Anti-corruption campaigns often include an awareness raising component which highlights the negative consequences of corruption; the idea is that awareness will empower citizens to demand a change. However, experiences from developing countries suggest that messages that highlight corruption’s prevalence may actually backfire by adding to the belief that corruption is normal and an intractable collective action problem. In this paper, we present findings from a survey experiment conducted in Port Moresby with over 1500 respondents, to understand how Papua New Guineans might respond to different messages about corruption and anti-corruption. Each respondent was randomly assigned to a group where they either were not exposed to a message about corruption (control group) or had one of four messages read to them and were shown a picture that was tightly associated with the message. The messages, each a separate narrative, emphasised the legal, moral and communal aspects of corruption and anti-corruption in Papua New Guinea, as well as its ubiquity. Findings suggest that respondents are more likely to see corruption as widespread, have favourable attitudes about reporting corruption, and may be more willing to report corruption when they are exposed to anti-corruption messages that emphasise impacts to respondents’ local kinship groups. These findings have significant implications for those seeking to increase citizens’ willingness to respond to corruption in contexts where corruption resembles a collective action problem.

A paradigm shift has taken place in the conceptual framework of Corporate Responsibility which has led to the emergence of a holistic approach towards Governance, Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Accountability. We expect that social responsibility has a distinct and positive effect on the security prices in the stock market. This paper aims at studying the broad trends in the market in terms of ESG, as proxy of socially responsible companies, and NIFTY, as the proxy of general companies, to identify the breaks, if any, and to examine the price discovery process in both the indices, in terms of growth rate. We have identified three periods i.e. pre-crisis, crisis and post-crisis period. We conclude that the growth rate and return is more in ESG index than NIFTY index. Hence, social responsible companies are performing better than general companies both in terms of price discovery and returns, for the whole period. After the crisis the investors had become sensitised to social responsibility and had begun to absorb and internalise the behaviour of socially responsible companies in the price discovery process.
