摘要：
There is great public concern on cost deviations and overruns in public projects, particularly regarding the impact of corruption and accountability. To examine this question, we use a data set of over 4,000 public projects from Portugal covering a 25-year period. By using the corruption and accountability index for Portugal, we are able to focus on the potential influence of these dimensions, while controlling for institutional, political, and economic variables. Our research method follows an econometric approach, using the cost deviation and the cost overrun of each project as dependent variables. The implication of this study is that more corruption and less accountability can lead to higher cost deviations and overruns.
