Right.
Try reading up on "institutional quality" (and how economists usually
instrument that); the opposite of that is, really, "corruption."

John.

I have an endogeneity problem with one my variables : corruption and I want

Is there any stata command to compute the average ? How can I construct my
instrumental variable?
Sorry, but trying to instrument corruption with bribes paid is like trying to instrument Fahrenheit temperature with Celsius (from someone who has published a university press book on corruption). Find a better instrument.
