Outline of Research at the Start

Acute corruption is a serious problem in Pakistan and requires urgent remedies. The proposed research will use lab experiments with Muslim students in Pakistan to study whether religious nudging can be an effective tool to modify the attitudes of young Muslims against offering or accepting corruption. If religious nudging will effectively modify attitudes against corruption, from a policy perspective, it will mean that the government can use religious nudging to fight corruption in Pakistan.
