Survey Measures Political Corruption In State Government

Measuring corruption in government can be a tricky thing. A pair of researchers has tried to do it by asking political reporters in each state about both legal and illegal corruption in their states.

Oguzhan Dincer, an associate professor of economics at Illinois State University, is one of the researchers who worked on the 2015 Corruption in America Survey.

Oguzhan talked about what he was trying to look for with the analysis.
