A Research Report on China's Corruption Cases during 2000 － 2009: Empirical analysis of some 2800 corruption cases

基于一家中央法制报刊2000-2009年的腐败案件报道,本文试图通过数据来观察我国腐败现状及特征。数据分析的结果表明,腐败规模处于上升状态,政府采购、工程承包成为腐败高发案件领域。土地腐败案件更为突出。同时,处、厅局级干部成为腐败的高危人群,不仅是受贿和巨额财产来源不明等问题的主体,还是索贿案的主要查处对象。因此,我国廉政建设更趋复杂和艰巨。为此本文提出若干廉政治理的对策。本文也指出腐败数据研究的难点及局限性。

Drawing on a new dataset of corruption cases，this paper examines the pattern， characteristics，and scale of corruption in China． The findings indicate that corruption has been on the rise in recent years． Government contracts，especially those concerning construction projects，are particularly prone to corruption． Corruption in land transactions has also become rampant． Furthermore，the authors find that the division-and bureau-level cadres are at high risk of corruption． Many bribery and misappropriation cases have involved cadres at these levels． Given the above findings， China’s effort at building clean government will face more challenges in the years to come． The article concludes by offering some policy recommendations．
