Equality in Housing returns for Series 2 with a conversation with Mushtaq Khan, Chief Executive of Housing Diversity Network. Pedro and Gareth spoke to Mushtaq about the work of HDN, the opportunities presented for the housing landscape by a new government, and the role housing associations should play in responding to racism, particularly in the context of the UK riots of 2024. https://www.housingdiversitynetwork.co.uk/ HDN has produced a Roundtable Briefing following the far-right violence in England in 2024. HDN has produced a 14-point plan to support tenants and communities through the riots.  Better Social Housing Review Hope Not Hate

Rebroadcast: this episode was originally released in September 2021.If you're living in the Niger Delta in Nigeria, your best bet at a high-paying career is probably ‘artisanal refining' — or, in plain language, stealing oil from pipelines.The resulting oil spills damage the environment and cause severe health problems, but the Nigerian government has continually failed in their attempts to stop this theft.They send in the army, and the army gets corrupted. They send in enforcement agencies, and the enforcement agencies get corrupted. What's happening here?According to Mushtaq Khan, economics professor at SOAS University of London, this is a classic example of ‘networked corruption'. Everyone in the community is benefiting from the criminal enterprise — so much so that the locals would prefer civil war to following the law. It pays vastly better than other local jobs, hotels and restaurants have formed around it, and houses are even powered by the electricity generated from the oil.Links to learn more, summary, and full transcript.In today's episode, Mushtaq elaborates on the models he uses to understand these problems and make predictions he can test in the real world.Some of the most important factors shaping the fate of nations are their structures of power: who is powerful, how they are organized, which interest groups can pull in favours with the government, and the constant push and pull between the country's rulers and its ruled. While traditional economic theory has relatively little to say about these topics, institutional economists like Mushtaq have a lot to say, and participate in lively debates about which of their competing ideas best explain the world around us.The issues at stake are nothing less than why some countries are rich and others are poor, why some countries are mostly law abiding while others are not, and why some government programmes improve public welfare while others just enrich the well connected.Mushtaq's specialties are anti-corruption and industrial policy, where he believes mainstream theory and practice are largely misguided. To root out fraud, aid agencies try to impose institutions and laws that work in countries like the U.K. today. Everyone nods their heads and appears to go along, but years later they find nothing has changed, or worse — the new anti-corruption laws are mostly just used to persecute anyone who challenges the country's rulers.As Mushtaq explains, to people who specialise in understanding why corruption is ubiquitous in some countries but not others, this is entirely predictable. Western agencies imagine a situation where most people are law abiding, but a handful of selfish fat cats are engaging in large-scale graft. In fact in the countries they're trying to change everyone is breaking some rule or other, or participating in so-called ‘corruption', because it's the only way to get things done and always has been.Mushtaq's rule of thumb is that when the locals most concerned with a specific issue are invested in preserving a status quo they're participating in, they almost always win out.To actually reduce corruption, countries like his native Bangladesh have to follow the same gradual path the U.K. once did: find organizations that benefit from rule-abiding behaviour and are selfishly motivated to promote it, and help them police their peers.Trying to impose a new way of doing things from the top down wasn't how Europe modernised, and it won't work elsewhere either.In cases like oil theft in Nigeria, where no one wants to follow the rules, Mushtaq says corruption may be impossible to solve directly. Instead you have to play a long game, bringing in other employment opportunities, improving health services, and deploying alternative forms of energy — in the hope that one day this will give people a viable alternative to corruption.In this extensive interview Rob and Mushtaq cover this and much more, including:How does one test theories like this?Why are companies in some poor countries so much less productive than their peers in rich countries?Have rich countries just legalized the corruption in their societies?What are the big live debates in institutional economics?Should poor countries protect their industries from foreign competition?Where has industrial policy worked, and why?How can listeners use these theories to predict which policies will work in their own countries?Producer: Keiran HarrisAudio mastering: Ben CordellTranscriptions: Sofia Davis-Fogel

EP. Br#008 Contemporary economics and policy studies struggled with two main paradoxes: while on one hand policies previously successful in some countries remain futile in others, on the other hand, different approaches were capable of solving the same issues in different contexts. A Political Settlement Framework tackles this paradox by acknowledging the need to tailor policies to the idiosyncrasies of each society. Within the framework, the primary focus is on understanding the social context as it studies the interaction between groups (organizations) and the rules they are subjected to (institutions). In this episode, PEI colleague Khushi Rai sits with Prof Mushtaq Khan on his political settlements analysis of the Madhes Province. The conversation is based on an upcoming publication that he has co-authored, titled: “Madhesh and the Challenge of Inclusive Federalism in Nepal”. This briefing paper is based on a provincial settlement study drafted from a tracking exercise at the national, provincial, and local spheres of governance in Nepal by SOAS and PEI under the Research and Evidence on Nepal's Transition project. Mushtaq is a Professor of Economics at SOAS University of London, where he heads the Anti-Corruption Evidence Research Consortium and is also the joint lead for the Research and Evidence on Nepal's Transition project. He is a leading thinker on political settlements. The two explore the process of mobilization in Madhesh, the drivers of their movement, and how all of that culminated in the Constitution that was eventually promulgated. They also examine the role of Madhesh in the implementation of federalism, the evolution of new settlements with the emergence of newer actors, and what all this means for the future of inclusive federalism in Madhesh. They end with three plausible scenarios in this regard and also discuss the possible implications for federalism in Nepal.

Mushtaq Ahmed Khan, completed his postgraduate degree in business administration from a Delhi college. Yet Ahmed chose to return to the Kashmir Valley. His family objected, but Mushtaq was insistent that he did not want a corporate job. For him, joining the ancestral business meant a lot more. “After working for a few years in different companies, I was not happy. It took me some time to convince my elders that there is nothing wrong with joining our family business. My father allowed me to join and learn the trade only when he realized that I would not give up,” says the 44-year-old, who heads a team of 45 wazas. Now, he is known as Mushtaq Shaitan.

Mushtaq Khan on Making Anti-Corruption Effective: A New Approach. The lecture is part of the LSE ID Cutting Edge Issues in Development Thinking & Practice series.

Test

When soldiers were returning from the trenches after World War I, the government launched an initiative called ‘homes for heroes' and Mushtaq thinks that this is just as important today as we face multiple housing crises. He believes we need to, as a society build homes that are suitable for today's need and to help people live and thrive. This crisis has been going on for last 30-40 years fuelled by the governments push on home ownership as the tenure of choice, houses being sold off through homes to buy resulting in being priced out of housing market as cities become unaffordable, and people spending a higher percentage of their income on their housing.

One of the dominant explanations for elusive development in many parts of the world is the negative role played by corruption in the development process. And many national and local governments as well as international aid agencies have spent considerable time and resources trying to come up with plans to combat the corruption menace. But anti-corruption policy has often been difficult to implement and many well-intentioned efforts have had limited impact. Despite the challenges associated with researching the phenomenon, corruption has attracted considerable academic interest over the years. And one of the leading thinkers on anti-corruption, governance and economic development is my guest this week. Mushtaq Khan is a professor of economics at SOAS, University of London where he directs the Anti-Corruption Research Consortium (ACE).Mushtaq Khan and Anti-Corruption Research Consortium on TwitterDan Banik and In Pursuit of Development on Twitter

29. Mushtaq Khan & Paul Heywood on populism, digital technologies & RCTs (Part II) Social norms of Corruption The interview picks up on a discussion about research on social norms and corruption, mentioning the distinction between descriptive and injunctive norms (for more insights check out our previous episode with Prof Bicchieri https://soundcloud.com/kickback-gap/13-cristina-bicchieri-on-social-norms-of-corruption-antanas-mockus-and-soap-operas). In evaluating these and other projects, Paul points out the general challenge to measure success in anti-corruption projects. Many insights can serve as a proof of concept, that then need further support via follow-up research. One promising example is the work by Liz David-Barret and Mihály Fazekas on identifying red flag risks in procurement by using big data (see here: https://ace.globalintegrity.org/redflag/) and the work by Jan-Hinrik Meyer-Sahling and Christian Schuster on training civil servants (https://ace.globalintegrity.org/projects/ethics/). Further resources need to be invested to gain better insights and to evaluate the success more broadly. Can it be a problem that there is apparently no progress in anti-corruption (at least when looking at the CPI)? Paul outlines that major organizations such as the World Bank are aware that the standard toolkit approach of the last 25 years has not worked very well. They start to ask themselves what they can do. There is space for further support. So when it comes to the donor’s perspective, the lack of progress does not lead to apathy but a rethinking of corruption efforts. When it comes to the public perception of apparent lack of progress, Paul outlines that this unfortunate, yet something that we on our own cannot address. At the same time he emphasizes the work with the change agents who can help to bring about real change. Mushtaq adds that indeed, not all problems can be immediately addressed. It often requires a long transition for corruption on a broad scale to be reduced. Development will not happen without detailed anti-corruption work across different sectors. At the same time, he argues that there are some forms of corruption that can be addressed pretty quickly. Having more nuanced, sectoral-level indicators, will help to better understand which efforts have impact and are feasible. He thereby proposes a “radicalism of digging into solvable problems” and working hard to solve them. The double-edged sword of public perceptions about corruption Large scandals have helped to get a better understanding about corruption among key policy makers. Particularly important have been the revelations such as the Panama papers (see more insights Kickback #6: https://soundcloud.com/kickback-gap/6-episode-frederik-obermaier ) as they show that corruption is a multi-faceted concept, not a thing. It is complex, dynamic, and new forms of corruption often emerge, in particular revealing that corruption often occurs in networks that span across several countries. These revelations have raised awareness and moved away from a simple interpretation of corruption. Yet, at the same time, the public eye, such revelations might reinforce a view that corruption is widespread.

In the first part Mushtaq and Paul outline the milestones in their carriers as corruption researchers. ACE The next section of the interview takes a deep dive into the Anti Corruption Evidence Program. Paul outlines how it was initiated after concerns about the lack of evaluation of development projects and the risk of development spending being lost due to corruption were voiced. As a response DiFiD developed AntiCorruption Evidence, which has two parts: A Research partnership consortium led SOAS ACE which is led by Mushtaq and GI ACE which consists of grants competition for leading international researchers to examine the most effective ways to fight corruption. Mushtaq gives some background information about how SOAS ACE consists of projects that are linked and share a common theory of change, which focus on Nigeria, Tanzania and Bangladesh. Mushtaq argues that the reason why many anti corruption efforts have failed lies in the assumption that most people in developing countries follow rules and a few greedy people break the rules. The common approach has then been to find and punish these “bad apples” in order to get rid of corruption. SOAS ACE however starts from the assumption that in many developing nations, people do not have the capacities to follow rules leading to a large informal sector. Also politics in developing nations is different. There is less tax revenue in developing nations, leading to more clientelism. In order to then bring about anti-corruption one has to identify the demand for anti corruption. That is, finding organizations which need a rule of law in their own interest and are powerful enough to demand it. He then outlines how the rule of law is different from rule by law and how economics can help to identify a market for anti corruption. Paul in turn outlines the approach of GI ACE which has four features: a) Focus on anti-corruption, b) a focus on real world problems real issues, c) politics of anti-corruption, and d) demonstrating impact. It marks a swing towards local problem driven approaches. In this work GI ACE is focused on three core themes, namely International architecture enabling illicit financial flows, promoting integrity and moving away from nations as units of analysis. He comments on whether the integrity turn by organizations such as OECD and World bank indeed offers a better approach than classical anti corruption efforts. In the last part of the interview you can find out how much cross-fertilization happens between GI and SOAS ACE and how Paul’s and Mushtaq’s views differ when it comes to intrinsic integrity and how research in behavioral ethics might provide empirical answers (for more info on the study by Gächter that Paul mentions see references or this Kickback episode: https://soundcloud.com/kickback-gap/17-shaul-shalvi) References Matthew’s blog post Blogging in a Time of (Mostly Unrelated) Crisis–A Note to Readers can be found here: https://tinyurl.com/GABCorona Gächter, S., & Schulz, J.

Digital identity systems: Great potential but let's not forget the risks. In conversation with Mushtaq Khan In our third podcast from the SOAS Anti-Corruption Evidence research consortium, Mushtaq Khan joins Agata Slota to explain why digital identity systems have been lauded for their potential to reduce fraud and improve the delivery of public services. But along with the benefits come risks, especially for the poor and marginalised.

Complexity is a powerful multi-disciplinary idea that combines insights from both the natural and social sciences, especially economics and economic geography, to study the dynamics of complex systems of heterogeneous agents, the multiple interactions between them, and the aggregate behaviours that emerge from those interactions. Arguably, the most prominent empirical approach to complexity is that of the Atlas of Economic Complexity, developed by Ricardo Hausmann and Cesar Hidalgo (H&H) at Harvard’s Growth Lab. The Atlas itself is a remarkable – and strikingly beautiful - online resource, which uses network theory methods to provide a snapshot of a country’s productive structure, as well as a measure of the complexity and diversity of its production and those of individual products. This ‘Product Space’ approach is rooted in the idea that ‘countries become what they produce’. It is a view of economic development as the accumulation of productive capabilities of increasing sophistication. As countries develop, they produce more and more products and those products attain higher and higher levels of complexity, embodying more and more productive knowledge. This in turn provides more capabilities to produce yet more products and so creates a virtuous circle. Countries in which more detailed policy analysis has been carried out within the last two years include Sri Lanka, Uganda, Rwanda, Panama, Algeria, Mexico and Peru. This paper contextualises H&H’s work within the recent resurgence of interest, in both academic and policy circles, in industrial policy. Comparing and contrasting the Product Space approach with other contemporary approaches to industrial policy, from authors including Justin Lin, Dani Rodrik, Joseph Stiglitz, Ha-Joon Chang and Mushtaq Khan, this paper sets out the strengths and weaknesses of conceptualising industrial development in terms of increasing economic complexity and diversity. In the technical section, the paper critiques the mathematical methods by which complexity is defined and rewrites the concept in terms of Markov chains on weighted graphs. This alternative formulation permits the application of Markov chain concepts, such as convergence to the stationary state, similarity and spectral clustering, in order to reinterpret complexity and other spectral data. These techniques are then related to economic aspects of complexity, such as production, technological change and capabilities. It is argued that the changing nature of production poses particular challenges to the ‘Product Space’ approach as well as other modes of industrial policy, and on this basis an ‘industrial ecosystems’ approach is outlined.

Enough good jobs are vital to social cohesion. But people can't get and keep good jobs without skills. Mushtaq Khan and Jess Sinclair Taylor look into a highly funded development sector, skills training, and ask what could be done to combat corruption in the skills sector, using Mushtaq's work in Bangladesh as an example. The results have some far wider implications than you might imagine.

In a first podcast from the SOAS Anti-Corruption Evidence research consortium, Mushtaq Khan joins Jessica Sinclair Taylor to explain why standard, off-the-shelf approaches to anti-corruption in developing countries are failing. So what's to be done? Mushtaq unpacks the ACE approach to corruption and tells us why he thinks it can provide some solutions.

Prof. Bill Lazonick. We can define economic development as sustained productivity growth that is equitably shared among the population on a stable basis. Underpinning economic development are innovation processes that, by generating higher quality products at lower unit costs, can raise standards of living. In general, investment in these innovation processes is carried out by business enterprises that must compete for markets to survive. The foundation of a theory of economic development is, therefore, a theory of innovative enterprise. In this lecture, I will lay out the key concepts – strategic control, organizational integration, and financial commitment – in the theory of innovative enterprise to provide a framework for analyzing the social conditions that enable innovation to occur. Then I will discuss the implications of the theory of innovative enterprise for understanding productivity growth, income distribution, and employment stability in a national economy as a whole. Finally, drawing on the history of economic development over the past century, I will highlight changes over time and across nations in the characteristics of innovative enterprise and, relatedly, national paths to equitable and stable economic growth. William Lazonick is professor of economics and director of the Center for Industrial Competitiveness at University of Massachusetts Lowell. He is co-founder and president of The Academic-Industry Research Network. He is the author or editor of 13 books, including Sustainable Prosperity in the New Economy? Business Organization and High-Tech Employment in the United States (2009) winner of the 2010 International Joseph A. Schumpeter Prize. His article, "Innovative Business Models and Varieties of Capitalism," received the Henrietta Larson Award from Harvard Business School for best article in Business History Review in 2010. His Harvard Business Review article “Profits Without Prosperity: Stock Buybacks Manipulate the Market and Leave Most Americans Worse Off” received the HBR McKinsey Award for outstanding article in Harvard Business Review in 2014. Lazonick is currently completing a book, The Theory of Innovative Enterprise, to be published by Oxford University Press.
