Abstract: This study examines informal payments/gifts paid by wholesalers during and postcrisis periods. We find that bribes were less frequent for wholesalers in general, post-crisis. The results hold for certain groups of wholesalers when they are classified with respect to structure, size, structure, legal form, and owner and manager’s gender. However, we do not find much evidence of significant difference between the crisis and post-crisis period in terms of the incidence of bribes when we categorize them into customs/imports, courts, and taxes.
