Paper long abstract:
The Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) is internationally recognised as a leading anti-corruption scheme, which promotes transparency, accountability and good governance of public oil, gas, and mining revenues. This paper provides the first quantitative investigation of the impact of EITI on corruption in Zambia using an approach called Synthetic Control Method. It investigates whether the effects of the scheme are concentrated in particular stages of its implementation and reviews the operational challenges faced in this context.
