"When you can measure what you are speaking about, and express it in numbers, you know something about it; but when you cannot express it in numbers, your knowledge is of a meagre and unsatisfactory kind; it may be the beginning of knowledge, but you have scarcely, in your thoughts, advanced to the stage of science, whatever the matter may be."
Lord Kelvin

September 16, 2016

 

Presentation of the CRCB’s new research results in the William Gates Building of the Computer Laboratory at the conference  “Frontiers of Data Science for Government: Ideas, Practices, and Projections. Data for Policy -2016” organised by the University of Cambridge.

The presentation covered corruption risk detection, measuring competitive intensity, and a new way to analyse overpricing suggested by the CRCB’s researchers. Based on statistical analyses of 127,000 Hungarian public procurement contracts and 1,700,000 European ones, the presentation highlighted the perverse effects of EU funding on the Hungarian economy (shrinking competitive intensity, increased corruption risks, overpricing, and the creation of a crony capitalist system).
