"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

The Corruption Research Center Budapest team wins the U4 Proxy Challenge competition for measuring corruption.

 

On the 4th of February 2014, the CRCB team, István János Tóth and Mihály Fazekas, participated in the Proxy Challenge workshop in Bergen (Norway) organised by the U4-Anti-Corruption Resource Centre. In a competition with four other finalist teams, CRCB has won this global competition for proposing novel corruption measures, including innovative indicators of institutionalised grand corruption in public procurement. The evaluation panel included, among others, Phil Mason from DFID and Jesper Johnson from U4. We are thankful for the support and assistance we received during this event and look forward to continuing our work on innovative corruption indicators.
