透明国际报告的47个国家的腐败感知指数得分被用来确定国际商业中受贿的决定因素。在多元回归分析中使用了两组自变量-经济和文化。结果表明，受贿现象在人均收入低和收入分配差距较小的国家更有可能普遍存在。文化因素，如一个国家的高权力距离和高男子气概，也可能与高受贿率有关。经济因素和文化因素都是贿赂的重要解释因素。的影响，打击贿赂的调查结果进行了讨论。
Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) scores for 47 countries reported by Transparency International were used to ascertain determinants of bribe taking in international business. Two sets of independent variables – economic and cultural – were used in a multiple regression analysis. Results indicate that bribe taking was more likely to be prevalent in countries with low per capita income and lower disparities in income distribution. Cultural factors such as high power distance and high masculinity in a country were also likely to be associated with high level of bribe taking. Both economic and cultural factors were important explanatory factors of bribery. Implications of the findings for combating bribery are discussed.
