Title:The transition of corruption: from poverty to honesty
Authors:Gundlach, Erich
Paldam, Martin
Issue Date:2009
Citation:[Volume:] 103 [Issue:] 3 [Pages:] 146-148 [Journal:] Economics letters [ISBN:] 0165-1765
Abstract:Prehistoric measures of biogeography are used as instruments for modern income levels. We find that our instrumented incomes explain the cross-country pattern of corruption just as well as actual incomes, so the long-run causality appears to be entirely from income to corruption.
Subjects:Long-run development
Corruption
