Public sector corrupt exchanges
Question: How routinely do public sector employees grant favors in exchange for bribes, kickbacks, or other material inducements?

Clarification: When responding to this question, we would like to you think about a typical person employed by the public sector, excluding the military. If you think there are large discrepancies between branches of the public sector, between the national/federal and subnational/state level, or between the core bureaucracy and employees working with public service delivery, please try to average them out before stating your response.

Responses:
0: Extremely common. Most public sector employees are systematically involved in petty but
corrupt exchanges almost all the time.
1: Common. Such petty but corrupt exchanges occur regularly involving a majority of public
employees.
2: Sometimes. About half or less than half of public sector employees engage in such exchanges
for petty gains at times.
3: Scattered. A small minority of public sector employees engage in petty corruption from
time to time.
4: No. Never, or hardly ever.
