Episode 10. Rooting Out or Rooting For Corruption? Why Some Corrupt Politicians Keep Winning
Ever wondered why voters sometimes overlook corruption at the ballot box? In this episode, we explore the fascinating paper by Pablo Fernández-Vázquez, Pablo Barberá, and Gonzalo Rivero, "Rooting Out Corruption or Rooting for Corruption?" We dive deep into the varied electoral consequences of corruption scandals, uncovering why some corrupt officials remain popular.
We simplify complex findings into engaging discussions, revealing how voters might ignore corruption when it provides short-term economic benefits, while only punishing corruption when they don't benefit from it.
