Abstract
"The BPI is a ranking of 30 leading export countries according to the propensity of firms with headquarters in those countries to bribe when operating abroad. It is based on the responses of more than 8,000 business executives from companies in 125 countries, who were polled as part of the World Economic Forum’s Executive Opinion Survey 2006.2 To create the BPI 2006, which assesses the international supply side of bribery, executives were asked about the propensity of foreign firms that do the most business in their country to pay bribes or to make undocumented extra payments. Respondents rank the foreign countries whose firms they know to be doing significant business in their own country on a scale of 1 (bribes are common) to 7 (bribes never occur). In calculating the BPI, the answers are converted to a score between 0 and 10, and the ranking reflects the average score."(pg 331)
