Shelter in Place? Depends on the Place: Corruption and Social Distancing in American States
Copyright policy )Shelter in Place? Depends on the Place: Corruption and Social Distancing in American States
We investigate the links between corruption and compliance with social distancing during COVID-19 pandemic in America. Both theory and empirical evidence point to a corrosive effect of corruption on trust/social capital which in turn determine people's behavior towards compliance with public health policies. Using data from 50 states we find that people who live in more corrupt states are less likely to comply with so called shelter in place/stay at home orders. Our results are robust to different measures of corruption.
