conceptions of Corruption influence whether and how they will participate. The findings provide strong evidence that while the perceived extent of Political Corruption is a powerful determinant of participation, the public's conception of Corruption must not be overlooked. Rather, both factors should be considered as important indicators of participation.

Real Politics and the Concept of Political Corruption
Political Studies Review, 2015Co-Authors: Doron NavotAbstract:This article explores some of the challenges generated by recent attempts to relate the concept of Political Corruption to real politics. It shows that the three distinct arguments upon which scholars who conceptualize Political Corruption through the lens of real politics often rely are ambiguous, and posit standards for the use of power on the basis of naive or conservative assumptions about politics. The article then contends that we do need to consider real politics in the study of Political Corruption, but not in the manner or for the reasons suggested in much current scholarship. Specifically, examining real politics can help us determine the form of any given case of Political Corruption. In making this argument, the article attempts to avoid the problems that accompany most real-politics-based understandings of Corruption while retaining concern for how the discourse around Political Corruption might influence Political study and democratic politics.

The Concept of Political Corruption
Public Integrity, 2014Co-Authors: Doron NavotAbstract:This article revises the concept of Political Corruption by bringing a fresh perspective to prebehavioral scholarship. It acknowledges prior scholarship but also recognizes its limitations. By refuting the assertion that early twentieth-century conceptions are irrelevant, understanding of Political Corruption and public integrity can be enhanced.

The effect of local Political Corruption on earnings quality
Review of Quantitative Finance and Accounting, 2018Co-Authors: Mai DaoAbstract:Our study examines whether Political Corruption of a local government at judicial district level influences earnings management activities of firms located in a corrupt area. Prior studies suggest that there is an association between Political connections and earnings quality (e.g., Braam et al. in Int J Account 50: 111–141, 2015; Harymawan and Nowland in Int J Account Inf Manag 24: 339–356, 2016). Nevertheless, there is little research regarding the impact of local Political Corruption at judicial district level on financial reporting quality. Using a sample of publicly listed U.S. firms from 2007 to 2014, we find that firms located in corrupt regions are more likely to manage earnings through accruals management and real activities manipulation (i.e., sales manipulation and overproduction). An additional analysis indicates that firms located in corrupt regions have less earnings persistence and are more likely to use positive discretionary accruals to meet or beat the consensus analysts’ earnings forecast. Taken together, our study extends prior literature by addressing the concern regarding the influence of local Political Corruption on firms’ earnings quality.

Political Corruption and Auditor Behavior: Evidence from US Firms
European Accounting Review, 2018Co-Authors: Mai Dao, Alex PetkevichAbstract:This paper investigates the impact of Political Corruption on auditor behavior in the United States. We find that US firms headquartered in more corrupt regions pay higher audit fees, have longer audit report lags, and are more likely to receive a going concern audit opinion. Political Corruption is a manifestation of a weak institutional environment and, as such, weakens the rule of law. In addition, Political Corruption erodes the public’s belief in a Political system and reduces interpersonal trust. Our results suggest that auditors assess the risk and trustworthiness of their clients based on where firms are headquartered. The results are robust to using a 2SLS regression analysis and a propensity-score-matched sample. This study extends the prior research on Political Corruption and the client risk management strategies used by external auditors. Moreover, the current study will be helpful to regulators considering the more explicit role of external auditors in Corruption risk assessment.
