The 2012 Economics of Corruption will focus on experimental and behavioral approaches to anticorruption.
It is particularly directed towards PhD and Master-students who want to deepen their studies and share exchange on
recent research. Findings from the lab and the field are surveyed, linked to survey-data and confronted with theory.
Interactive tools such as games, poster presentations and case studies involve participants
and make them acquainted with today's challenges. Prof. Johann Graf Lambsdorff and his team have spearheaded models for reform related to such issues as
contract penalties, compliance systems, debarment, procurement, leniency and corporate liability. Participants are introduced into this body of research.
They work in groups to develop and implement their own experiments and discuss their findings.
PhD-students are invited to present their findings (theoretical or empirical) in the form of a poster-presentation.
This international event is offered on a pro bono basis. There is no tuition fee. It is directed towards graduate and post-graduate students and faculty in the social sciences. |
Time: October 6-13, 2012
Program: The program is available here.
This year three guest lectures by outstanding experts on behavioral and experimental corruption complement the program:
Prof. Dr. Bernd Irlenbusch, University of Cologne, Germany, "Moral Hypocrisy"
The event consits of guest presentations by selected experts, case studies, group discussion, games and poster presentations. The course is restricted to successful applicants (information see below).

Requirements: PhD-students and advanced scholars are invited to present a poster covering their latest research or findings from an anticorruption project, theoretical model, field study or laboratory experiment. More information on the poster presentations is available here.
Prospective participants must apply by completing the application form. 40 participants have already successfully registered for the event (23 students from Passau and 17 external participants, mostly PhD-students). The deadline has been extended until Sep 10, 2012 to allow for a limited number of 5 more participants. Please send your application to Ms Maxie-Lina Mehling.
The excellence of the application is judged on the academic background, motivation and, if submitted, the quality of the poster presentation. No limits are put on methodology or academic disciplines. Posters can be empirical, theoretical, experimental or of more practical relevance.
