Dear colleagues,
The 5th virtual roundtable on measuring corruption will be held on May 10 from 10:00 PM to 11:30 PM (Japan Standard Time). This time, the discussion will focus on the use of news data to measure corruption levels.
An introductory presentation will be given by Dr. Sandile Hlatshwayo, followed by a combination of Q&A and open-floor discussion.
Dr. Hlatshwayo is an Economist in the Macro-Risk Unit at the International Monetary Fund (IMF) where she evaluates risks across the Fund’s 189 member countries. Among other publications, her team was responsible for the report “The measurement and macro-relevance of corruption: a big data approach” in 2018.
If you would like to join, please send me an email at jpozsgai@hus.osaka-u.ac.jp.
As before, the meeting intends to bring together a small number of specialists to have an informal conversation about the measurement of corruption.
This will be the fifth monthly installment of a series of meetings planned for 2022.
Best regards,
Joseph Pozsgai-Alvarez
