Abstract: The current article aims to define corruption quantification and its importance in contemporary governance, to review methods, explore statistical models, analyze the impact of corruption quantification and also to introduce Romania as a case study for examining the challenges and methods of quantifying corruption by summarizing the primary methods and models discussed and emphasize the importance of a multi-faceted approach to corruption quantification. The article also reflects on the specific challenges of measuring corruption in Romania and the impact of accurate quantification on improving governance and suggests potential future directions for both research (e.g., integrating new technologies like blockchain to improve transparency) and policy reform in Romania.
