Validation Validated |
|
Validation method the indicator is partially validated. the developers only set forth possible ways of validation of CRI, but according to their own assessment, it takes several years to validate the aforementioned indicators on a whole scale. These elementary validation routes, however, are important as follows: 1. analysis of cross-sectional and time-series distribution of CRI 2. relationship between the amount of spending not reported in the PP database and CRI on the organisational level 3. analysis of profitability and turnover growth of winning firms with different CRI 4. political control of winning companies is collated with their CRI 5. comparison of average CRI of "crony companies" with those whose success is largely unaffected by government change. |
