They find women, employed, less wealthy, and older individuals to be more averse to corruption. The authors also provide evidence that social effects play an important role in determining individual attitudes toward corruption, as these are robustly and significantly associated with the average level of tolerance of corruption in the region. This finding lends empirical support to theoretical models where corruption emerges in multiple equilibria and suggests that "big-push" policies might be particularly effective in combating corruption. 2014-05-01T20:57:01Z 2014-05-01T20:57:01Z 2003-08 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2003/08/2510114/individual-attitudes-toward-corruption-social-effects-matter http://hdl.handle.net/10986/18137 English en_US Policy Research Working Paper;No. 3122 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Policy Research Working Paper Publications & Research
