What Drives Corruption? A Cross-National Study

Content Outline for Final Project Report
Instructions: Your report must contain the following sections, clearly labeled. In parentheses you will find the approximate length for each section. This paper should be single spaced, Arial 12pt font. The length requirements include necessary tables that will need to be included in the Data Description, Methodology and Results section. However, you should not have more than 2 relevant figures (charts, tables, models) for each of these three sections. Any additional tables, charts or images should be included in the Appendices section. Chosen tables should be meaningful and addressed in the writing. Excessive sizing on tables (e.g. taking up a whole page with a table) will receive a deduction in points. Above all explanations for data results should be appropriate. Look at the paper samples provided for an idea of how to adequately include
figures.
