Abstract
In studying the Great Depression, Galbraith asserts that the higher the transitory income the higher the corruption. For a panel of 39 countries over 13 years, 1995–2007, Galbraith's claim holds. Regression analyses also confirm that the higher the permanent income, the lower the corruption.
