Democracy that Delivers #257: Everything You Didn't Know about TI's Corruption Perceptions Index with Jon Vrushi

Jon Vrushi, Transparency International's Research Coordinator, joins ACGC's podcast to discuss the statistical basis and methodology behind the world's most popular corruption measure: The Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI). Vrushi explains the 13 data sources behind the index and explains why expert opinions and evaluations of public sector corruption - including some based on quantitative evidence - are used instead of public perception surveys. Listen to Vrushi discuss how the CPI is "used and abused," the impact it has (or doesn't have) on anti-corruption programming, and how tracking the world's corruption is influencing Transparency International's global strategy. He is joined by Anti-Corruption & Governance Center Director Frank Brown and CIPE Communications Director Ken Jaques.
