A cohort of 12 students in the “Journalistic research and investigation” course at CEU’s DPP launched a new cross-border investigation earlier this month. Conducted by lecturer Marius Dragomir, the course, now in its fourth year, is designed to familiarize students with how a journalistic investigation is conducted.

DPP Associate Professor Mihály Fazekas published a paper in Public Choice, co-authored with Emmanuel Wittberg. The article looks at whether corruption risks in public procurement impact the profitability of firms in the Swedish construction industry. Unlike previous studies linking corruption and firm performance in high corruption risk environments, the authors look at Sweden which is known to be clean.
