Economic growth with endogenous corruption: an empirical study (2011, background): “The usefulness of the CPI in year-to-year comparisons is questioned by many (Williams and Siddique 2008) due to the fact that the set of countries covered by the index has changed over time as new countries have been added.”
Measures of corruption and determinants of US corruption (2011, background): “country-specific and cross-national investigations, although a thorough measure of corruption remains elusive (see Donchev and Ujhelyi 2007 and Sampford et al. 2006; more broadly, see Williams and Siddique 2008 ).”
