What this measures

Corruption Perceptions Index, in index (0-100, higher = cleaner). Source: Transparency International. For this measure, higher is better.

Measures how corrupt the public sector is believed to be, based on 13 surveys of experts and business people. Some of the same surveys feed the Worldwide Governance Indicators' Control of Corruption measure, so the two share ingredients.
