We find that, before the onset of the Great Recession, governments formed by one (or more) right-wing parties are perceived as being around 1% more corrupt than those formed by one (or more) left-wing parties. We also find that misuse of public funds under coalitional governments is more likely to be perceived, that the longer the party of the current chief executive has been in office, the higher is the level of perceived corruption, and that minority governments and parties with a greater weight in the legislative chamber are also perceived as being more corrupt. However, the Great Recession has altered these relationships, increasing perceived corruption as the elections come closer, and softening or changing the impact of other political variables on perceived corruption. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/LMP71-18 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/S32-20R info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MCIU/ECO2015-65967-R info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess All rights reserved http://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 1.143 2021 ECONOMICS 306 / 381 = 0.803 2021 Q4 T3 0.44 2021 Sociology and Political Science 2021 Q2 Finance 2021 Q2 1.9 2021 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion Olmos, Lorena Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-1438-4581 Román-Aso, Juan A.
