Abstract: 
This paper examines how inter-industry wage differentials affect corruption and red tape at the firm level using data for 43,568 firms from 52 countries. Both perception-based and experience-based measures of corruption and red tape are considered. Data on wage differentials come from a new database that adopts micro-surveys as the underlying data sources. We find strong evidence that managers of high-wage firms in relatively poor countries perceive more corruption, face more red tape and spend more on bribes. These results are consistent with our hypothesis that corruptible government bureaucrats utilize the information on inter-industry wage differentials to target high-wage firms to extract bribes.
