SMU economist wins $50,000 'budding genius' prize with highly cited corruption research

(Southern Methodist University) Economist Danila Serra, an assistant professor at Southern Methodist University, Dallas, is the inaugural recipient of the $50,000 Vernon L. Smith Ascending Scholar Prize for her highly cited corruption research. Serra uses the unique methodology of lab experiments to study bribery, and has questioned long-standing assumptions. She has found corruption declines as perpetrators take into account social costs of their illegal activities, and as victims share information about specific bribery exchanges through online reporting.
