Measuring Corruption in Infrastructure: Evidence from Transition and Developing Countries
评估了现有证据对基础设施领域腐败程度和影响的衡量能力，发现感知指标效果差，调查证据更可靠但有限，并质疑以贿赂支付作为腐败成本指标的做法。
This paper examines what we can say about the extent and impact of corruption in infrastructure using existing evidence. There is evidence that most perceptions measures appear to be very weak proxies for the actual extent of corruption in the infrastructure sector, largely (but inaccurately) measuring petty rather than grand corruption. Survey evidence is more reliable, but limited as a tool for differentiating countries in terms of access to infrastructure finance or appropriate policy models. The paper suggests that a focus on bribe payments as the indicator of the costs of corruption in infrastructure may be misplaced.
