Abstract

In einem empirischen Ländervergleich erweisen sich zwei Medienvariablen als besonders starke (negative) Determinanten des Korruptionsniveaus: die Anzahl der Internethosts und die Ausgaben für Information und Kommunikation. Für die beiden Variablen kann ein robuster korruptionsenkender Einfluss aufgezeigt werden. Die Ergebnisse deuten darauf hin, dass es nicht allein auf die Freiheit der Medien ankommt, über korrupte Vorfälle berichten zu können, sondern dass auch das Ausmaß der Mediennutzung (insbesondere der „neuen Medien“) eine bedeutsame Rolle spielt.
