07.12.2021 New Publication: Effect of public corruption on the COVID-19 immunization progress

A new study by Mohammad Reza Farzanegan & Hans Philipp Hofmann (CNMS) on "Effect of public corruption on the COVID-19 immunization progress" is published at Scientific Reports from Nature.

The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak has resulted in the death of over four million people since late 2019. To reduce the human and economic costs of COVID-19, different vaccines have been developed and distributed across countries. There has been significant cross-country variation in the vaccination of people against COVID-19.

In this study, Farzanegan & Hofmann focus on public corruption to explain the significant cause of cross-country variation in immunization progress. They suggest that countries with a higher degree of public corruption have been less successful in the vaccination of their population, controlling for other important determinants of immunization progress.
