| Summary: | A new measure of cross-national
corruption is constructed based on the geographic
distribution of public officials involved in cross-border
corruption cases. A comparison is made between the Public
Administration Corruption Index (PACI) and perception-based
measures, considers the extent to which differences between
them are driven by systematic factors, and concludes that
they are not. As more data on cases of cross-border bribery
incidents become available, the PACI will provide an
increasingly valid cross-national measure of corruption. |
