| Summary: | Reinikka and Svensson demonstrate that,
with appropriate survey methods and interview techniques, it
is possible to collect quantitative micro-level data on
corruption. Public expenditure tracking surveys, service
provider surveys, and enterprise surveys are highlighted
with several applications. While often broader in scope,
these surveys permit measurement of corruption at the level
of individual agents, such as schools, health clinics, or
firms. They also permit the study of mechanisms responsible
for corruption, including leakage of funds and bribery, as
data on corruption can be combined with other data collected
in these surveys. |
