Previous research has found the contagion effect in corruption, nevertheless the mechanisms underlying the contamination of corruption remain unexplored. In this paper, we varied different kinds of information relevant to corruption, which are the number(breadth) /the size(depth) /the maximum amount of corruption, exposed to participants in a laboratory experiment to testify how the salience of different information affects participants' corruption decisions. Our results show that participants are more likely to engage in corruption and provide a higher amount after they are informed of the information of peers' corrupt behaviors. We confirm that decreasing social norms cost related to corrupt behavior, belief of increased likelihood of finding a partner to reach corruption, and conforming to peers' behaviors are the main channels.
期刊介绍：
The China Economic Review publishes original works of scholarship which add to the knowledge of the economy of China and to economies as a discipline. We seek, in particular, papers dealing with policy, performance and institutional change. Empirical papers normally use a formal model, a data set, and standard statistical techniques. Submissions are subjected to double-blind peer review.
