對於社會科學的研究者而言，欲進行通則化理論的實證，比較研究是最主要的途徑。本文強調大樣本比較對於貪腐研究的重要性，然而，貪腐的定義與測量兩個難題卻限制了此種研究的進行。1995年後，運用商業組織的數據化指標進行實證研究，成為了貪腐研究上的一個新趨勢，以「貪腐印象指數」操作及測量貪腐的方式為例，我們探討這種貪腐研究的趨勢可能產生的爭議，並提出，研究者無法透過此種指標區辨在質和量上大不相同的貪腐現象，而將其指數運用至貪腐之原因及結果的研究，可能發生「不精確」的問題。

To researchers of social science, ”comparative study” provides an important approach for theoretical generalization. In this article, we emphasize the importance of ”large N” comparison to the studies of corruption while the approach may be restricted by the obstacles concemd with definitions and measurement. Recently, the avenue of applying quantitative index into empirical study becomes a current trend in studies of corruption. Take the method that CPI operates and measures corruption, for example, we deal with a few controversies of the the trend in studies of corruption, arguing that by using such indexes, researchers cannot precisely distinguish different corruption in aspects of quantity and quality. Therefore, applying these indexs into studies of causes or results of corruption may generate a problem of ”imprecision”.
