Symmetric vs. Asymmetric Punishment Regimes for Bribery This paper presents a behavioural experiment designed to test the decision-making process around bribery according to punishment strategies. This experiment was conducted in Bonn and Shanghai with 192 students.

Observing that two types of legal frameworks coexist for penalizing bribery, the authors question their relative effectiveness in preventing corruption. Symmetric punishment regimes are legal frameworks that equally penalize bribers and recipients, whereas asymmetric regimes tend to punish the recipient more harshly. Read More...

Anticorruption Commissions: The “Hong Kong Model” Revisited Over the past 15 years the use of anticorruption commissions (ACCs) has diminished significantly.
