Abstract
This article presents a discussion of recent interdisciplinary literature on the empirical and experimental study of corruption. Empirical analysis of corruption is hampered by its illegal nature. Econometric studies based on corruption perception data have prevailed over the past two decades. While these have advanced our understanding of the phenomenon, the limits of this methodology are increasingly being felt by establishing cautions and exploring the foundations for corrupt or ethical decision-making by individuals. Recently, economic, political, psychological and organisational literature has applied the experimental method to better understand corrupt behaviour and test anti-corruption measures. The review presents and discusses the main inputs of this literature and thus provides a starting point for further research into open questions.
