Cecilia F. Lavena

Open publisher page 44 citations

Abstract

Understanding citizen corruption permissiveness can help clarify whether a general willingness to fight corruption exists in a society. Using 2005-2007 World Values Survey data from six Latin American countries, an index measuring corruption permissiveness was constructed. Results suggest that permissiveness varies by country and is associated with age, education, ethnicity, cultural values, and confidence in public organizations.
