Gender and CorruptionAnand SwamyWilliams College Young LeeUniversity of Maryland - Center on Institutional Reform and the Informal Sector (IRIS) Omar AzfarUniversity of Maryland - Center on Institutional Reform and the Informal Sector (IRIS) Stephen KnackWorld Bank - Development Research Group (DECRG) November 1999 IRIS Center Working Paper No. 232 Abstract: Using several independent data sets, we investigate an aspect of corruption that has received little attention: its differential incidence by gender. We show using micro data that women are less involved in bribery, and are less likely to condone bribe taking. Cross-country data show that corruption is less severe where women comprise a larger share of the labor force, and where women hold a larger share of parliamentary seats.
