| Abstract: | This article gives the first systematic measure of bribery using micro-level data on reported earnings, household spending and asset holding. The authors use the compensating differential framework and the estimated sectoral gap in reported earnings and expenditures to identify the size of unobserved (unofficial) compensation (bribes) of public sector employees. They used the conditions of labor market equilibrium and developed an aggregate measure of bribery and found that the lower bound estimate of the extent of bribery in Ukraine is between 460 million and 580 million U.S. dollars. |
