The role of gender, ethnicity and harambee in corruption : experimental evidence from Kenya

This thesis uses experimental games which are novel in the Kenyan context to examine the extent to which individual attributes such as gender and ethnicity might influence the propensity to offer or accept a bribe, or to punish individuals who engage in such activities. In addition, this thesis uses a public good game and a common pool resource game to examine the alleged link between harambee and corruption.
