A random survey of local residents is used in conjunction with institutional anticorruption indicators. Findings suggest that the top-down approach works, but with substantial variation across practices. More intense top-down anticorruption deters bribery incidence within citizens' dense networks, and more judicial convictions directly suppress citi...

The authors scrutinize 50 articles from 12 journals over 18 years to trace the development of pub...
