Seminar Corruption risk measurement: linking local spending and political alignment

The EU-funded RESPOND research project, led by University of Bologna, is hosting its third online open seminar. Organized by project partner Government Transparency Institute, the session will introduce methods for combining large administrative datasets to measure corruption risks.

The seminar will also feature a case study that links public procurement data with electoral results, examining how patterns in local government spending may relate to changes in political alignment.
