The Power of Negative Thinking: Corruption Perception and Willingness to Bribe in Ukraine
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper provides an empirical analysis of the association between corruption perception and the willingness to offer bribes, as well as of the influence of different sources of information on corruption perception in the Ukraine. The higher the perceived corruption in an organization, the more probable it is that a person dealing with that organization will offer a bribe, therefore supporting corruption. Since corruption perceptions are rarely based on actual experience, they might describe reality inadequately. In such a case the sources of corruption perception might facilitate or diminish the actual corruption level. JEL codes: Z13, C31, C35, D73
