Empirical evidence on the micro level, however, is still far from being exhaustive. In particular, it is not clear to what extent empirical results of interesting case studies - both experimental and microeconometric - are specific to the cultural or normative context in which they have been derived. In how far are social norms in conflict with corrupt temptations and how does this context-specific conflict guide human behaviour? This special issue is devoted to furthering our understanding of the extent of context-specificity of empirical results on corruption.
