Abstract
"Transparency International (TI) has published its Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) annually since 1995. It is a composite index, using surveys of business people and assessments by country analysts to provide an annual snapshot of corruption perceptions in particular countries. Year-on-year changes in a country’s CPI score are the result not only of changes in perceptions of a country’s performance, but of changes in survey samples and methodology and alterations in the list of sources that constitute the index. Changes in sources have made it difficult to derive valid time-series information from CPI results and therefore TI has only been able to draw limited conclusions regarding progress or setbacks in the countries listed. There is, nevertheless, a growing demand for trend data. The causes and consequences of corruption, as well as the success of anti-corruption efforts, can be better addressed and investigated when time-series information is available.2 The following analysis of the CPI and its component data provides initial findings relating to country trends over the period 1995–2004."(pg 292)
