Trust and corruption revisited: how and why trust and corruption shape each other

Eric Uslaner ()

Quality & Quantity: International Journal of Methodology, 2013, vol. 47, issue 6, 3603-3608

Abstract: Graeff and Svendsen argue that low trust leads to corruption but corruption does not lower trust. I challenge this argument as well as their critique of Uslaner. I present evidence to show that there is a reciprocal relationship between trust and corruption. Copyright Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2013
