Who is Targeted in Corruption? Disentangling the Effects of Wealth and Power on Exposure to Bribery Available to Purchase

*We are grateful to many colleagues for providing ideas and guidance on this project, especially Clark Gibson, Guy Grossman, Nahomi Ichino, Vlad Kogan, Paul Lagunes, Vittorio Merola, Jan Pierskalla, Nicholas Obradovich, and Pablo Querubin. The project also benefited from feedback at the 2014 NYU CESS Experimental Political Science Conference and the Comparative Politics Workshop at the Ohio State University. We especially wish to thank the dedicated and thoughtful team of research assistants in Malawi, who we do not list by name for their protection. This research received human subjects approval from the Ohio State University Human Research Protection Program (HRPP), the University of California, San Diego’s Institutional Review Board, and the Malawi National Commission for Science and Technology’s (NCST) Committee on Research in the Social Sciences and Humanities. A pre-analysis plan for this study was filed with Open Science Framework prior to data collection and is available at http://goo.gl/OQRbWW.
