Summary
Corruption negatively impacts environmental efficiency, especially in regions with lower transparency. Addressing corruption is key for sustainable development and achieving global environmental goals.
Area of Science:
- Environmental Science
- Economics
- Political Science
Background:
- Corruption, defined as abuse of power, exacerbates economic inequality.
- This hinders progress towards United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal 16.B.
- Existing research has explored economic and environmental impacts of corruption, but the dynamic relationship with environmental efficiency across regions remains under-examined.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the dynamic relationship between environmental efficiency and varying levels of corruption.
- To account for geographical regions in the analysis of environmental efficiency and corruption.
- To explore the role of government transparency in this relationship.
Main Methods:
- A dynamic meta-frontier slacks-based measure approach was employed.
- Environmental efficiency was analyzed across different corruption levels.
- Geographical regions were incorporated as a key variable.
Main Results:
- Empirical results indicate a significant association between the corruption perception index and environmental efficiency.
- Geographical region was found to be a determinant of environmental efficiency.
- Government transparency also emerged as a significant factor influencing environmental efficiency.
Conclusions:
- Corruption perception is linked to environmental efficiency, highlighting the need for anti-corruption measures.
- Regional disparities and government transparency are critical factors influencing a country's environmental performance.
- Findings underscore the importance of good governance for achieving environmental sustainability.

During the 1950s, the landmark Robbers Cave experiment demonstrated that when groups must compete with one another, intergroup conflict, hostility, and even violence may result. At the Oklahoman summer camp, two troops of boys—termed the Rattlers and the Eagles—took part in a week-long tournament. During this time, their negativity culminated in derogatory name-calling, fistfights, and even vandalism and destruction of property. However, this work also revealed that such tension...

The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence...

Regression toward the mean (“RTM”) is a phenomenon in which extremely high or low values—for example, and individual’s blood pressure at a particular moment—appear closer to a group’s average upon remeasuring. Although this statistical peculiarity is the result of random error and chance, it has been problematic across various medical, scientific, financial and psychological applications. In particular, RTM, if not taken into account, can interfere when...

01:14Fundamental Attribution Error
12.8K
According to some social psychologists, people tend to overemphasize internal factors as explanations—or attributions—for the behavior of other people. They tend to assume that the behavior of another person is a trait of that person, and to underestimate the power of the situation on the behavior of others. They tend to fail to recognize when the behavior of another is due to situational variables, and thus to the person’s state. This erroneous assumption is...

While variables are sometimes correlated because one does cause the other, it could also be that some other factor, a confounding variable, is actually causing the systematic movement in our variables of interest. For instance, as sales in ice cream increase, so does the overall rate of crime. Is it possible that indulging in your favorite flavor of ice cream could send you on a crime spree? Or, after committing crime do you think you might decide to treat yourself to a cone?

One influential perspective on what motivates people's behavior is detailed in Tory Higgin's self-discrepancy theory (Higgins, 1987). He proposed that people hold disagreeing internal representations of themselves that lead to different emotional states.
