Title: Country Risk Assessment and the Corruption Perception Index in the Context of National Culture

Abstract: The article examines whether Hofstede’s dimensions of national culture correlate with country-risk and corruption-perception indicators in Central and Eastern Europe. Its empirical comparison finds only limited and inconsistent relationships between cultural similarity, corruption levels, and country risk.

Keywords: Country risk assessment; corruption perception; national culture; Hofstede dimensions; Central and Eastern Europe; governance indicators
