An Axiomatic Approach to the Measurement of Corruption
No generally accepted framework exists for constructing and evaluating measures of corruption. This article shows how the axiomatic approach of the poverty and inequality literature can be applied to the measurement of corruption. A conceptual framework for organizing corruption data is developed, and three aggregate corruption measures consistent with axiomatic requirements are proposed. The article also provides guidelines for empirical applica…
Hierarchical Human Capital and Economic Growth
We embed an N-level human-capital hierarchy in a growth model and demonstrate that the hierarchical structure generates an optimal investment program with phases of stock depletion and expansion in the stocks of the various levels of human capital. We then take the implications of the model to data from a diverse sample of countries and find patterns of stock expansion and contraction consistent with the theoretical model. We also illustrate how …

Such coordination implies correlated participation decisions, which invalidates standard assumptions made in estimating participation with probits and wages with regressions. We employ a GMM estimatio…
