腐败由强大的男性网络维持,加剧了妇女被排斥在政治之外。然而,与这种传统智慧相反,我们认为腐败有时会增加妇女获得权力的机会。由于妇女往往被认为比男子“干净”,在机构允许政府首脑对经济问题负责的情况下,首席执行官可能会利用妇女担任高级别职务的机会来表明他们正在遏制滥用公职谋取私利的行为。在过去16年里,我们调查了150多个国家,调查腐败是否以及在哪里与女性财政部长的存在有关,女性财政部长是一个能够平息经济不法行为的高调职位。我们表明,腐败的增加增加,特别是在自由和公正的选举和总统制的国家,支持妇女的存在。我们的研究结果只在高问责性的背景下成立,这表明这种关系不是内生的,而是反映了首席执行官们先发制人的努力。
Corruption is sustained by powerful male networks, reinforcing women’s exclusion from politics. Yet, contrary to this conventional wisdom, we theorize that corruption can sometimes increase women’s access to power. Since women are often perceived as “cleaner” than men, where institutions allow heads of government to be held accountable on economic issues, chief executives may use women’s inclusion in high-profile posts to signal that they are curbing the abuse of public office for private gain. Examining upward of 150 countries over 16 years, we investigate whether and where corruption is linked to the presence of women finance ministers—a high-profile post capable of quelling economic malfeasance. We show that increases in corruption bolster women’s presence, particularly in countries with free and fair elections and presidential systems. That our results hold only in contexts of high accountability suggests this relationship is not endogenous but reflects chief executives’ efforts to preempt punishment.
