腐败定罪对政府信任的影响是复杂的。一方面，它们可能反映了一个司法管辖区腐败的严重性。另一方面，它们可能表明了反腐败努力的程度。现有文献表明了腐败负面影响的严重性，以及反腐努力对制度信任的积极影响。这项研究综合了已有的研究，找出了文献中的智力谜题，并提出了开放的假设，以调查腐败定罪如何系统地影响公民对政府的信任。实证分析采用的是来自不同来源的国家级面板数据。结果显示，腐败定罪对公众对政府的信任有积极影响。
The influence of corruption convictions on government trust is complicated. On one hand, they may reflect the severity of corruption in a jurisdiction. On the other hand, they might indicate the degree of anticorruption efforts. Existing literature has suggested the severity of corruption’s negative effects and the positive effect of anticorruption efforts on institutional trust. This research synthesized existing studies, identified the intellectual puzzle in the literature, and developed open hypotheses to investigate the way in which corruption convictions systematically affect citizens’ trust in government. State-level panel data merged from different sources were used for the empirical analyses. The results showed a positive influence of corruption convictions on public trust in government.
