Corruption, Norms, and Legal Enforcement: Evidence from
Diplomatic Parking Tickets
We study cultural norms and legal enforcement in controlling
corruption by analyzing the parking behavior of United Nations
officials in Manhattan. Until 2002, diplomatic immunity
protected UN diplomats from parking enforcement actions, so
diplomats’ actions were constrained by cultural norms alone.
We find a strong effect of corruption norms: diplomats from
high‐corruption countries (on the basis of existing survey‐based
indices) accumulated significantly more unpaid parking
violations. In 2002, enforcement authorities acquired the right
to confiscate diplomatic license plates of violators. Unpaid
violations dropped sharply in response. Cultural norms and
(particularly in this context) legal enforcement are both
important determinants of corruption
1. What do the author state are often mentioned contributors to
corruption?
2. What is the confounding problem making it hard to
distinguish between these two contributors to corruption?
3. What do the authors basically study? What is diplomatic
immunity and why is it important? Why/How is parking
illegally considered a form of corruption?
4. How does studying diplomats in the U.S. allow the authors
to study culture?
5. Why is it hard to study corruption?
6. What is the authors’ comparison between Norway and
Nigeria?
7. What happened in November 2002?
8. What do the authors conclude from their experiment
regarding November 2002 and culture versus enforcement?
9. what some examples of how cultural background affects
individual behavior, according to prior research?
10. Describe some of the main results from Table 1
11. Describe Figure 1. What does it show?
12. The authors attempt to explain the number of unpaid parking
tickets by running a regression. They include some country-
level characteristics including, foreign aid, military aid, and
income per capita in these regressions. What reasons do the
authors provide for using these 3 measueres?
13. What does Table 3 show? (ie main results)
14. What do the authors find regarding individual diplomat
behavior as the time they are in NYC increases with respect to
parking tickets? How does this vary by high and low corruption
countries (Nigeria vs Norway)? What does this suggest/mean?
