THE ORIGINS OF CORRUPTION IN DEVELOPING AND TRANSITIONAL COUNTRIES: INSTITUTIONAL DECENTRALIZATION AND SOCIAL NORMS
Unformatted Document Text:  5 corrupt actions. Third, despite the different sources of the surveys, Shang Jin Wei has found that the pairwise correlations among the indices are very high. For example, the correlation between the Business International and Transparency International indices and that between Business International and Global Corruption Report indices are 0.88 and 0.77, respectively. These high correlations suggest that statistical inference on corruption is not very sensitive to the choice of corruption index. 4 However, to further increase the accuracy of these measures, I will supplement the statistics with expert analyses from academics specializing in China and Indonesia as well as internal measures of the number of corruption cases prosecuted by the government. These analyses support the trends described in the World Bank governance data. 4 Shang Jin Wei, “Corruption in Economic Development: Beneficial Grease, Minor Annoyance, or Major Obstacle?” working paper, 1998.
