dc.description.abstractI study data on bribes actually paid by individuals to public officials, viewing the resultsthrough a theoretical lens that considers the implications of trust networks. A bond of trustmay permit an implicit quid pro quo to substitute for a bribe, which reduces corruption.Appropriate networks are more easily established in small towns, by long-term residents ofareas with many other long-term residents, and by individuals in regions with many residentstheir own age. I confirm that the prevalence of bribery is lower under these circumstances,using the International Crime Victim Surveys. I also find that older people, who have had timeto develop a network, bribe less. These results highlight the uphill nature of the battle againstcorruption faced by policy-makers in rapidly urbanizing countries with high fertility. I show thatvictims of (other) crimes bribe all types of public officials more than non-victims, and arguethat both their victimization and bribery stem from a distrustful environment.en
