Overview
While officials involved in graft, bribery, extortion, nepotism, or patronage typically like keeping their deeds private, the fact that corruption can have serious effects in democracies is no secret. Numerous scholars have brought to light the impact of corruption on a range of economic and political outcomes. One outcome that has received less attention, however, is voter turnout. Do high levels of corruption push electorates to avoid the polls or to turn out in larger numbers? Though of great consequence to the corruption and voterturnout literature, few scholars in either area have tackled this question and none has done so in a broad sample of democracies. This article engages in this endeavor through an analysis of the broadest possible sample of democratic states. Through instrumental variable regression we find that as corruption increases the percentage of voters who go to the polls decreases. Bien que les agents impliqués dans les pots-de-vin, la corruption, l'extorsion, le népotisme, ou le clientélisme aiment naturellement garder leurs actes privés, ce n'est pas un secret que la corruption peut avoir de graves effets dans les démocraties. De nombreux chercheurs ont mis en lumière l'impact de la corruption sur toute une gamme de paramètres économiques et politiques. Un point qui a reçu moins d'attention, cependant, est le taux de participation électorale. Des niveaux de corruption élevés poussent-ils les électeurs à éviter les urnes ou à s'abstenir en grand nombre? Quoique conséquente sur la corruption et le taux de participation électorale, dans la littérature sur le sujet, peu de chercheurs ont abordé cette question et aucun ne l'a fait sur un large échantillon de démocraties. Cet article s'engage dans cet effort par une analyse de l'échantillon le plus large possible d'États démocratiques. À l'aide d'une régression à variable instrumentale, nous constatons que, lorsque la corruption augmente, le pourcentage des électeurs qui votent diminue. Mientras haya funcionarios involucrados en corrupción, soborno, extorsión, nepotismo, o clientelismo típicos, tales como mantener sus cuentas y acciones en privado, no es un secreto que la corrupción es un hecho que puede tener serias consecuencias para las democracias. Numerosos académicos han puesto de manifiesto el impacto de la corrupción en los resultados políticos y económicos. Sin embargo, uno de los efectos que ha recibido menor atención es aquél en la participación electoral. ¿Los altos niveles de corrupción llevan a los electores a evitar las urnas o a asistir en grandes números? A pesar de que existe vasta literatura sobre las consecuencias de la corrupción y sobre el número de votantes, pocos estudios, de ambas áreas, han abordado esta pregunta y ninguno lo ha hecho usando una muestra amplia de democracias. Este artículo se dedica a esta tarea a través de un análisis de la muestra más amplia posible de estados democráticos. Utilizando los instrumentos de la regresión de variables encontramos que a medida que la corrupción aumenta, el porcentaje de votantes que acuden a las urnas disminuye.
