This workshop benefitted from key research insights from: Prof. Olken, @dinapomeranz.bsky.social, @tomvalletti.bsky.social, Prof. Bandiera, @andreaprat.bsky.social, Prof. Litschig, Dr. Gerardino, and @sergallett.bsky.social

A huge thanks to the National Institute of Public Administration for hosting me and to everyone who contributed to such an engaging discussion!

🔍 Some key topics we covered:
✔️ How institutional vs. academic approaches measure corruption 📊
✔️ The direct and unintended effects of monitoring policies 🎯
✔️ Spillover effects—how monitoring influences even those not directly targeted 🌍

This was truly a stimulating experience! Engaging with practitioners who deal with these challenges firsthand made the discussion even more meaningful. Their insights and perspectives reinforced just how crucial evidence-based policymaking is in the fight against corruption.

What an incredible experience at Malaysia’s National Institute of Public Administration!

I was honored to be invited to speak on corruption—its measurement and the effects of monitoring to a large audience of civil servants from various Malaysian public institutions.
