Research on the economic consequences of
corruption has been hampered by the inability to directly
measure corruption. Using an innovative methodology that
allows respondents to report individual experiences with
corruption while minimizing self-incrimination and an
objective diagnostic to evaluate lying (false responses),
this paper explores the extent of business corruption in
Bangladesh. The analysis shows that traditional measures of
corruption underreport the extent of business corruption in
Bangladesh and existing strategies to evaluate and elicit
truthful responses have limited effectiveness. The authors
identify the types of firms that are associated with false
responses and nonresponses to survey questions on corruption.
